Apple is giving its U.S. retail store workers a chance to work behind the scenes at its upcoming September iPhone event. Selected Apple Store workers will help manage crowds, organize lines, check in guests, and support security during the presentation. The iPhone maker told staff the event will take place during the first half of September. So we’re pretty much on par here, if the iPhone 18 event date comes true (and it likely will). Apple is expected to reveal its first foldable iPhone (which will come with a huge price tag), along with the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and refreshed Apple Watch models.
