“Widow’s Bay” earned the most wins of any program on night two of the 78th Emmy Awards.

Apple TV leads as the most-awarded network after the second night of the 78th Emmy Awards and tops the weekend with a record 20 wins, including breakout sensation “Widow’s Bay” earning the most wins of any program with eight, alongside “Pluribus,” “Margo’s Got Money Troubles,” “Palm Royale” and “Mr. Scorsese.” The winners were announced Sunday night by the Television Academy, and additional categories will be unveiled at the Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony on Monday, September 14, 2026.

On the heels of its celebrated first season, Outstanding Comedy nominee “Widow’s Bay” lands eight wins, including Outstanding Guest Actress Betty Gilpin, alongside Outstanding Production Design for a Narrative Program (Half-Hour); Outstanding Casting for a Comedy Series; Outstanding Cinematography for a Series (Half-Hour); Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Original Dramatic Score); Outstanding Music Supervision; Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series (Half-Hour) and Animation; and Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (Half-Hour) and Animation. The series is also nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor for star and executive producer Matthew Rhys, alongside Outstanding Supporting nominations for Kate O’Flynn, Dale Dickey and Stephen Root, as well as Outstanding Directing and Outstanding Writing.

Celebrated Apple Original “Shrinking” landed 10 nominations, “Slow Horses” was recognized with nine nominations, and “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” scored eight nominations in total.

Apple TV libera trailer do documentário “K2 – O Desafio Final”

✇MacMagazine

10 September 2026 at 15:30

O Apple TV lançou hoje o trailer oficial de “K2 — O Desafio Final” (“The Last First: Winter K2”), aclamado documentário do diretor Amir Bar-Lev que tem como foco o monte K2, o segundo mais alto do mundo.

O doc se concentra em uma expedição de 2021, quando Ali e Sajid Sadpara (pai e filho) e John Snorri Sigurjónsson partiram na missão de serem os primeiros a alcançar o cume do K2 no inverno, quando as condições da montanha são mais cruéis.

Segundo a Apple, o documentário revelará uma história “surpreendente e multifacetada” nas alturas geladas e no clima imprevisível do K2 — tudo em um ambiente que requer estratégia e determinação, em circunstâncias de vida ou morte.

Confira o trailer:

O documentário é produzido por Bar-Lev, Sean Richard, Sarah Thomson, John Battsek, Ben Silverman e Howard T. Owens. Já os produtores executivos são Drew Buckley, James Packer, Will Kane, Taylor Levin, Kerstin Emhoff e Ali Brown.

Com edição de Joe Carey, direção de fotografia de Will Pugh e trilha sonora composta por Tom Hodge, o longa será disponibilizado no catálogo do Apple TV em 2 de outubro.

O Apple TV está disponível no aplicativo Apple TV em mais de 100 países e regiões, seja em iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs, Macs, dispositivos Android, smart TVs ou online — além de também estar em aparelhos como Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast com Google TV, consoles PlayStation e Xbox. O serviço custa R$34,90 por mês, com um período de teste gratuito de 7 dias. Por tempo limitado, quem comprar e ativar um novo iPhone, iPad, Apple TV ou Mac ganha 3 meses do Apple TV. Ele também faz parte do pacote de assinaturas da empresa, o Apple One.

Last Seen is the 'gripping' new thriller now streaming on Apple TV — and one star teases emotional storyline is 'heading somewhere you won't have anticipated'

✇Techradar
By: jasmine.valentine@futurenet.com (Jasmine Valentine) · Jasmine Valentine

If you really know your stuff about streaming services, you'll know that Apple TV is the home of consistently high-quality content — and its new Australian thriller Last Seen is no exception.

Based on Ryan David Jahn's novel The Dispatcher, we follow emergency dispatcher — and secret alcoholic — Ian Ridley (Patrick Brammall), who receives a call about a body found near his home. He thinks it may be his daughter, who went missing 11 years ago.

For those who have already read the book, there are a few big changes for its TV adaptation: most notably, that it's now set Down Under, not in Texas. Even so, a seemingly never-ending web of twists and turns is still set to unfold.

With the first two episodes of Last Seen now streaming, the remaining four episodes will drop on a weekly basis until October 7. And, according to Brammall, we're really not prepared for what's coming.

'Nothing is black and white'

"Ian is not a hero," Brammall exclusively told me about his character in the Apple TV Original. "His focus on paper is an altruistic one, but it's also mixed with hope, guilt, [and] everybody he's failed. There's a lot of collateral damage.

"Conversely, when we first see Sarah (Chloe Jean Lourdes), she's happy. Nothing's black and white. As the series goes on, you can sort of see that Ian and Henry (Brendan Cowell) are two sides of the same coin."

By the time episode 2 ends, which is where we're currently up to, this doesn't exactly feel like the case. Henry feels like an elusive villain, having clearly held onto some deeply disturbing secrets for too long, and for reasons we don't quite yet understand.

"By the end, the agency is taken away from them both and given to Sarah," Brammall continued. "I think that's completely unexpected. The ending is something that you wouldn't necessarily have anticipated, and it's not the sort of ending you'd usually get in a crime drama, either. That's a testament to how multi-layered the show is."

Intriguing. In this day and age, we should probably consider it a luxury when a crime drama is able to surprise us. If Last Seen can really put its money where its mouth over the next few weeks, then we've genuinely got some unmissable TV on our hands.

A espera está chegando ao fim! Já estão disponíveis as versões Releases Candidate do iOS 27 (compilação 24A435), iPadOS 27 (idem), macOS Golden Gate 27 (26A5428), watchOS 27 (24R363), tvOS 27 (24J360) e visionOS 27 (24M362).

A Apple disponibiliza o acesso às versões beta para desenvolvedores gratuitamente, então usuários em geral não precisam necessariamente optar pelas betas públicas para instalar os novos sistemas — basta estar registrado como um desenvolvedor (com uma conta gratuita).

Como informado pela Maçã no evento especial de mais cedo, os novos sistemas serão disponibilizados na próxima segunda-feira (14 de setembro).

Como sempre, essas são as versões candidatas a serem lançadas para o público final, mas pode ser que mais versões sejam disponibilizadas até lá — caso a Apple encontre algum problema de última hora que precise ser resolvido.

Touchscreen MacBook, HomePad, Apple TV are coming, but probably not today

It’s “Surprise and Shine” day today! It’s been previously reported that Apple has a release schedule chock-full of products for the rest of this year. It starts today with new iPhones, AirPods, and Apple Watches.

What about the other rumored products, like the touchscreen MacBook, or the updated HomePod and the home hub? Well, before you shrug and exclaim, “That’s it?” at the end of today’s event, you should know that’s not it, according to a post by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

IF you don't see the Apple TV, HomePod mini, home display and touch MacBook today, don't worry. It's only September.

— Mark Gurman (@markgurman) September 9, 2026

If you’re not familiar with Gurman’s work, he has very good sources and his reporting tends to be spot on. Of all the people who report Apple leaks, he’s the most reliable. So while Gurman doesn’t directly say it, the touchscreen MacBook, HomePod mini, home hub (that he called “home display”), and Apple TV will be coming later this year.

