Apple is set to host its annual iPhone event on September 9, where it will unveil four new iPhones, including a tenth-anniversary Apple Watch and new AirPods. The spotlight will also be on the launch of its Apple Intelligence AI platform, which promises advancements in summarizing messages and emails and upgrades to Siri. While new hardware is expected to be modest, analysts predict that the new AI capabilities could stimulate a new sales cycle for iPhones as users look to upgrading. The Apple Watch will celebrate its anniversary with a redesign, and AirPods will receive updates as well.
