Key Facts
- Fact 1: He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme.
- Fact 2: Apple’s next launch event will take place on September 9th at 1PM ET.
- Fact 3: A photo of a 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.” 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.
- Fact 4: Should past trends continue, they’ll likely be called the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