Apple has held October and November releases before, so it’s not unprecedented. By the sound of his post, Gurman likely knows more about these releases, but he’s going to save reporting on those for later. After all, he has to save some surprises for his weekly newsletter so you’ll want to read it.

Those are products for another day. We have “Surprise and Shine” today, and you can track the event through the Macworld live blog, if you are unable to watch it.

Há também uma versão dublada em português do Brasil:

Recentemente, a Apple celebrou a estreia da série em Sydney (Austrália):

Já estão disponíveis os dois primeiros episódios da série. Os demais serão lançados semanalmente, sempre às quartas-feiras, até o dia 7 de outubro.

Every new Apple product coming in 2026 & 2027

✇Macworld
9 September 2026 at 10:56

Macworld

It’s already been a huge year for Apple, with a wave of new products arriving during the first eight months of 2026, including the MacBook Neo and iPhone 17e, and then the new Mac mini and Mac Studio.

But one of Apple’s biggest launches of the year is still to come – and it could happen today. Apple is holding its September 9 “Surprise and Shine” event, where it is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, new Apple Watches and, most significantly, its first foldable iPhone, recently rumored to be called the iPhone Duo.

There is plenty more on Apple’s roadmap beyond today’s event. New iPads and smart-home products could arrive later in 2026, while Apple is also believed to be preparing its first touchscreen MacBook Pro and smart glasses.

Alongside the new hardware, Apple is preparing the public release of iOS 27, macOS 27 and its other next-generation operating systems, bringing the major Siri AI overhaul first previewed at WWDC in June. Here’s everything Apple has launched in 2026 so far – and what we expect to come next.

What to expect from Apple in 2026

  • Biggest launches still to come: iPhone 18 Pro & Max and Apple’s first foldable iPhone are expected at today’s September 9 event, with the first touchscreen MacBook Pro potentially following later
  • Most meaningful upgrades: Apple’s first folding iPhone, first touchscreen MacBook Pro, OLED comes to more Apple devices, smaller Dynamic Island
  • Big leadership shift: John Ternus has replaced Tim Cook as CEO as of September 1, 2026
  • Biggest software upgrades: iOS 27, macOS 27, major Siri/Apple Intelligence upgrade and deeper system-wide AI integration

Apple’s roadmap for 2026: At a glance

In the fall of 2026, Apple’s roadmap will come under the direction of CEO John Ternus. Former CEO Tim Cook has moved into the executive chairman role. The shift from an operations-focused leader to one with deep hardware engineering roots could signal a more product-driven approach – and a renewed emphasis on standout hardware. Ternus takes over as CEO just as Apple is reportedly preparing a major Siri overhaul, alongside potential launches including its first touchscreen MacBook and the iPhone 18 Pro.

Read on to find out what new products to expect at Apple’s next event and throughout 2026.

Every New Apple Product Launching in 2026

In the sections below we’ve split the upcoming new products into categories including Mac, iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, Home, AirPods, and some new product categories.

Apple Intelligence, Siri and AI

iOS 27 and macOS 27 Golden Gate, will introduce a massive overhaul to Siri and expanded Apple Intelligence capabilities.

The All-New Siri AI

The most significant update is the transformation of Siri into Siri AI, a conversational assistant powered by Apple Intelligence.

Key Siri AI features coming later in 2026 include:

  • Onscreen Awareness: Siri will understand and interact with what is displayed on your screen. For example, if a friend texts you an address, you can ask Siri to save it to a contact without leaving the app.
  • Dedicated Siri App: A new standalone app will allow you to revisit previous conversations, pin important chats, and sync history across all Apple devices via iCloud.
  • App Actions: Siri will be able to perform tasks within apps using natural language, such as editing a recently sent message or adding a song to a specific playlist.
  • Visual Intelligence: On iPhone, a new Siri mode in the Camera app will allow users to point their phone at objects to ask questions or perform actions based on what they see. On Mac, users can select onscreen content to ask Siri questions about images or documents.
  • Voice Customization: Users can personalize Siri with more natural voices and adjust the pace and expressiveness of the speech. This feature requires a M3 Mac with 12GB RAM or newer, or iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone Air and newer.

Apple Intelligence Across Apps

Beyond Siri, Apple Intelligence is being integrated system-wide to automate tasks and enhance productivity. Apple Intelligence will play a larger role across the iPhone, iPad, Mac, smart home devices, and future product categories.

Major updates include:

  • Safari Productivity: The browser will automatically group tabs into topics, monitor pages for changes (like price drops) with a “Notify Me” feature, and even build custom extensions based on natural-language descriptions.
  • Smarter Photo Editing: New tools include Spatial Reframing to improve composition after a photo is taken, an Extend tool to fill in missing areas when straightening horizons, and an upgraded Clean Up tool for removing distractions.
  • Writing Tools and Communication: Mail and Messages will gain smarter replies that mimic a user’s writing style . System-wide Writing Tools will generate text from scratch, rewrite drafts, and adapt tone to match specific contacts.
  • Image Playground: This tool has been revamped with better language models to create more natural-looking photorealistic images. It also allows users to create custom wallpapers on iOS 27.
  • Intelligent Automation: The Shortcuts app will feature a “Describe a Shortcut” ability, allowing users to create complex automations simply by explaining what they want in plain English.

What new iPhones are coming in 2026 (and should you wait)?

Foundry

Based on current industry analysis and supply chain information, Apple has some significant changes planned for the iPhone in 2026, with an iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max and the introduction of a foldable iPhone expected alongside the release of iOS 27.

iPhone 18 Pro & Pro Max

  • September 9, 2026 update expected at event

The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to launch on September 9, 2026. The iPhone 18 Pro is rumored to be the first to use Apple’s own C2 modem instead of Qualcomm’s. The base model may see a RAM increase to 12GB to better support on-device AI functions. A major redesign is expected, which could include a new Dark Cherry color, some under-display Face ID components and a smaller Dynamic Island, and the front camera could move to the upper-left corner of the display. Read about the iPhone 18 Pro here: iPhone 18 Pro rumors.

Foldable iPhone

  • September 9, 2026 introduction expected at event

After years of rumors, Apple’s first foldable phone, potentially named the iPhone Duo or the iPhone Ultra, is expected to debut on September 9 2026 alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models. It is expected to be a book-style foldable with a 7.8-inch inner display. Read more here: Apple’s folding iPhone rumors.

iPhone 18

  • Spring 2027 launch expected

Reports suggest that Apple could delay the iPhone 18 and release that handset alongside the iPhone 18e in the spring of 2027.

Should you buy now or wait?

With prices expected to rise, buying an iPhone 17 Pro this summer was not the bad idea it would normally be, so if you bought one recently then don’t despair, you probably saved some money.

With the iPhone 18 launch not expected until the spring, now is a good time to buy an iPhone 17. Read: When is the best time to buy an iPhone.

What new iPads are coming in 2026 (and should you wait)?

