Live: Apple's September 2026 Event, Verified Against Apple's Own Pages
What did Apple announce on September 9, 2026? This is live coverage. Apple’s “Surprise and shine” keynote runs at 10 a.m. PT from Apple Park,1 and the sections below fill in during the event as each announcement is checked against Apple’s own pages, with the time each entry landed. Rumors stay out; every line carries the Apple page it was verified against.
TL;DR: The keynote opened at 10 a.m. PT with Apple Intelligence and Siri AI before any hardware; Siri AI ships in beta in English with five more languages in October and no availability in the EU or China, and the A20 Pro led the hardware half. Before the keynote, the verifiable facts were the event itself and the state of the developer betas. Apple’s releases feed lists iOS 27.0 beta 8 (build 24A5430a) from August 31 as the newest developer build, and iOS 26.6.2 shipped on September 8.2 Everything past that point is filled in below as Apple publishes it.

10:06 a.m. PT: Apple Intelligence first
The first segment was Apple Intelligence. App icons floated around the presenter, a demo film showed a rider using an iPhone on a train, and the segment closed on a diagram of the Apple Intelligence glyph on a phone and inside a cloud, Apple’s on-device and Private Cloud Compute split drawn as one picture.

10:08 a.m. PT: hardware begins with an exploded iPhone
The stream moved to hardware with an exploded view of an iPhone, its frame, board, camera module, and display laid out as separate parts. The model was not named on screen at that moment.

10:10 a.m. PT: Siri, with a number
A second presenter took the Siri segment. A slide read “2.5 billion requests per day,” and the demos that followed were everyday ones: asking Siri at a market stall to add the rest of a recipe’s ingredients to a grocery list, a lock-screen “Notify Me” alert reporting that a web page had changed, and visual intelligence identifying a scene from a photo.

10:14 a.m. PT: Siri AI languages and a footnote
The rollout slide named the product “Siri AI”: available in beta in English, coming in October in French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. The footnote at the bottom of the slide read “Siri AI will not be available in the EU and China.”

10:15 a.m. PT: A20 Pro
Hardware proper opened with the chip. The A20 Pro slides listed a 6-core CPU with two new “super cores” labeled 20% faster and four new efficiency cores, then a 7-core GPU labeled “40% faster graphics performance,” then a Neural Engine with “32 total cores.” The process node did not appear on screen.
