Apple is preparing to unveil its latest lineup of hardware at its “Awe dropping” special event tomorrow, September 9. The keynote will begin at 10 a.m. PT (10:30 p.m. IST) and will be streamed live on Apple’s website, YouTube, and Apple TV app. The company is expected to introduce the iPhone 17 series, new Apple Watches, AirPods Pro 3, and other hardware updates.
iPhone 17 lineup
Apple’s biggest reveal will be the iPhone 17 lineup. Four models are expected:
• iPhone 17: Larger display, 24MP front camera, ProMotion, and always-on display.
• iPhone 17 Air: A new ultra-thin design with a 6.6-inch screen, A19 chip, and a single rear camera.
• iPhone 17 Pro: Redesigned camera bar, A19 Pro chip, 48MP telephoto lens, and 24MP front camera.
• iPhone 17 Pro Max: All Pro features with a thicker frame to support a larger battery.
Apple Watch Series 11
The Apple Watch Series 11 will retain its overall design but gain a faster S-series chip and a 5G modem. Blood pressure monitoring remains in development but may not debut this year.
Apple Watch Ultra 3
The rugged Apple Watch Ultra 3 is tipped to include a larger display with slimmer bezels, the new S11 chip, satellite connectivity, and 5G support. Blood pressure features may also arrive with this update.
Apple Watch SE 3
The entry-level Watch SE 3 could see its first refresh since 2022. Apple may introduce a plastic body, bigger displays, and a new chip for better performance.
AirPods Pro 3
The next-generation AirPods Pro 3 are expected to launch with an H3 chip, heart-rate monitoring, improved noise cancellation, and a redesigned charging case.
Software updates
Alongside hardware, Apple will roll out stable versions of iOS 26, watchOS 26, and other updates announced at WWDC earlier this year.
Possible extras
While not confirmed, Apple could also showcase AirTag 2 with an improved Ultra Wideband chip, a new Apple TV 4K, a second-generation HomePod mini, or an updated Vision Pro headset. These might arrive later in the year if not tomorrow.