Don’t expect major redesigns for the iPads this year. Instead, Apple is likely to focus on faster chips and other internal upgrades. That said, both the iPad and iPad mini are due for an update – particularly the entry-level iPad, which currently lacks support for Apple Intelligence. Here’s what we expect Apple to announce:

iPad mini

  • Late 2026 update possible

The current iPad mini (A17 Pro) was released in October 2024, and Apple’s update cycle for this model is generally infrequent. Based on current reports and analysis, the next significant update to the iPad mini is not expected until late 2026, with some speculation pointing toward 2027.

One rumored upgrade for the 2026 iPad mini is the transition to an OLED display, which could reduce manufacturing costs and improve battery life. There is also the possibility of a slightly larger screen, with a move from the current 8.3- to 8.7-inches suggested. There is also speculation that a future foldable Apple device could potentially replace the iPad mini line entirely, though this remains uncertain.

Internal code leaks suggest the future iPad mini could be upgraded to an A19 Pro chip, which would provide a significant performance boost over the current A17 Pro. An A18 Pro chip upgrade is also possible. Read our round up of iPad mini rumors.

iPad

  • Late 2026 update possible

When the standard iPad was updated in March 11, 2025, the biggest disappointment was that it featured a A16 chip and therefore didn’t support Apple Intelligence. Apple looks set to rectify that in 2026 with an upgrade to the A18 or A19 chip, with the latter offering 50% better performance. The release timeline for an iPad with an A18 or A19 chip is anticipated before the end of 2026, in fact, Apple code suggests the company may be planning an update sooner-rather-than-later.

Read more about the 2026 iPad in our rumor round up.

Should you buy now or wait?

With the iPad prices increasing in June you may want to hold off buying one now. If you are going to pay more at least get the most up-to-date model, or buy from Apple’s Refurbished Store to get a bargain. Read Should I buy an iPad now or wait?

Which Macs are worth waiting for in 2026?

2026 is expected to be a significant year for the Mac, with Apple’s first touchscreen Mac rumored as part of a MacBook Pro redesign. March 3 saw the launch of the M5 MacBook Air and M5 Pro/M5 Max MacBook Pro and March 4 saw Apple introduce a new entry-level laptop – the $599 MacBook Neo.

The long expected Mac Studio and Mac mini updates came in August 2026 and go on sale September 22, although some high-memory Mac Studio configurations won’t arrive until later. These Macs have become popular for running AI models locally; however, global RAM shortages – driven by AI companies purchasing large amounts of memory for data centres – have been having a knock-on effect on availability during 2026 and these RAM shortages have also had an effect on prices, with Mac prices increasing by $300 to $500 in June and in the case of the Mac mini, by a further $100 with the 2026 lannch.

One Mac that won’t be getting an update is the long-neglected Mac Pro. Apple has confirmed that the Mac Pro will be discontinued in favor of the Mac Studio.

There are rumors that the MacBook Pro will get a redesign including notch-free OLED touchscreen, potential 5G connectivity and a thinner body. At one point it was expected that this new MacBook Pro would feature M6 Pro and Max chips, but the latest indications are that Apple will use M5 Pro and M5 Max chips instead in an effort to keep the project on schedule.

Read the rumors about the M6 MacBook Pro with a touch screen.

iMac

  • Unlikely 2026 update

The current M4 iMac was released in October 2024, so an M5 update might seem timely and could be released alongside other potential M5 Mac updates.

The current iMac design was introduced in 2021 and is not expected to change soon. It is still considered fresh, and its components are not outdated. However, there are calls for Apple to introduce a larger screened iMac, something that has been missed since Apple discontinued the 27-inch model. Many feel that the 24-inch screen is too small. Read about the larger iMac rumors.

Should you buy now or wait?

With the prices of Macs increasing in June due to the global RAM shortages you may want to hold off buying one now. If you are going to pay more at least get the most up-to-date model, or buy from Apple’s Refurbished Store to get a bargain. Read the following for more guidance:

Upcoming Apple Watches in 2026

Like clockwork, expect a new Apple Watch in September.

Mahmoud Itani / Foundry

Apple updated all the Apple Watches in September 2025. Launching the Apple Watch Series 11 a new Apple Watch Ultra and a new Apple Watch SE. In 2026 the Apple Watch Series 12 and a new Apple Watch Ultra 4 are expected.

With the Apple Watch rather than hardware changes the real interest tends to be the health and fitness related features. The following capabilities are expected in future iterations:

  • Non-invasive blood glucose monitoring: This has been a long-rumored feature for the Apple Watch, but it is still considered to be a few years away with the technology unlikely to be ready for a 2026 release.
  • AI-Powered Health and Fitness Coach: Apple has long been rumored to be working on a sophisticated AI coach. Recent reports from early 2026 suggest this project was “scaled back” to allow individual AI-driven features to ship sooner rather than waiting for a complete overhaul.
  • Health+ Service Overhaul: There are ongoing rumors regarding a new service tier called “Health+” that would expand upon Fitness+. This service might integrate new AI-powered health features into a single subscription, potentially bundled with hardware purchases.
  • Daily Readiness and Stress Tracking: Unlike competitors such as the Oura Ring 4 or Garmin, the Apple Watch currently lacks a “daily readiness” score or native stress tracking. Experts suggest these are obvious areas for future software or hardware updates.

Other new features could include Touch ID integration and microLED displays reaching 4,000 nits brightness. A thinner case, magnetic bands, and enhanced AI capabilities could also be on the cards.

If you have an older Apple Watch and are wondering whether to upgrade, this could be a good time as with watchOS 27 the compatibility list is smaller than ever and only the Watch SE 3, Series 9, 10 and 11, Apple Watch Ultra 2 and 3 – and the new models – will be compatible.

Apple Watch Ultra 4

  • September 9, 2026 update expected at event

Expected to be a relatively modest update, with a faster S-series chip, improved health and fitness tracking and possibly better battery life, but no major redesign. Read more: Apple Watch 2026 updates. 

Apple Watch Series 12

  • September 9, 2026 update expected at event

Rumored to bring a new S-series processor, longer battery life, enhanced health monitoring and possibly a ceramic finish, while retaining the familiar Series 11 design.

Should you buy now or wait?

If you need an Apple Watch today, the SE 3 is the safest buy, while the Series 11 and Ultra 3 are worth waiting on with new models expected in September. Waiting could bring new features, lower prices on current models, or both, making it the smarter choice for most buyers. Read more: Should I buy an Apple Watch now or wait?

Upcoming AirPods

According to a brief update in Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter for Bloomberg in August, Apple is aiming to launch camera-equipped AirPods this fall.

The new earbuds are expected to resemble the upcoming AirPods Pro 3, although it’s not yet clear whether they will also include a heart rate sensor.

The cameras are said to include both visible-light and infrared sensors, but they reportedly won’t be designed for taking photos or recording video, as their placement and image quality would make them unsuitable for those tasks. Instead, the cameras are expected to enable AI-powered features, such as hand gesture recognition, adapting audio based on the surrounding environment, and detecting whether someone is speaking directly to you or simply talking nearby.

Upcoming Apple Home devices

Handoff between iPhone and HomePod mini

Mahmoud Itani / Foundry

Apple is expected to significantly expand its smart home ecosystem in 2026 and 2027 with new devices beyond its traditional Apple TV and HomePods.

Rumored products include a smart home hub that combines HomePod functionality with a touchscreen, an updated HomePod mini 2 and next-generation Apple TV are also expected.

