Apple is reportedly targeting September 9 for an event expected to introduce the iPhone 18 Pro lineup, its first foldable iPhone known as the Ultra, Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, and other hardware, though the company has not confirmed the date. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said pre-orders may shift to Saturday, September 12, because September 11 is the 25th anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks, while analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has warned production issues could delay the foldable model and constrain early supply into the fourth quarter. Gurman also reported Apple is preparing a leasing option under its hardware subscription effort and dropped an internal iCloud pre-loading feature over privacy concerns, even as the company explores longer-term Apple Watch redesigns including circular and screen-free concepts; this fall's watch models are still expected to focus on processor, color, and fitness upgrades rather than a new look.
