8 Apple products expected to be unveiled next month
Apple is gearing up for what could be its biggest September event ever. Alongside new CEO John Ternus taking to the stage, we could see up to eight new devices unveiled.
These would span phones, wearables and smart home devices tied to the new AI-powered Siri. Alongside the standard upgrades to the iPhone and Apple Watch, we're expecting the long-awaited debut of Apple's first foldable — the so-called iPhone Ultra.

iPhone Ultra will have 'extremely limited' availability
The iPhone Ultra is expected to cost over $2,000, and yet Apple's first foldable phone could be in such high demand that there is very little supply at first. A notable leaker says that availability for the folding iPhone will be "extremely limited." This is with Apple targeting a production run as high as 10 million units. Also, there's last-minute debate over what Apple will call this thing. My money is on iPhone Ultra and not iPhone Fold.
Did Google just leak its next Fitbit wearable?
Google may have inadvertently leaked its next Fitbit tracker. Reddit users are posting screengrabs of Pixel 11 adverts appearing on YouTube that also show a small wearable that definitely isn't the Pixel Watch 5 that launched alongside the phones last week.
Fresh from the success of the Fitbit Air and with the Fitbit Charge 6 now two years old, this could easily be our first look at a Fitbit Charge 7 or possibly even a brand-new screen-equipped tracker from Google.