This strategic push could help Apple catch up with competitors like Amazon and Google in the smart home market.

Apple’s push into the smart home market will be heavily reliant on a significantly improved Siri, which is expected to launch with iOS 27 and macOS 27 in the fall.

New and updated products are said to include:

HomePod mini 2

  • Fall 2026 introduction
HomePod mini with siri activated

Foundry

A new HomePod mini is said to be on the way with a faster processor that can take advantage of the new Siri AI.

HomePod 3

  • Fall 2026 introduction

A new HomePod with an updated chip is also expected.

Apple TV

  • Fall 2026 update

The current Apple TV isn’t compatible with Siri so an update is needed. Apple TV leaks indicate a rumoured Apple TV is on Apple’s roadmap and that the update will bring Apple Intelligence to the set top box.

New Smart Hub

  • Possible 2026 introduction

Multiple reports have suggested Apple will launch a smart home hub. Apple is said to be working on a number of HomeHub related products including a device said to mount a camera on a robot arm that can follow you around!

New Smart Display

  • Possible 2026 introduction

Also rumored is an iPad-like smart display that allows you to control your home devices via HomeOS software. This may come with both a speaker base and a wall mount.

HomePod Touch

  • Possible 2026 introduction

A new HomePod smart speaker with a screen is said to be coming. Read more here: New HomePod rumors.

Upcoming Vision devices, AR and spatial computing

Apple Smart Glasses

  • Possible 2026 introduction, 2027 launch

Unlike the bulky Vision Pro headset, the upcoming smart glasses from Apple are expected to follow a form factor similar to the Ray-Ban Meta glasses. This will be Apple’s first product built specifically for “Visual Intelligence.” It will likely handle tasks such as live translations, music playback, phone calls, and turn-by-turn directions. Apple could provide a first glimpse or “preview” of the glasses by the end of 2026.

Vision Pro

  • Possible 2027 update

Prior to 2026, Apple’s spatial computing strategy has focused on the high-end market, but reports indicate a more affordable version of the headset is in development. Apple has reportedly paused work on a successor to the high-end Vision Pro and will instead release a cheaper Vision Pro.

Apple Event 2026 live — new foldable iPhone Duo, AirPods 5, and more set to be announced

✇Techradar
By: axel.metz@futurenet.com (Axel Metz) · Axel Metz
9 September 2026 at 10:12

Apple's hotly anticipated ‘Surprise and Shine’ event is happening now, and we're on the ground in California bringing you all the big announcements as they happen.

Leading the list of rumored-to-be-unveiled products is Apple's first foldable iPhone — expected to be called either the iPhone Duo or iPhone Ultra — which, if it does arrive, would represent the biggest iPhone shake-up in recent history. This dual-screen device could also skyrocket the popularity of foldable phones more generally, so Samsung and Google executives are surely paying close attention.

Elsewhere, Apple looks set to refresh its wearable, earbud, and smart home lines with new Apple Watches, AirPods, and HomePods, respectively — and we may even see a new version of the Apple TV 4K, which hasn't been updated since 2022.

Proceedings kicked off at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST — or 3am AEST on September 10 if you're in Australia — and you can follow along below for our live reaction to new CEO John Ternus' first-ever Apple Event.

Apple Event 2026 — rumored announcements

  • Foldable iPhone Duo (or Ultra)
  • iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max
  • Apple Watch Series 12
  • Apple Watch Ultra 4
  • AirPods 5
  • Apple TV 4K (2026)
  • HomePod mini 2

Apple Event 2026 — how to watch

Today's ‘Surprise and Shine’ Apple event is taking place at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park, California, but you can follow along via the livestream video embedded above or via Apple’s official event page.

Proceedings kicked off at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST, which is 3am AEST on September 10 if you're in Australia, but you'll be able to re-watch the stream once the event finishes (we're expecting things to wrap up around 12pm PT / 3pm ET / 8pm BST, or 5am AEST in Australia).

Live updates

Good morning, folks! It's Apple Day — the most important date in the annual tech calendar and the busiest day of the year for the TechRadar office (sigh).

I'll be bringing you the latest iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch rumors ahead of the event's kick-off later today, and trust me: there's a lot to cover.

First, a quick reminder of what's happening: Apple's ‘Surprise and Shine’ event is scheduled to start at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST today (that's 3am AEST on September 10 if you're in Australia).

This is the 2026 edition of Apple's annual product showcase, and we're expecting to see as many as nine (yes, nine) new products unveiled.

Of those nine rumored products, the most hotly anticipated is Apple's first foldable iPhone, which we've been referring to as the 'iPhone Ultra' for close to a year now. But at the very last minute, the rumor mill has spat out an unexpected new name for this folding device...

Could the iPhone Ultra be the iPhone Duo?

According to seasoned Apple tipster Mark Gurman, the iPhone Ultra will in fact be called the iPhone Duo. It's pretty hard to believe that such a drastically different name has emerged just hours before the product itself is due to be unveiled — so we're still a tad skeptical about its authenticity — but Gurman has an excellent track record when it comes to Apple predictions.

Apple landed on the iPhone Duo name for the foldable iPhone and a $2,000 starting price, eating the additional memory costs. Storage capacities will reach 2 terabytes and roughly $3,000. It’ll ship in October, has support for the Apple Pencil and come in dark blue + white. https://t.co/58VLtVNka6September 9, 2026

Gurman adds in the same X post that the iPhone Duo will have a starting price of $2,000, rising to $3,000 for the 2TB model. And, yes, in case you were in any doubt: those numbers would make the Duo the most expensive iPhone of all time.

Another important note: Gurman says Apple's first foldable iPhone will have Apple Pencil support. Steve Jobs won't be happy...

Let's talk AirPods

Moving away from the iPhone for the moment, let's talk AirPods. Today, we're expecting Apple to announce two new AirPods models: the AirPods 5 without ANC (active noise cancellation), and AirPods 5 with ANC.

Both models are set to use Apple's new H3 chipset, which should improve audio processing and reduce latency, though it remains to be seen how different the AirPods 5 with ANC will be from the AirPods Pro, which already offer ANC.

In any case, we're not expecting to see any camera-equipped AirPods launch today, despite rumors suggesting that such a product is indeed in development.

Today might also be the day we finally get a successor to the HomePod mini. This smaller, more affordable version of the standard Apple HomePod (which now exists as the HomePod 2) was released way back in November 2020, but hasn't been updated since.

More than 20 (!) new iPhones have launched in that same period, so to say the HomePod mini 2 has been a long time coming would be an understatement.

Rumored upgrades for the HomePod mini include a faster chipset (duh!), superior audio quality, and Siri AI functionality.

A clear message from Samsung

A Samsung advertising board in Piccadilly Circus

If you walk around London, New York, or Seoul today, you may spot Samsung's new tongue-in-cheek advertising campaign, dubbed ‘Welcome to Foldables’.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 manufacturer is clearly hoping to remind people that it has spent a decade developing foldable technology, and that Apple — if it does release its first foldable today — is late to the party.

