Apple will unveil the AirPods Pro 3, along with the iPhone 17 series and new Apple Watch models, at its event on September 9th. The iPhone 17 series will include the standard model, a thinner version called the Air, and Pro and Pro Max models.
Devices to be unveiled at the Apple event
The iPhone 17 series is not expected to undergo major design changes, but there may be slight differences in screen sizes. The iPhone 17 and 17 Plus are rumored to come with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to continue to be offered with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens. Apple may also consider slightly thinner screen edges and use thinner bezels.
The iPhone 17 series is expected to be powered by Apple’s latest A18 chipset. This chipset is expected to offer better energy efficiency and performance compared to the A17 chip. The A18 is likely to feature more advanced artificial intelligence and graphics processing capabilities. This could mean stronger performance for games and heavy-duty applications.
The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to receive significant camera updates. The aim is to deliver better results in both photo and video capture, particularly with a larger sensor and enhanced optical zoom. Additionally, improvements to night mode and portrait photography are expected on the Pro models.
The iPhone 17 series is likely to feature the Dynamic Island feature on all models. This feature provides a dynamic area at the top of the screen that displays notifications, interactive elements, and app information. This feature became more common after the iPhone 14 Pro models, and it is expected to appeal to a wider audience with the iPhone 17.
On the Apple Watch front, the Series 11, Ultra 3, and SE 3 models will debut. The Series 11 will feature the MediaTek modem, the new S11 chip, blood pressure measurement, and AI-powered sports features. There may be minor design changes.
The Ultra 3 will feature a brighter, high-refresh-rate OLED display. There will also be innovations such as satellite connectivity support and faster charging. The Apple Watch SE 3 will be updated for the first time after 2022. Thinner bezels and improved health and fitness features are expected. The SE 3 may also feature a sleek design similar to the Apple Watch 10.
In the wireless headphone category, the AirPods Pro 3 is expected to be introduced. These next-generation headphones will offer better sound quality and improved active noise cancellation. They will also feature innovations such as the use of the H3 chip, improvements for hearing health, and increased charging performance. Apple is expected to announce official dates and other surprises at its September 9th event. The iPhone 17 series is particularly anticipated.
