Apple’s Upcoming Product Launch: iPhone 17 and More
Tech behemoth Apple is poised to unveil an array of exciting products, including the highly anticipated iPhone 17 and an upgraded version of the Apple Watch. On Tuesday, the company announced that its next major global event will take place on September 9.
CEO Tim Cook took to X to share a post featuring the tagline “Awe-dropping,” signaling the forthcoming revelations at the iconic Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park, California.
This annual event presents a prime opportunity for Apple to elaborate on the enhancements to its Liquid Glass software, as well as discuss the projected advancements in Apple Intelligence features, particularly AI upgrades for Siri, as indicated by various reports.
Furthermore, it is rumored that the tech giant will introduce a sleeker iteration of its latest smartphone, potentially entitled the iPhone Air, reminiscent of Apple’s iPad Air and MacBook Air product lines.
Recent coverage by Bloomberg suggests that the unveiling will also include new entry-level and high-end Apple Watches, revamped iPad Pro models, and an expedited version of the Vision Pro headset.
Details on the iPhone 17 and Apple Watch
Apple is anticipated to announce both a standard and two Pro models of the iPhone, with speculation surrounding the replacement of the Plus variant by a new, more streamlined iPhone 17 Air. Reports suggest that this Air model will feature an ultra-thin profile of 5.5 mm and a 6.6-inch display, rendering it 0.08 inches thinner than its predecessors.
The base version of the iPhone 17 is expected to debut with a larger 6.3-inch screen, boasting a 120Hz refresh rate, a step up from the traditional 60Hz observed in past models. The Apple Watch Series 11, Ultra 3, and SE 3 are also on the brink of introduction, with the Apple Watch Ultra 3 anticipated to be a standout upgrade, featuring an expanded display and support for faster charging.
In addition to these announcements, the company may unveil the AirPods Pro 3, marking a three-year hiatus since the last generation. Amidst pressures from the previous Trump administration, Apple has committed to increasing its substantial investment in the U.S. to $600 billion over the coming four years, which will generate jobs and relocate certain operations, potentially mitigating the effects of looming import tariffs on goods sourced from its primary manufacturing locations, such as China and India.
In June, Apple had previously debuted a range of AI and software enhancements, including a comprehensive overhaul of its operating system designed to exhibit what it calls “liquid glass.”
However, some industry analysts note that Apple’s delayed entry into the AI arena has resulted in a competitive disadvantage, with rivals like Samsung and Chinese brands such as Honor and Huawei capitalizing on the window left by Apple through their own AI innovations.
