Apple announces September iPhone launch event

苹果宣布将于九月举行 iPhone 发布会

Apple is gearing up to announce some new gadgets. 苹果公司正准备发布一些新设备。

Apple’s next launch event will take place on September 9th at 1PM ET. Invites to the event, which has a “Surprise and shine” tagline, were sent out on Wednesday. The event will take place at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park, but there will also be a livestream on Apple’s website. 苹果的下一场发布会将于美国东部时间 9 月 9 日下午 1 点举行。此次活动的邀请函已于周三发出，主题口号为“Surprise and shine”（惊喜与闪耀）。发布会将在苹果园区（Apple Park）的史蒂夫·乔布斯剧院举行，届时苹果官网也将提供直播。

September’s show could be a big one, as Apple may finally announce the long-rumored foldable iPhone. A photo of an apparent dummy unit indicates the foldable may have a wide form factor that’s similar to what Samsung used with the Galaxy Z Fold 8, a phone that our reviewer Dominic Preston said “feels like the future.” 九月的发布会可能会是一场重头戏，因为苹果或许终于要发布传闻已久的折叠屏 iPhone。一张疑似模型机的照片显示，这款折叠屏手机可能采用与三星 Galaxy Z Fold 8 类似的宽屏设计，我们的评测员多米尼克·普雷斯顿（Dominic Preston）曾评价该手机“感觉像是未来”。

Apple is also expected to refresh its Pro and Pro Max phones, but those are rumored to be iterative upgrades and not a big redesign like Apple announced last year. Should past trends continue, they’ll likely be called the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. 预计苹果还将更新其 Pro 和 Pro Max 系列手机，但据传这些机型仅为迭代升级，而非像去年那样进行重大重新设计。如果延续以往的命名惯例，它们很可能被称为 iPhone 18 Pro 和 iPhone 18 Pro Max。

However Apple reportedly won’t announce the base model iPhone 18 at the event and instead introduce it next year. In 2027, Apple is also rumored to be launching an iPhone 18e and a second-generation iPhone Air. 然而据报道，苹果不会在此次活动中发布基础款 iPhone 18，而是将其推迟到明年推出。此外，有传言称苹果还将在 2027 年发布 iPhone 18e 和第二代 iPhone Air。

This event will also be the first with John Ternus as Apple’s CEO. Formerly the company’s hardware chief, Ternus is set to take over from Tim Cook on September 1st. 此次发布会也将是约翰·特努斯（John Ternus）担任苹果首席执行官后的首场活动。特努斯此前担任公司硬件主管，他将于 9 月 1 日正式接替蒂姆·库克（Tim Cook）。
