Apple Event — What to Expect (Sept 9, 2025)
Today at 1PM ET Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 lineup. Rumors point to a possible all‑new ultra‑thin model called the “iPhone Air,” plus updates to the Apple Watch family (including a refreshed Ultra) and possibly AirPods Pro 3.
Top rumors and highlights
- iPhone Air: Reportedly about 5.55 mm thick (thinnest iPhone yet). Likely compromises: single 48MP camera and a smaller battery (reported ~16% less capacity than iPhone 17). TrendForce speculation: a high‑density silicon‑anode battery could offset smaller capacity.
- iPhone 17 Pro / Pro Max: Possible switch from titanium to aluminum, expanded rear camera island across most of the back (three cameras, improved telephoto up to 48MP), anti‑glare coating and thermal improvements hinted by Apple invitation artwork.
- iPhone 17 (standard): May gain a 120Hz variable refresh rate (ProMotion), bringing smoother display performance to the non‑Pro model.
- iOS 26: New iPhones will ship with iOS 26, which includes a major visual refresh (Liquid Glass language).
- Apple Watch: New Ultra model with 5G and processor upgrades is expected; Series 11 may get a faster chip and possibly 5G. Reports around fitness team leadership and legal issues are background context but unlikely to be central at the event.
- AirPods Pro 3: Might arrive with biometric features (in‑ear heart rate, temperature sensing) and live translation; minor design tweaks and a smaller case are rumored.
