Apple's upcoming fall keynote is set to spotlight the company's next wave of devices, and readers are already weighing in on what may arrive first. The most anticipated lineup includes the iPhone 18 Pro, the Apple Watch Series 12, and Apple's first foldable model, the iPhone Ultra.
What readers expect first
In a recent prediction poll, nearly half of respondents said Apple will open with iPhone news. A smaller share expects the Apple Watch to lead the presentation, while others believe Macs or AirPods could take the stage before the headline products.
John Ternus takes the spotlight
This event will also mark a new chapter for Apple's leadership. With John Ternus now guiding the keynote, readers are split on whether executive chair Tim Cook will appear. Slightly more than half think Cook will make a brief appearance, possibly to symbolically hand over the spotlight.
Interest builds around the foldable iPhone
The foldable iPhone Ultra is drawing the strongest attention. Readers expect preorders to begin soon, with many predicting availability this month or in October. Its premium positioning and fresh form factor make it one of the most closely watched devices in Apple's lineup.
How long will the keynote run?
Most readers believe the presentation will last between 90 and 120 minutes, reflecting Apple's tradition of polished, detail-rich launch events. Others expect a slightly shorter format, though a longer showcase remains possible if Apple gives the foldable model extra time.
Will "One More Thing" return?
Apple's classic closing phrase still carries cultural weight, and many readers think Ternus may revive it for a final surprise. If it returns, it could help define the tone of Apple's new era while keeping the event memorable.
Whatever Apple unveils, the keynote may signal how the company balances familiar design language with a more ambitious hardware future.
