Apple's new CEO faces pressure to turn AI strategy into a profitable business amid pricey hardware launch.

John Ternus, Apple's new CEO, will lead his first hardware event unveiling high-priced iPhones including a foldable model, alongside wearables and smart home devices. Despite strong recent revenue, investors worry about Apple's AI strategy, which currently relies on Google's Gemini models under Siri and lacks a clear business model. The event is expected to showcase hardware innovation but may not address how Apple plans to monetize AI or expand its services beyond device sales. Ternus must clarify Apple's AI ownership, revenue plans, and the role of Apple Wallet in a competitive, evolving tech landscape.
