John Ternus takes over as Apple CEO and faces a high-stakes September 9 launch featuring the foldable iPhone and the iPhone 18 Pro, amid anticipated price increases driven by rising memory costs. Analysts say the new leadership will have to balance a hardware-heavy roadmap with AI and services, while investors weigh how Apple can execute at scale and sustain margins as foldables enter the premium price band.

Apple is set to unveil its first foldable iPhone Duo priced around $2000 at the September 9 event, with support for the Apple Pencil stylus as reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
