A day of wire traffic, sorted. Apple took the consumer slot, but the money moved in orbit, in private credit, and in defense. Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo, the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 12 with an all-new Health Sensing System, Apple Watch Ultra 4, and AirPods 5. Six product releases inside forty minutes, which is a lot even by Apple’s standards. The Watch line carries the interesting claim: Apple says Series 12 delivers the most accurate heart rate sensing in a wearable, and it’s pairing that sensor work with Apple Intelligence for health and fitness.

Apple folded a phone and raised prices across the board. Underneath that, a memory startup came out of stealth with half a billion dollars and a claim that should worry a few people in Hsinchu. Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo, its first foldable, at $1,999 for 256GB and $3,199 for 2TB. A 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner one, with Touch ID, Apple Pencil support, and an iOS 27 rebuilt around multitasking that adjusts to screen size and orientation.
