Apple has announced the date of its next big event: September 9th, 2024, at 1PM ET / 10AM PT. The event, which has the tagline "Awe dropping." will take place at the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park. This is where we're expecting to hear more about the iPhone 17 lineup, which reportedly adds a Google Pixel-like camera bar on the rear.
Bloomberg tells us that the foldable iPhone (V68, apparently) will be similar in look to Samsung's Z-Fold smartphones, opening out into a small tablet. The latest report claims it will have four cameras (so you can FaceTime in any configuration), will use an eSIM for network connectivity, and might use Touch ID rather than Face ID. The device, which will probably also use an Apple modem, is now scheduled for introduction in Fall 2026.
The update introduces Apple Intelligence, significantly impacting frontend development and UX design by enhancing user experience through intelligent recommendations and streamlined workflows.
