On this week's 9to5Mac Happy Hour, hosts Benjamin Mayo and Chance Miller discuss John Ternus's initial days leading Apple and speculate on Tim Cook's continued involvement. They also cover last-minute rumors ahead of the iPhone event, including possible Apple Watch Series 12 health features, and note that Apple TV subscription pricing has risen for the second consecutive year.
According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple built and internally tested a stubbier stylus meant to pair with its upcoming foldable iPhone, but the company is unlikely to release it alongside the device's debut. The design would attach to the phone's side for charging and storage, similar to existing Apple Pencils, but that placement could interfere with the fold mechanism and risk scratching the more fragile foldable display.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple plans to release two new smartwatches this fall: the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, both expected to feature faster processors and upgraded health and fitness tracking without a major design change. Rumors also suggest a possible return of ceramic casing options and hint that Touch ID fingerprint sensing could finally arrive on the wrist, based on leaked Apple code.
