Reports indicate that Apple's top Israeli executive, Johny Srouji, nearly departed the company last year before being elevated to Chief Hardware Officer. However, industry analysts suggest he may still seek new challenges outside Apple.

Apple CEO John Ternus leads his first annual launch event at Apple Park in Cupertino, where the tech giant is expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone Ultra, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro series and Apple Watch Series 12.

According to a new report, the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 will focus on performance upgrades, new chips, and improvements in health and fitness features. A major design overhaul is likely at least a year away.
