Apple Gears Up for a Gold‑Gleam Surprise
Apple Inc. has thrown a little teaser into the air, announcing on Thursday (August 31) that it will be holding a launch party on September 12 at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino. From the inside scoop, the most-anticipated bombs of the evening are the new iPhone models – expectations are high, excitement is louder, and rumors are dancing around the world like confetti.
What the Heat‑Waves Predict
- Three new smartphones this year, likely to include a larger display that will make the current screens feel small.
- An iPhone with an edge‑to‑edge L{“}$CD screen that rivals the iPhone X but costs less, aiming to keep the elegance while breaking the bank.
- A gold‑colored iPhone X successor, hinted by the event invite’s splash of glittering gold.
Why gold, you ask? Because Apple had already secured FCC approval for a gold version of the iPhone X back in the days when silver and gray were the fashion. The colour never hit the shelves, but the speculations stole the show.
Gold Rush Revealed
Shortly after the announcement, tech news site 9to5Mac dropped photos of two gold iPhone models stacked on each other – one with a bigger screen on the bottom. The pictures looked so real they sparked a wave of chatter on social media, suggesting the new flagship would be named the iPhone XS. Alongside that, Apple plans a larger‑display Apple Watch by trimming its edges.
9to5Mac told Reuters that the images weren’t just mock‑ups but real shots of the products Apple is preparing to unveil. They kept their source under wraps, and Apple remained silent on the authenticity of the photos.
Stock Performance & Future Teasers
Apple shares climbed 2.2 % to a record high of $227.97 (S$311.84). Traditionally, Apple drops new iPhones in the second week of September, often followed by updated Apple Watches and other gear. The January 2021 iPhone X already set the bar high, with its $999 starting price letting the company smash Wall Street expectations.
Value Talk with Warren Buffett
Financial guru Warren Buffett was not shy about talking big on CNBC: “The iPhone is enormously underpriced even at $1,000,” he said. “When it comes to everyday life, it’s practically a necessity.
