Google Translate Renders Apple China Tagline as Foldable Tease Ahead of September Event in 2 Weeks

3 articles · Updated · 9to5Mac · Aug 26

Summary

  • Google Translate rendered Apple’s Chinese event tagline as “A new chapter unfolds, dazzling and brilliant,” fueling fresh speculation that a foldable iPhone will debut at Apple’s September launch.
  • Apple’s official English slogan is “Surprise and shine,” a play on “rise and shine,” but the machine-translated Chinese version appears to echo fan expectations of an “unfold” theme.
  • Other translation tools produced different results, leaving the foldable hint unconfirmed and more Easter egg than evidence.
  • The translation surfaced as Apple counts down roughly 2 weeks to the event, where the company is widely expected to unveil its first folding-display iPhone.
