Apple’s ‘Awe Dropping’ Event: Last-Minute Leaks Detail iPhone 17, AirPods Pro 3, and More
With Apple’s highly anticipated “Awe dropping” event just hours away, a flurry of last-minute leaks and rumors is painting a clearer picture of what to expect from the tech giant. Anticipation is high for the new iPhone 17 lineup, Apple Watch Series 11, updated AirPods Pro, and potentially a surprise M5 iPad Pro.
The iPhone 17 is generating significant buzz, particularly regarding its battery life and accessories. Leaked data from a Chinese regulatory database suggests the iPhone 17 Pro could boast a massive 19% larger battery compared to its predecessor, promising a substantial boost in endurance. New images also fuel rumors of a “Crossbody Strap” accessory, designed to attach to iPhone 17 cases featuring lanyard connectors, with an intriguing bright orange color possibly complementing a rumored orange iPhone 17 Pro.
AirPods Pro 3 appear to be a near certainty for this week’s event. Analysts Ming-Chi Kuo and Instant Digital confirm the long-awaited refresh. Reports indicate two versions are in the pipeline: one launching this week with a heart rate monitoring sensor and H3 chip, and a higher-end model with infrared cameras slated for 2026. While an improved design for better fit is expected, major audio or noise cancellation enhancements are not anticipated.
The Apple Watch SE 3 is also expected to make an appearance, according to recent posts. While earlier rumors of a plastic design seem to have been shelved, the new SE 3 is likely to feature a faster chip for enhanced performance and larger displays, mirroring the size of Apple Watch Series 7-9 models.
Intriguingly, an M5 iPad Pro announcement can’t be entirely ruled out for tomorrow, despite earlier expectations pointing to an October or November launch. While some skepticism remains about Apple overshadowing new iPhones with an M5 product, the possibility adds another layer of excitement to the event.
Finally, Mark Gurman has shed light on iPhone 17 Pro colors and cooling. He expects a new heat management system, possibly a vapor chamber, to be a key highlight for the Pro models. Unique color options for the iPhone 17 Pro are rumored to include orange and blue.
