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.

Nepal lifts social-media ban after deadly protests; PM K.P. Sharma Oli resigns Nepal's government reversed a ban on social-media platforms after nationwide protests in which at least 19 people were reportedly killed.
