Apple ‘Awe Dropping’ event — what to expect (Sept 9, 2025)
Apple confirmed a livestreamed event on Sept 9 at 1PM ET from Cupertino. Major rumors ahead of the event include:
- iPhone Air: Reportedly an ultra‑thin model (~5.55 mm) that may sacrifice battery capacity and use a single 48MP camera. Stylish but not for everyone.
- iPhone 17 Pro / Pro Max: Possible shift from titanium to aluminum, a larger rear camera “island” with three cameras and an improved 48MP telephoto, plus anti‑glare coatings.
- iPhone 17 (standard): At least one supply source claims a 120Hz variable refresh (ProMotion) could arrive on the standard model.
- Software: iOS 26 will ship with the new phones and includes a major visual refresh (Liquid Glass language).
- Apple Watch: Apple Watch Ultra 3 may get 5G, a faster chip and satellite texting; Series 11 likely iterative with a faster chip.
- AirPods Pro 3: Rumored biometric sensors (in‑ear heart‑rate, maybe temperature), slight size reduction and capacitive controls. No major redesign expected per recent leaks.
Sources reported on these rumors include Bloomberg/Mark Gurman and Apple’s official events page. For the official event: Apple Events
