A federal jury in San Diego has ordered Apple to pay $5.72 billion to Taction Technology for infringing patents related to haptic feedback in iPhones and Apple Watches.

On September 9, Apple will hold its "Surprise and shine" keynote for the first time under the leadership of new CEO John Ternus. The main event will be the announcement of the foldable iPhone Ultra, as well as the iPhone 18 Pro and new Apple Watch.

In 2026, Apple removed the iPhone 16e, first-generation AirTag, and M4-chip MacBook from official sales, closed the Mac Pro line, and watchOS 27 stripped several generations of Apple Watch of updates.

Apple tested a shorter, thicker Apple Pencil than the standard model for its foldable iPhone with magnetic attachment to the side edge, but the accessory's release is in doubt due to the risk of damaging the flexible screen. The final verdict is expected on September 9.

Apple has confirmed the date of its autumn event 'Surprise and shine' — September 9. The focus is expected to be on the first foldable iPhone Ultra, the iPhone 18 Pro lineup and new Apple Watch, while the base models have been postponed.
