FULL STORY ======================================================================Bloomber g's Mark Gurman has shared a list of devices he expects to see at the upcoming Apple Event These include the iPhone 17 series, AirPods Pro 3, and Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple's "Awe Dropping" event is scheduled for September 9 Its almost time for the next Apple event the tech giants next keynote, titled Awe Dropping, will take place on September 9 , and will almost certainly bring official announcements for the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, as well as several other new Apple products. Ahead of the event, Bloombergs resident Apple expert Mark Gurman has compiled a list of every new device were expecting to see announced, from the new iPhones to refreshed Apple Watches to the long-rumored AirPods Pro 3 . As keen TechRadar readers may know, Mark Gurman is one of the most reliable and trustworthy tipsters in the tech industry while his predictions are still very much based on rumors, they hold as much weight as unconfirmed information can. Gurmans list includes references to widely reported rumors, as well as some surprises. Keep reading for a full breakdown. iPhone 17 The iPhone 17 is slated to be a rather iterative update on the iPhone 16 (pictured). (Image credit: Future) Apple always releases its new iPhone series in September, so it almost goes without saying that well see the iPhone 17 and its variants revealed at the Awe Dropping keynote. Gurman suggests that this years base model iPhone will have a larger 6.3-inch ProMotion display, rather than the static 120Hz screen that was previously rumored . This would give the standard iPhone 17 the same display as the iPhone 17 Pro, which would be a huge move considering how slowly Apple has been to give its standard flagship modern display tech. The list also hints at a new, faster A19 chipset, which is in line with our expectations. iPhone 17 Air The iPhone 17 Air could replace the iPhone 16 Plus (pictured) altogether. (Image credit: Future) As weve previously reported, Apple is expected to replace the iPhone 16 Plus with a new thinner-and-lighter iPhone 17 Air , with a new design, single rear camera, and worse battery life. Gurman adds that the iPhone 17 Air could have a 6.6-inch display, slightly reduced from the 6.7-inch screen on the iPhone 16 Plus. He also suggests that the iPhone 17 Air could get the Apple C1 modem, while the other iPhone 17 models will stick with Qualcomm chips for wifi and cellular connectivity. We may also see an iPhone 4-style bumper case for the iPhone 17 Air, which seems like a sensible accessory for a phone focused on thinness. iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max The iPhone 16 Pro Max (pictured) could be the last of its design if the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max bring big visual changes. (Image credit: Apple) The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max have been the subject of much discussion in the months up to now, as several rumors, leaked images, and tipoffs have suggested that Apples highest-end handsets are in for a major redesign , with a Google Pixel-style bar-shaped camera housing and two-tone rear panel. Gurmans list corroborates the new camera housing, but not the two-tone panel, only suggesting that the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will ditch the titanium chassis first seen on the iPhone 15 Pro for aluminum. Internally, were likely to see a new A19 Pro chipset with performance upgrades, and Gurman suggests battery life improvements, too. And as weve previously reported, other rumors point to some nice camera upgrades for this years Pro iPhones. Gurman suggests a 48MP telephoto camera is indeed on the way, and surprisingly mentions a variable aperture for the main camera, which we thought would come with next years iPhone 18 Pro. Other surprising camera suggestions from Gurman include simultaneous recording with the front and rear camera (a feature Android has boasted for a while), and the biggest ever upgrade for the selfie camera, which has been stuck at 12MP for years. Apple Watch Ultra 3 It's been two years since we got an update to the Apple Watch Ultra (pictured: Apple Watch Ultra 2) (Image credit: Future / Matt Evans) If current rumors are anything to go by, its set to be a big year for the Apple Watch family. As weve been expecting, Gurman suggests that well see a new Apple Watch Ultra this year, with a display the same size as the Apple Watch Series 10 (though its not clear if this means 42mm or 46mm). Other new features for the Apple Watch Ultra 3 could include a new S11 chipset, the ability to use satellite networks for calls and texts, and 5G Redcap connectivity. Be sure to check out our Apple Watch Ultra 3 hub for the latest rumors about Apples next flagship smartwatch. Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch SE Gurman suggests the Apple Watch Series 11 will look the same as the Series 10 (pictured), just with new colors and strap options. (Image credit: Future/Jacob Krol) As for Apples everyday smartwatches, were expecting September 9 to bring announcements for the Apple Watch Series 11 and a revised Apple Watch SE. Gurman doesnt offer too much insight on the Apple Watch Series 11. Other than a brighter screen, were expecting the Series 11 to look the same as last years Series 10, with new colors and wristbands to choose from. As for the Apple Watch SE, Gurman suggests a new look, new display, and faster chip could be on the way. As our Apple Watch SE 3 hub recounts, Gurman previously suggested a more kid-friendly look could be on the way for the Apple Watch SE, as Apple pivots to target younger audiences with its cheapest wearable. AirPods Pro 3 (Image credit: Future) It seems likely that well see the AirPods Pro 3 revealed on September 9 as weve previously reported, detailed leaks concerning dimensions and pairing tech have been floating around for a while, and there are even some claims that the new wireless earbuds will come with heart rate sensors and temperature tracking . Gurman also mentions the heart-rate sensor rumor, but only says that Apple has tested the feature. Hes more confident about AI, and suggests the AirPods Pro 3 will be able to translate conversations between two different languages in realtime. Its also suggested that the charging case will be much smaller than the AirPods Pro 2 , though its not like AirPods have ever been too bulky. Thats all of the predictions for this years September Apple event announcements. Gurman does mention a list of other devices due for an update soon, but doesnt give any possible release dates: these include the Vision Pro, iPad Pro M5, AirTag 2, Apple TV, and HomePod mini.
