Despite the event’s name suggesting surprises, there are few unexpected elements anticipated, thanks to numerous leaks prior to the launch.
We are aware of the products expected to be introduced, their specifications, and have a reasonable understanding of their pricing.
One of the remaining mysteries was the name of Apple’s first foldable iPhone. Initially thought to be called the iPhone Fold and later the iPhone Ultra, it was revealed today by Mark Gurman in a Bloomberg article that it will be named the iPhone Duo.
Furthermore, new CEO John Ternus contributed to the excitement with a post on X, featuring a looping video of a wide beam of light focusing into a spotlight.
We speculate that this may hint at the introduction of variable aperture technology in the upcoming iPhone models.
This advancement will enable the iPhone camera to adjust the size of the aperture that allows light to reach the sensor. Unlike most smartphones with a fixed aperture that rely on software to handle varying light conditions, this feature would elevate the iPhone to DSLR levels, providing users with true control over exposure and focus. For the first time, iPhone users could capture professional-quality images.
