Apple Event — Sept 9: What to Expect
Apple’s livestreamed keynote is set for Tuesday, September 9 at 1PM ET. Watch the official livestream on YouTube: Apple Event — September 9 (YouTube).
Top rumors to watch
- iPhone Air (rumored): An ultra‑thin iPhone (~5.55 mm) that may be positioned as a lighter, thinner model. Reports suggest compromises such as a single 48MP camera and a smaller battery, though TrendForce has suggested a high‑density “silicon anode battery” could help offset capacity limits.
- iPhone 17 / iPhone 17 Pro: Expect the new iPhone 17 lineup, possible Pro design tweaks (aluminum instead of titanium), an expanded rear camera island, improved telephoto (rumored 48MP zoom), and potential 120Hz ProMotion on the standard iPhone 17.
- iOS 26: New phones will ship with iOS 26, which brings one of Apple’s biggest visual refreshes in years — expect Apple to showcase displays and the new Liquid Glass visual language.
- Apple Watch: New models are likely, including an Apple Watch Ultra update (possible 5G, faster chip, satellite texting) and a Series 11 with incremental upgrades.
- AirPods Pro 3: A potential refresh after ~3 years; rumored features include in‑ear heart‑rate monitoring, possible temperature sensing, and live translation. Design changes are expected to be minor.
Quick notes
- No official Apple Store product/preorder pages for iPhone 17 / iPhone Air were available before the event — preorders typically go live after the keynote.
- Live coverage and analysis are expected from multiple outlets; notable reporting has come from Bloomberg, MacRumors and industry analysts.
