What is Apple’s Wanderlust event?

Apple’s annual flagship launch event for new products is nearly here, with invitations to select press and insiders shared on social media yesterday. We know for a fact that the new iPhone 15 and Apple Watch Series 9 are launching at the event, with Apple stans looking for clues in the invite as to what we can expect from the new phone.

So far, the internet has speculated that the iPhone 15 will come in the muted colors displayed in the Apple logo on the invite. The latest model may have lighter and stronger titanium for the phone’s sides instead of stainless steel. Aside from that, though, details are pretty locked down as of now.

One thing we do know for sure is that the new iPhone will have USB-C charging ports thanks to incoming European Union regulations. We could also see Apple Airpods unveiled with the new charging port as part of the Wanderlust event.

What was the market reaction?

Wall Street loves a good Apple announcement, and the stock price reflected that this week. Apple shares closed 1.9% higher on Wednesday to hit $187.65. The shares are up 50% this year so far.

Earlier this year, Apple became the first-ever company to hit a $3 trillion market valuation and became the world’s biggest company. With the new iPhone 15 launch and whispers from industry experts that the household tech lull is ending, we could see Apple’s market cap grow even more.

The bottom line

Apple’s September launch events are ones that every tech enthusiast marks on their calendar. With a new iPhone launching, it’s possible investors could see Apple’s share price go up during the event — as long as consumer spending is still liquid enough to afford the latest model, a concern which has plagued other retailers.
