Apple’s ‘Awe Dropping’ Event Nears: What to Expect from iPhone 17, Apple Watch, and AirPods Pro 3
Anticipation is at an all-time high as Apple prepares for its annual iPhone-centric event, dubbed ‘Awe Dropping,’ set for Tuesday, September 9, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Just days away, this event is expected to unveil a slew of new devices, software updates, and perhaps a few surprises, solidifying Apple’s product roadmap for the coming year.
Headlining the announcements will be the much-rumored iPhone 17 lineup. Speculation is rife about the groundbreaking iPhone 17 Air, poised to be Apple’s thinnest iPhone yet at approximately 5.5mm, featuring a redesigned camera and a 6.6-inch display. The iPhone 17 Pro models are expected to bring significant durability enhancements with a rumored aluminum and partial-glass design, alongside a revamped camera bump and an upgraded 48-megapixel Telephoto lens with up to 8x optical zoom. The standard iPhone 17 is also anticipated to receive a larger 6.3-inch display and the new A19 chip.
The Apple Watch family is also due for a refresh. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 could introduce satellite connectivity, potential blood pressure monitoring, and 5G RedCap chips for enhanced cellular capabilities. The Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch SE are also expected to receive the new S11 chip, brighter displays, and updated designs, with the SE potentially adopting the Series 7’s slimmer casing and smaller bezels.
Audio enthusiasts are looking forward to the AirPods Pro 3, which are rumored to feature an updated form factor, improved Active Noise Cancellation, and potentially advanced health tracking features like in-ear heart rate monitoring and real-time live translation capabilities. Furthermore, Apple is expected to detail the release of its next-generation operating systems, including iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe, and watchOS 26.
Other potential announcements include the AirTag 2 with improved range and accuracy, a minor update to the Apple TV 4K, and a new HomePod mini. As the tech world holds its breath, all eyes will be on Apple’s livestream this Tuesday to see which of these highly anticipated rumors become reality.
