Apple unveiled its new iPhone 18 lineup at a launch event featuring John Ternus's first appearance as CEO, headlined by the company's first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, alongside new AI features on the Apple Watch. The event also introduced the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, alongside the AirPods 5, which bring active noise cancellation to a lower-cost model and are now available for preorder ahead of a September 18 launch. Commentary on the launch has focused on Ternus's debut leadership performance, reception of the new AI capabilities, and whether Apple's health-related AI features on the Watch venture into risky territory.