That said, Samsung isn't totally against Apple's late entry into the foldables market. Speaking to Bloomberg last year, Samsung's President and COO of the company’s Mobile eXperience (MX) division, Won-joon Choi, said: "I think healthy competition with other companies will bring more innovations, and then bring more benefits to consumers. So we are welcoming others to join this category, which we created back in 2019 [...] Having another global company join this category, I think it's good for the industry, and also, it's going to be great for consumers."

Don't forget about the iPhone 18 Pro

A quick word on the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, which will likely be the forgotten children of today's Apple Event while also being the best-selling Apple products of the next 12 months.

Gurman says both phones will have smaller, more functional Dynamic Islands, an upgraded vapor chamber (read: they won't get as hot), and "major" new camera hardware. Rumors suggest a variable aperture feature could be chief among this new hardware, which would make the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max some of the best camera phones around.

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will have a smaller and upgraded Dynamic Island that can support three tasks at once (up from two currently), major new pro camera hardware and software, plus an upgraded vapor chamber. https://t.co/58VLtVNka6September 9, 2026

Back to the iPhone Ultra/Duo/whatever you want to call it, let's talk about what features it reportedly won't have. According to various rumors, there's a chance Apple's first foldable will lack Face ID, a telephoto camera, MagSafe, the Action button, and a physical SIM card slot.

Now look, I can live without the Action button, a SIM card slot, and a telephoto camera, but no Face ID or MagSafe? I'm not sure I would spend $2,000 on an iPhone without those two features, which feel pretty essential to how I use my iPhone every day.

Thinking of selling your iPhone 17 Pro? Do so ASAP

Best iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max plans

Here's some last-minute advice for you: if you're planning on selling your current iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max to fund an upgrade to the iPhone 18 Pro line, you should head out to your local tech store and do so ASAP. Why? Because current iPhones could fall in value by up to 30% once the new models launch.

“Many people will make the mistake of waiting to see what new features the next iPhone range has before trading in their old device, but our data clearly shows that waiting just a few weeks could mean a significant hit on the amount customers can get for it," Joe Armstrong, Head of Trading at musicMagpie, tells TechRadar. "Those who wait until October may see handsets drop by an average of £48 and up to £122."

It's the same story in the US and Australia, and while Armstrong references October as the hard trade-in deadline, your absolute best bet is to sell your current iPhone before 12pm PT / 3pm ET / 8pm BST today.

Of course, selling before the iPhone 18 Pro has even been announced would leave you with no phone until the new models begin shipping later this month, but some retailers will allow you to lock in a sale price today and keep using your phone for a few more weeks. That's the ideal scenario during this precarious time of year for iPhone trade-in values.

First official look at the iPhone Ultra?

New Apple CEO John Ternus has just posted what appears to be a tease for one of the company's new iPhones on X. There's no Tim Cook-style "Good morning!" here, nor even a reminder of today's event start time. Instead, Ternus has shared a 14-second clip of a spotlight shining down on the corner of what looks like an iPhone. Is this a hint that the iPhone Ultra/Duo won't have four straight edges à la the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, or a reference to the rumored variable aperture feature on the iPhone 18 Pro?

The Apple Store is down

Oh, and the Apple Store website is now closed for maintenance, which typically happens right before the company refreshes its product lineup. Not long to go now!

Regarding Ternus' teaser post on X, some Apple fans are pretty convinced it refers to the iPhone 18 Pro's variable aperture, rather than the company's first foldable iPhone. Perhaps we'll get a second teaser video before the event kicks off at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST?

Pro phones to come to variable aperture!Notice how the light source widens up and then convergesJust a guess !September 9, 2026

In terms of what won't be unveiled today, we're not expecting Apple to announce new MacBooks, iPads, or Vision Pro-style VR hardware. Software upgrades will most likely take a backseat, too, after iOS 27, Siri AI, and WatchOS 27 were all announced at WWDC 2026 back in June (though it's worth noting that these new OS packages will almost certainly be released alongside their corresponding hardware products in September).

Lance has now been joined by Jacob Krol, TechRadar's US Managing Editor for News. Between them, they'll be bringing you hands-on impressions and videos of everything Apple is announcing today — including, we hope, the company's first foldable iPhone.

OK, I'm pretty sure I know what the winning response will be (it rhymes with "grindstone culture"), but cast your vote below for your most anticipated announcement from today's Apple Event:

Just two hours to go! A reminder that today's event kicks off at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST (or 3am AEST if you're in Australia, but if you're reading this from Sydney: go back to sleep).

Here's Lance and Jake on their predictions for today's event:

And here's part 2 of the pair's predictions:

The sun is out at Apple Park! Incidentally, it was raining cats and dogs during last year's event, so perhaps the universe is telling us we're in for a more exciting set of announcements in 2026.

Watch out for watches

The foldable iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro won't be the only stars of today's event: Apple Watches also look set to get an overhaul, starting with the Apple Watch Series 12.

Now, if you're expecting major design upgrades, prepare to be disappointed. According to the latest rumors, the Series 12 will look similar to its predecessor, the Apple Watch Series 11 — though one rumor does hint at ceramic case options, which would be a nice touch. We’ve also heard that the Series 12 could have a new LTPO display instead of the classic OLED, but we’re taking this claim with a pinch of salt.

For now, we’re expecting the biggest upgrades to come inside the watch. Specifically, the Series 12 is tipped to house Apple’s new S12 chipset, which should be powerful enough to support Siri AI, as well as a larger battery for a much-needed battery life boost.

Apple Watch Ultra 3

(Image credit: Apple)

The premium Apple Watch Ultra is also tipped to get another update today, but again, it won't necessarily look any different from the current model. Some speculate that the Watch Ultra 4 will be identical in appearance to the Watch Ultra 3, while others claim it will have a bigger screen and slimmer build.

Of course, the biggest updates will likely come under the hood, with the Watch Ultra 4 set to get a new chipset — a no-brainer given Siri AI’s imminent rollout — and a suite of new sensors for more accurate health tracking.

Look out for new health-tracking software

While both new Apple Watch models will almost certainly get hardware upgrades, Apple is also expected to unveil new wellbeing tracking tools for health-minded users. A new default Readiness app is expected to launch for the Apple Watch home screen, delivering a new and improved recovery experience for users — because what you do after a workout is just as important as the workout itself.

The Workout app could be getting an overdue facelift, too. The new version will reportedly let you record individual reps and sets for strength routines to help you keep track of your progress. I’ve been using my iPhone's Notes app in the gym for years, so this is one feature I’m hoping will make an appearance at today's event.

Another handy health tool we’re expecting to see unveiled is always-on heart rate data tracking, which will monitor your activity and recovery over 24 hours using only your heart rate. This sounds exciting, but given that only the Ultra 4 is expected to get new sensors, it’s likely that this feature will be exclusive to Apple's most premium wearable.

Just 45 minutes to go — Lance and co. are being ushered into the Steve Jobs Theater to take their seats.

The current foldable competition

Switching focus back to Apple's first foldable iPhone, there are currently three similarly sized devices available on the market right now: the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, the Xiaomi 18 Fold, and the Huawei Pura X Max.

