Countdown to Apple’s September 9 Event: iPhone 17, Apple Watch, and iOS 26 Unveilings Expected
With just two days to go until Apple’s highly anticipated ‘Awe Dropping’ event on Tuesday, September 9, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, excitement is building for what promises to be the year’s biggest hardware unveiling. Industry insiders and fans alike are bracing for a slew of new devices, headlined by the iPhone 17 lineup, new Apple Watch models, and the AirPods Pro 3.
Rumors continue to swirl regarding the next-generation iPhones. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to feature significant display, thermal, and battery improvements, alongside potential price increases that might be offset by doubled base storage capacities. The standard iPhone 17 is also slated for customary chip and camera upgrades, with a possibility of a 120Hz ProMotion display.
Alongside the hardware, a final preview of iOS 26 and other operating system updates is anticipated. Recent developer and public betas of iOS 26, including new features for the Wallet app such as online shopping tracking and updated boarding passes, suggest a public release is imminent shortly after the event.
While the immediate focus is on Tuesday’s announcements, longer-term product roadmaps are also surfacing. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has indicated a foldable iPhone could arrive in 2026, followed by a foldable iPad in 2028. Furthermore, a lighter and more affordable ‘Vision Air’ is rumored for 2027, potentially weighing 40% less and costing 50% less than the current Vision Pro, making Apple’s spatial computing more accessible.
