With Apple’s highly anticipated “Awe Dropping” fall event just a few days away, new details and expected reports keep emerging. The showcase, scheduled for Tuesday, September 9, is expected to introduce a sweeping lineup of hardware refreshes across iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods.
Industry insiders and recent leaks have helped paint a fairly detailed picture of what Apple could unveil, setting the stage for one of the most significant product announcements of the year.
The spotlight will fall on the iPhone 17 series, which is rumored to bring Apple’s boldest design and performance changes in years. Alongside the new smartphones, Apple is also preparing upgrades to its smartwatch portfolio, a new generation of AirPods Pro, and even a fresh round of accessories designed to replace the company’s much-criticized FineWoven cases.