The first of that trio is the big competition for the iPhone Duo/Ultra. The Z Fold 8 is available globally, and it's been well-received by reviewers and customers as a sturdy, pocket-friendly phone designed for content consumption above all else. Apple will surely ensure its foldable iPhone one-ups the Z Fold 8 in some way, but we're not sure how just yet. I'm banking on a less-visible crease or a superior camera array.

The Xiaomi 18 Fold and Huawei Pura X Max are only available in China, but both may look more similar in appearance to Apple's foldable iPhone than the Galaxy Z Fold 8. Both phones have two rounded corners when closed and four when open, while Samsung's phone is straight-edged whichever way you slice it.

Former (which feels weird to write) Apple CEO Tim Cook is in the building for new CEO John Ternus' first big Apple Event. A penny for his thoughts...

Two mins to go. Good luck, folks — I hope you get every foldable iPhone you wished for.

And we're off. We're getting a 'Shot on iPhone' sequence to kick things off (classic!). $10 says Craig Federighi appears before it finishes.

We're kicking off with... iPhone?! I wasn't expecting that. Ternus says the iPhone represents the perfect intersection between AI and hardware. Private Cloud Compute delivers "personal intelligence that's actually personal."

OK we really are getting straight into the new iPhones. I respect it!

First up is the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. "We made massive advancements in Intelligence, Performance, Battery, and Camera," Ternus says.

It comes in Black, Silver, Glacier, and Burgundy.

(Image credit: Apple)

The iPhone 18 Pro features Apple's most advanced foundation models, which, of course, unlock the full capabilities of Siri AI. We got a taste of Siri AI at WWDC 2026 earlier this year, but it now looks set to roll out properly on the 18 Pro, Pro Max, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air (other iPhones will get it, too, but the best version of the software will be locked to these top-end models).

The iPhone 18 Pro features the Expressive Voices feature in Siri AI for more accurate dictation and improved personalization.

We're getting a lot on Siri AI and Apple Intelligence here, but we heard most of this back in June. Let's hope we move onto the hardware upgrades soon...

Screenshot from Apple's September 2026 event

(Image credit: Apple)

OK, we're finally onto the hardware: the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max feature Apple's latest chipset, the A20. It's built on 2nm technology, and features a 6-core CPU (including 2 new super cores and 4 efficiency cores), a 7-core CPU (delivering a 40% increase in graphics performance), and two Neural Engines.

Its the "ultimate chip for running on-device AI models," Apple says.

Screenshot from Apple's September 2026 event

(Image credit: Apple)

The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max also feature a redesigned vapor chamber. It has three times the surface area as the one inside the iPhone 17 Pro, and features more thermally conducted graphite than before. It's much better at dissipating heat, basically (you'll supposedly get a 40% gain in sustained performance).

Screenshot from Apple's September 2026 event

(Image credit: Apple)

OK, onto the battery – the iPhone 18 Pro Max supposedly delivers the largest increase in battery life ever on an iPhone. You'll get 36 hours of video playback on the 18 Pro, and 45 hours on the Pro Max. As expected, Apple isn't sharing the specific mAh figures.

Apple “vaza” 37 identificadores de dispositivos na véspera do seu evento

A Apple parece estar preparando seus sistemas para a nova leva de produtos que será lançada em breve. A menos de 24 horas do evento “Surprise and shine” (“Surpreendente e brilhante”), a empresa adicionou nada menos que 37 novos identificadores de hardware ao seu backend, abrangendo iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watches e outros dispositivos.

A descoberta foi feita por Aaron Perris. No X, ele compartilhou todos os identificadores, sendo sete deles relacionados a iPhones.

A bunch of upcoming Apple device identifiers have been found on Apple’s backend. Interestingly, there are 7 iPhone models listed. We only know of 6.

Mac18,1
Mac18,2…

— Aaron (@aaronp613) September 8, 2026

O número chama atenção pois, até o momento, os rumores dão conta de seis modelos compondo a futura linha: “iPhone 18 Pro”, “iPhone 18 Pro Max” e “iPhone Ultra”, além dos “iPhone 18”, “iPhone Air 2” e “iPhone 18e” — os três últimos, segundo as notícias, só serão lançados no ano que vem.

Isso, porém, não significa necessariamente que a Apple esteja preparando um sétimo iPhone do qual nunca ouvimos falar. O identificador pode muito bem ser simplesmente uma variante de um dos modelos já esperados — como, por exemplo, uma configuração específica do “iPhone Ultra” destinada à China.

Além dos iPhones, a lista inclui nove identificadores de Macs, oito de iPads, nove de Apple Watches, um de Apple TV e três associados à categoria “HomeAccessory”, utilizada internamente pela Apple para produtos domésticos.

Lembrando que, no evento de amanhã, a Apple muito provavelmente lançará produtos como o “Apple Watch Series 12”, o “Apple Watch Ultra 4”, uma nova geração da Apple TV e, quem sabe, o aguardado hub inteligente para a casa — além dos iPhones, é claro. Novos Macs (como um iMac com chip M6 e a estreia dos “MacBooks Ultra”) e iPads (como o iPad mini com tela OLED), contudo, não são esperados para esta semana.

O elenco de “Disavowed”, vindouro thriller de ação do Apple TV, ganhou mais um nome de peso. Segundo o Deadline, a atriz Sylvia Hoeks — conhecida por seus papéis em “Parceiras no Crime” (“Ride or Die”) e “See” — é a mais nova contratada como membro regular do elenco.

Detalhes sobre a personagem de Hoeks na trama ainda não foram revelados.

Anunciada em maio, a série é estrelada por James Marsden e já havia somado Norman Reedus ao time em agosto. Em “Disavowed”, acompanharemos o lendário agente da CIA Brad Griffin (Marsden) logo após ser demitido abruptamente no meio de uma caçada global a um assassino responsável pela morte de um colega. Marginalizado no mundo da inteligência, o protagonista decide ir atrás da recompensa de US$15 milhões pelo assassino.

Hoeks é reconhecida internacionalmente por seu papel como Luv em “Blade Runner 2049” e também esteve no elenco de “See”, outra produção do Apple TV, como a Rainha Kane.

“Disavowed” é uma criação original e o primeiro projeto televisivo da dupla formada por Art Marcum e Matt Holloway. Eles também serão produtores executivos ao lado de Marsden, Tom Spezialy, Michelle MacLaren e Rebecca Hobbs. MacLaren, de “The Morning Show” e “Breaking Bad”, dirigirá os dois primeiros episódios.

A Blue Marble Pictures — responsável por “Pachinko” — produzirá a série em conjunto com o Apple Studios, com Theresa Kang e Caroline Garity também como produtoras executivas.

“Disavowed” ainda não possui uma data de estreia confirmada.

O Apple TV está disponível no aplicativo Apple TV em mais de 100 países e regiões, seja em iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs, Macs, dispositivos Android, smart TVs ou online — além de também estar em aparelhos como Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast com Google TV, consoles PlayStation e Xbox.

Apple TV eyes ‘Silo’ expansion as sets stay standing after season 4 wrap

“Silo” is an acclaimed Apple Original sci-fi drama only on Apple TV.
“Silo” is an acclaimed Apple Original sci-fi drama only on Apple TV.

