The Foldable iPhone as Apple Turns the Page: John Ternus Faces His First Big Test as CEO

The device could start at $2,000 and mark Apple’s first major product test under new chief executive John Ternus.

  • On Wednesday, Apple will hold its annual hardware event in Cupertino, California, where it is expected to reveal a long-awaited foldable iPhone, currently rumored to be called the iPhone Ultra.
  • This event marks the first major presentation under new CEO John Ternus, who succeeded Tim Cook on September 1. Ternus promised the unveiling would be "phenomenal" in an email to staff last week.
  • The device, starting at $2,000, faces competition from Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold. IDC research associate Kiranjeet Kaur told AFP that Apple's entry is "very likely to shift the competitive dynamics" in global markets.
  • Apple may also launch a 7-inch smart home hub device, Bloomberg reported, alongside new products featuring an AI-powered version of Siri amid a supply chain crunch pushing prices higher.
  • The foldable device serves as a critical test for Apple, which has not launched a breakout hit since the AirPods 10 years ago, as smartphone shipments are projected to decline more than 16 percent this year.
