Apple is holding its event for the iPhone 17 on Tuesday, September 9, to be held at the Steve Jobs theatre in Cupertino and will start at 6p.m. (GMT).
The company is expected to release its iPhone 17 line-up, along with updates for the Apple Watch and AirPods.
As always, there have been plenty of rumours, including larger screens and improved cameras for the iPhone 17 models and the possible introduction of an ultra-thin iPhone Air that could replace the Plus model.
iPhone 17 Series
The iPhone 17 is rumoured to get a significant makeover to align more closely with the Pro models. It could feature a slightly larger 6.3-inch screen, as well as a 120Hz display, a substantial upgrade from the current 60Hz.
Another rumour is that Apple might be introducing its slimmest phone ever, the iPhone Air, which may replace the iPhone Plus.
This rumored device is said to have a profile thickness of 5.5 mm, making it about 0.08 inches thinner than current iPhones. It’ll also feature a 6.6-inch screen.
Apple Watches
Various rumours surround an Apple Watch Ultra 3, suggesting it will undergo significant changes. These may include faster charging speeds, 5G support, and satellite connectivity. Additionally, it’s speculated that the watch will feature a larger display.
It’s expected that both the Ultra 3 and Series 11 will incorporate blood pressure monitoring capabilities. This feature would notify users if their blood pressure levels are too high or too low.
Apple recently announced a redesigned blood oxygen feature rolling out to some Series 8, 10, and Ultra watches in the U.S.
The third generation of Apple Watch SE isn’t expected to receive major updates, aside from possibly a larger display.
AirPods Pro 3
Rumors suggest that the AirPods Pro 3 will feature a sleeker design, touch-sensitive controls, smaller earbuds, and a slimmer case. Another rumor claims the pairing button will be removed, and instead, you touch the case itself.
The H3 chip is also expected to enhance active noise cancellation and adaptive audio.