Apple TV’s dystopian hit “Silo” is heading toward a planned conclusion, but the underground world may not be sealed off for good.

Season 3 wrapped its weekly run on September 4. The fourth and final season, already filmed, is scheduled to premiere July 9, 2027. Apple announced years ago that season 4 would complete Hugh Howey’s original trilogy of Wool, Shift, and Dust. Seasons 3 and 4 were shot back-to-back; production on the finale season ended in March.

On September 7, Apple TV reporter Sigmund Judge posted that the streamer is developing a follow-up project. According to Judge, the show would begin pre-production later this year and tie into Howey’s planned “Silo 40” book trilogy, which Judge said is expected next summer.

9to5Mac amplified the report, noting Apple’s pattern of expanding successful science-fiction worlds. The service has already launched “Star City” from the F”or All Mankind” universe and announced a series set in the “Monarch” universe. “Silo” has been one of Apple’s strongest original dramas, which makes a continuation commercially logical even after the main story ends.

Howey pushed back immediately. Replying to Judge, the author wrote: “Yo, this is news to me. So probably not true.” Apple has not confirmed any spin-off.

The physical evidence is harder to dismiss. Judge and 9to5Mac both point out that the “Silo” sets have not been torn down nearly six months after cameras stopped. Production lots usually clear standing sets quickly when a series is finished. Leaving them intact is consistent with plans to reuse them.

The source material already points in that direction. Howey has said for more than a year that he is writing another trilogy focused on Silo 40, one of the 50 bunkers in his books. That story would run from before the events of Wool through after Dust. In the novels, Silo 40 is the bunker that learned the truth earlier than most and tried to disappear from the system that monitors the others. It is mentioned, but never visited in the original trilogy.
‎
MacDailyNews Take: If Apple is quietly lining up the next chapter, it would follow the same playbook it used with “Silo” itself: lock in the conclusion of one story while keeping the world available for another. Season 4 is still the advertised ending of Juliette Nichols’ arc. Whether the standing sets are insurance, a coincidence, or the first visible sign of Silo 40 will become clearer once pre-production either starts or doesn’t later this year.

Patrick Brammall Takes a Dark Turn in Apple TV’s Last Seen

✇AppleMagazine

Patrick Brammall is heading into a much darker week on television. Following the Last Seen screening in Sydney, the Colin from Accounts star arrives on Apple TV as a father whose missing daughter has left his life suspended for more than a decade. The Australian thriller premieres September 9, bringing a very different kind of emotional discomfort from the romantic comedy that introduced him to many American viewers.

In Colin from Accounts, embarrassment can become an opening for affection. Last Seen gives Brammall a character with far less room to recover from a bad decision. Ian Ridley is a former detective, now working as a police dispatcher, who receives a call he believes could finally lead him back to his daughter.

The casting offers an immediate reason to be curious. Audiences familiar with Brammall’s comic timing will be watching him carry a story built around loss, uncertainty, and a hope that could become dangerous.

Patrick Brammall Finds a Personal Connection to Ian Ridley

Brammall has described drawing on fatherhood to understand the role. In an interview with Radio Times, he explained that being the father of two young daughters gave him access to an emotional vulnerability he could bring into the performance.

He did not need to imagine the story happening to his own children. Becoming a parent had already changed how available those feelings were to him.

“Ian is like a raw nerve,” he said.

That description gives a more precise sense of the character than the familiar image of a troubled detective. Ian’s professional experience may help him interpret a crisis, but his connection to this particular call makes distance almost impossible.

The challenge for a performance like this lies in keeping both sides believable. An audience needs to understand why Ian recognizes a possibility others might dismiss, while remaining alert to how much he wants that possibility to be true.

Brammall also credited his classical theater training and casting director Kirsty McGregor with helping him move between genres. The dramatic assignment draws on an established acting background, even if it surprises viewers who associate him most closely with comedy.

One Phone Call Reopens an Eleven-Year Absence

Maggie disappeared 11 years before the events of Last Seen. Ian has never accepted that she might be gone forever. When a teenage girl calls for help, he becomes convinced that he recognizes his daughter and begins pursuing the possibility of bringing her home.

The premise places an ordinary professional responsibility under extraordinary personal pressure. A dispatcher must listen carefully, gather information, and help someone through an emergency. Ian suddenly has to do that while confronting the possibility that the voice belongs to the person he has spent years hoping to find.

There is tension in the simple absence of a face. A voice offers clues without providing the certainty of seeing someone. Memory, fear, and recognition can arrive together, leaving very little time to sort one from another.

The emotional question extends beyond whether the caller is Maggie. Eleven years have passed for everyone involved. Even a reunion could not return the family to the day before she disappeared.

That gives the story room to explore the difference between finding someone and recovering the life that existed before their loss. It also gives Brammall something more complicated to play than determination alone: a man whose idea of rescue may be tied to a past that cannot be restored.

These are the tensions established by the premise. How the series resolves them remains part of the mystery awaiting viewers.

An Australian Production With a Substantial Supporting Cast

Last Seen adapts Ryan David Jahn’s novel The Dispatcher, with Kris Mrksa serving as writer and executive producer. The series is produced by 60Forty Films and was entirely set and filmed in Victoria, Australia.

The official cast and crew credits name Christian Schwochow as director and executive producer. Brammall is joined by Maxine Peake, Brendan Cowell, Daniel Henshall, Jessica Wren, Zahra Newman, Chloe Jean Lourdes, and Tobias Muhafidin. Executive producers also include Hakan Kousetta, Jamie Laurenson, and Joanna Werner.

For American audiences, the Australian setting gives the show an identity outside the familiar geography of U.S. police dramas. Victoria is the location of the story itself, allowing the adaptation to establish its own surroundings rather than asking local scenery to stand in for another country.

The ensemble also creates room for perspectives beyond Ian’s. A missing-person story can become claustrophobic when every event is filtered through a single person’s conviction. The dramatic interest comes partly from encountering people who have their own knowledge, loyalties, and reasons for responding differently.

Brammall carries the central search, but the relationships around him will determine whether that search feels convincing as a family story.

The Action Was a Physical Challenge

Last Seen also demanded action sequences, and Brammall has been candid about finding them harder at 50 than he once imagined.

Discussing the production with Radio Times, he credited a younger scene partner with taking on much of the physical work during an early confrontation. Asked about the possibility of doing more action, he offered a practical condition: “Give me the right stunt double and I’ll do it.”

His account brings a welcome human detail to the promotional image of a desperate father fighting his way toward an answer. Performing that desperation requires choreography, cooperation, and people prepared to absorb the physical demands of a scene.

For the character, physical vulnerability can be useful territory. Ian’s willingness to intervene does not necessarily mean he is equipped to control what follows. The possibility of getting hurt gives an impulsive decision consequences beyond moving the investigation forward.

When Last Seen Arrives in the U.S.

Apple’s official premiere announcement confirms that the first two episodes arrive together on Wednesday, September 9. The remaining four episodes follow weekly, with the sixth scheduled for October 7.

That gives the thriller a five-week release window. Viewers can begin with a substantial introduction to Ian’s situation, then follow the investigation one chapter at a time. Those who prefer watching a complete season can plan around the final episode’s arrival.

