Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) "Surprise and shine" teaser for its Sept. 9 event has sparked fresh iPhone 18 Pro speculation, with Mark Gurman reading possible clues to a mechanical camera aperture and a new blue finish.
Apple Sept. 9 Event: What to Expect
On Wednesday, Apple confirmed that its "Surprise and shine" event will begin at 10 a.m. PT on Sept. 9, with the presentation expected to take place at Apple Park and stream online.
The event will be particularly significant because John Ternus will succeed Tim Cook as CEO on Sept. 1.
While Apple did not reveal what the visual means, Gurman offered his interpretation on X, suggesting that the shining light could represent a mechanical aperture coming to the iPhone 18 Pro Max, while the sky-blue coloring could point to a new iPhone 18 Pro color.
