Countdown begins: 8 new Apple products expected to drop at September 9 event

The wait is almost over for Apple fans. The tech giant is getting ready for its biggest event of the year, which everyone is looking forward to in September. The new iPhone 17 lineup will get a lot of attention, but there are also rumors of other exciting product releases coming up. The stage is set for more new products, like sleeker Apple Watches and possibly better AirPods.

8 new Apple products expected to drop at September 9 event, as per a report by Mashable.

What's different about the iPhone 17 lineup?

The iPhone reveal is always the main event at Apple's September event, and this year is no different. It looks like there are four models on the way, as per a report by Mashable:


iPhone 17
iPhone 17 Pro
iPhone 17 Pro Max
iPhone 17 Air (new Plus model)

The iPhone 17 Air is very interesting because it is said to be Apple's thinnest phone yet, measuring only 5 to 6 mm thick. It might have a 6.5-inch screen, but it will have to make some trade-offs, like a smaller battery and only one 48MP rear camera lens.

All new models are expected to have a 24MP selfie camera and a 120Hz display, even the base versions. The devices will come with iOS 26, Apple's biggest update in years. It has the new "Liquid Glass" design, better group chat options in Messages, and a simpler Photos app, as per a report by Mashable.

What Apple Watch models are likely to come out this year?

This event has always had Apple Watch updates, and this year looks like it will be the same. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is the most talked-about watch. It is said to have 5G connectivity, a faster processor, and the ability to send texts via satellite. This model is great for people who like to explore and could change the way smartwatches can be used, as per a report by Mashable.


Along with the Ultra, Apple is also likely to release the Apple Watch Series 11 and maybe even a new Apple Watch SE for people who want to save money. But leaks say that these models won't have big performance improvements over the ones that came before them.

Will the event see the release of new AirPods Pro from Apple?

There are rumors that AirPods Pro 3 will come out, but they are not as strong. Bloomberg reports suggest that there will be a design update this year, two years after the last one. There are rumors about health-focused features like tracking heart rate and temperature in your ear, as well as software-driven tools like real-time translation through iOS 26, as per a report by Mashable.

What Products won't be shown this time?

Not all of Apple's plans will be shown at the event in September. The foldable iPhone that people have been talking about a lot is still being worked on and won't be out until 2026. There will probably be a separate event for new MacBooks later in the fall. There are also rumors that an updated HomePod and Apple TV will come out in 2025, as per a report by Mashable.