The U.S. Last Seen page provides access to the series through Apple TV. No familiarity with the source novel or Brammall’s previous work is needed to begin.

American viewers will have an unusually sharp contrast available the following day. Paramount+ has confirmed that the third and final season of Colin from Accounts arrives September 10, with all episodes released at once.

Brammall returns there alongside Harriet Dyer, his wife and fellow creator, writer, and star. Their comedy began with a car accident, an injured dog, and two strangers drawn into each other’s lives. Its farewell season places another set of complicated relationships on his schedule, with considerably more space for laughter between the difficult moments.

Six people stand together in front of a green backdrop with large white letters. Dressed in formal attire, with some smiling at the camera, they gather to celebrate the premiere of an exciting Australian thriller starring Patrick Brammall on Apple TV.

Silo Season 4 Premieres July 9, 2027 as the Final Chapter

✇AppleMagazine
By: Ivan Castilho
4 September 2026 at 23:42

Silo season 4 will premiere globally on July 9, 2027, giving the Apple TV science-fiction drama a firm date for its final descent into the mysteries surrounding Juliette Nichols and the underground society that shaped her life.

The announcement arrived immediately after the third-season finale, with Apple TV also releasing a two-minute sneak peek at the last chapter. Rebecca Ferguson returns as Juliette and remains an executive producer, while Graham Yost continues to oversee the adaptation of Hugh Howey’s bestselling trilogy.

Three complete seasons are already available to stream. Season four is designed to finish the story rather than leave the series waiting for another renewal, a rare advantage for a mystery built around questions that have been accumulating since its opening episode.

Silo Season 4 Has a Confirmed Release Date

Friday, July 9, 2027, is now the official premiere date for Silo season 4. Apple TV has not announced an episode count, a complete release schedule, or whether more than one episode will arrive on opening day.

The previous seasons used weekly releases, but that history should not be mistaken for confirmation of the final plan. The service can still decide how it wants to introduce the premiere and pace the remaining episodes closer to launch.

The timing creates a wait of a little more than 10 months after the third-season finale on September 4, 2026. That is long enough to build anticipation without sending the production into an indefinite gap.

It also gives new viewers a comfortable opportunity to catch up. The series began in May 2023 with an apparently contained mystery involving a community of 10,000 people living deep underground, protected from a world believed to be toxic. Each season has widened that mystery while keeping its emotional center with Juliette, the engineer whose refusal to accept convenient answers made her dangerous to the silo’s leadership.

Season three expanded the narrative across two periods. In the present, Juliette survived her forced cleaning and returned as the underground community faced the consequences of rebellion. The other story followed journalist Helen Drew, played by Jessica Henwick, and Congressman Daniel Keene, played by Ashley Zukerman, centuries earlier.

The fourth season must now bring those timelines into their final relationship without losing the human tension beneath the history.

The Ending Has Been Planned for Years

Silo season 4 being the final season is not a cancellation revealed after production had already moved in another direction.

Apple TV renewed the drama for seasons three and four in December 2024, while its second season was still being released. The service said at the time that the fourth chapter would complete the story contained in Howey’s trilogy.

That early commitment gave Yost and the writing team something mystery dramas rarely receive: a known destination and enough screen time to prepare the route toward it.

When the two-season renewal was announced, Yost said the adaptation would tell the complete story over four seasons. Ferguson also spoke about her desire to bring the full journey from the books to the screen.

Planning does not guarantee that every question will receive an individual explanation. It does mean the writers were able to build seasons three and four as connected parts of an ending, rather than producing a temporary finale that might need to serve as the last episode if another renewal failed to arrive.

That distinction suits Silo particularly well. The drama depends on controlled information. Residents learn only what their society permits, viewers encounter evidence in fragments, and even discoveries can create new uncertainty. A rushed ending could turn years of tension into a sequence of explanations. Too much hesitation could leave the central conflict unfinished.

The third season’s expansion into the “Before Times” gave the series another way to deliver answers. Instead of relying entirely on present-day characters finding records or explaining old events, the story could place viewers closer to the decisions that created the underground world.

Silo season 4 can use that groundwork to connect institutional history with Juliette’s personal fight. The mystery is no longer simply how the silos work. It is also about who designed their rules, what those rules were meant to prevent, and whether survival built on control can remain defensible after its foundations are exposed.

Rebecca Ferguson Carries Juliette’s Last Journey

Ferguson has been the physical and emotional anchor of the series since its first season. Juliette is an engineer before she is a conventional hero, approaching danger as a system that can be studied, opened, repaired, or challenged.

That temperament helped Silo avoid turning its central mystery into an abstract puzzle. Every hidden mechanism affects people who must live within it. Discovering the truth carries a personal cost because the society depends on limiting who may possess it.

Ferguson’s executive producer role also gives her involvement beyond the performance itself. The fourth season will close a character journey she has helped shape across several years of production.

The current Silo cast page also includes Common, Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche, Avi Nash, Alexandria Riley, Shane McRae, Remmie Milner, Rick Gomez, Billy Postlethwaite, Clare Perkins, Jessica Henwick, Ashley Zukerman and Steve Zahn. The final-season announcement does not provide a definitive list of every returning performer, so presence on the wider series page should not be treated as confirmation that each character appears in Silo season 4.

Behind the camera, the announced executive producers include Yost, Ferguson, Howey, Michael Dinner, Nina Jack, Joanna Thapa, Morten Tyldum, Amber Templemore, Fred Golan, Rémi Aubuchon and AMC Studios. Apple Studios produces the series.

Howey’s continuing involvement is especially valuable as the adaptation reaches material that must connect the mythology created across the novels. A screen version can reorganize characters, timing and revelations, but the ending still needs to feel consistent with the world’s original logic.

Why a Complete Four-Season Story Helps Apple TV

A defined ending gives Silo lasting value beyond the attention surrounding its final premiere.

Viewers who hesitate to begin a serialized mystery often want to know whether it reaches an intentional destination. Once Silo season 4 is complete, the service will have a finished science-fiction drama spanning four seasons, with no uncertainty about whether its central narrative stops midway.

That makes the show easier to recommend years after the finale. It can be watched as one long story rather than as a promising series whose survival depends on another corporate decision.

The release date also allows Apple TV to keep one of its recognizable genre dramas active through 2027. Silo occupies a particular place within the catalog: visually ambitious science fiction built around social control, mechanical detail and a mystery that rewards attention.

Its appeal does not depend on constant spectacle. Long stairways, restricted spaces, aging machinery and controlled screens make the environment feel oppressive before a character says a word. The production turns architecture into part of the power structure, reinforcing the distance between the people making decisions and those living far below them.

A planned final season can spend its resources on the places and events necessary to complete that world instead of extending the premise simply to preserve a successful title.

Anyone starting from the beginning has roughly 10 months to watch the first three seasons before July 9. That works out to about three episodes per month, leaving enough time to absorb the clues without turning the entire story into a rushed marathon.

The season-four sneak peek is already available as bonus content on the show’s Apple TV page. Because it follows the third-season finale, viewers who have not caught up may prefer to leave that two-minute preview untouched until they reach the end of “Troy.”
