Apple’s “Awe Dropping” Event Next Week: iPhone 17 ‘Air,’ New Watches, AirPods Pro 3 Expected
Anticipation is building as Apple’s highly anticipated “Awe dropping” event is just days away, scheduled for September 9 at 1PM ET from Cupertino. With the tech giant poised to unveil its next generation of devices, industry insiders and fans are buzzing about what’s in store, especially the rumored ultra-thin iPhone 17 ‘Air’.
The keynote, which will be livestreamed globally, is expected to feature a significant overhaul of Apple’s flagship smartphone lineup. The standout rumor points to an ‘iPhone 17 Air’ — an exceptionally thin model, potentially sacrificing battery life and sporting a single 48MP camera, but offering a sleek design to rival competitors. The Pro models, iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, are rumored to switch to an aluminum chassis, feature an expanded camera ‘island’ with an improved telephoto lens, and possibly an anti-glare display coating. The standard iPhone 17 could finally bring the 120Hz ProMotion display to its users.
Beyond iPhones, new Apple Watch models are also on the horizon. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to receive 5G connectivity, a processor upgrade, and potential satellite text messaging capabilities. While the Series 11 might see a faster chip, major design changes are less likely given the Series 10’s recent refresh. The event also comes amidst recent news regarding the Apple Watch’s blood oxygen monitoring legal battles and workplace environment concerns, though these are unlikely to be addressed during the presentation.
Finally, the long-awaited AirPods Pro 3 could make an appearance, marking the first major upgrade in three years. Rumors suggest biometric sensors, such as an in-ear heart-rate monitor and temperature sensing, alongside potential live translation features. Design changes are expected to be subtle, focusing on a slight size reduction and capacitive controls for the case.
With the official countdown underway, the tech world eagerly awaits Apple’s announcements on September 9, promising a range of innovative products and significant updates across its ecosystem.
