- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Apple has confirmed an event in California for Wednesday, September 9, at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino. The presentation is expected to feature the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Reports also suggest the company may introduce its first foldable device, potentially named the iPhone Ultra. While Apple has not officially confirmed the foldable phone, various estimates place its price between 1,800 and 3,000 dollars depending on the configuration. Some specific projections suggest a starting price of 1,999 or 2,399 dollars, while other reports indicate that a 1 TB model could reach 2,900 dollars.
The iPhone 18 Pro models are rumored to feature the A20 Pro chip and 12 GB of RAM. Potential design changes include a smaller Dynamic Island and a new color palette that may include a cherry tone. Some reports indicate the iPhone 18 Pro would have a 6.3 inch screen and the Pro Max a 6.9 inch screen. There is conflicting information regarding the standard iPhone 18, with some reports suggesting it may not be released until 2027.
Other anticipated announcements include the Watch Series 12, a new Ultra watch, and MacBook Pro versions featuring M5 or M6 chips. One MacBook Pro model may include a touch enabled OLED screen. Fifth generation AirPods are also expected, though versions with integrated cameras may be delayed until 2027. Pre orders for the new iPhones could begin on September 12, with U.S. sales starting on September 18.
