Apple’s ‘Awe Dropping’ event set to unveil all-new iPhones, Apple Watches, and more

Apple is gearing up for its highly anticipated “Awe Dropping” event today in Cupertino, California at the Steve Jobs Theater, where the company is expected to showcase a slew of new products and innovations.
According to sources, the event will spotlight the iPhone 17 series, alongside updates to the Apple Watch and AirPods, promising groundbreaking advancements in design and technology.
The iPhone 17 series is rumored to include four models: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and a new iPhone 17 Air. The iPhone 17 Air, a sleek, ultra-thin addition, is expected to feature a thinner profile, positioning it as a mid-tier option between the standard and Pro models. All models are anticipated to boast 120Hz ProMotion displays, a significant upgrade for the base models, ensuring smoother scrolling and animations. The iPhone 17 and 17 Air are expected to be powered by the A19 chip, while the Pro and Pro Max will likely feature the more powerful A19 Pro chip, enhancing performance for demanding tasks like gaming and augmented reality.
Camera upgrades are a major highlight, with the iPhone 17 Pro models expected to sport a 48MP triple-lens system, including improved ultra-wide and telephoto lenses for enhanced low-light performance and zoom capabilities. The standard iPhone 17 and Air models may see a dual-camera setup with a 48MP main sensor, elevating photo quality across the lineup.
Additionally, Apple may preview advanced AI features under its Apple Intelligence suite, integrating deeper machine learning for personalized user experiences, such as smarter Siri responses and photo editing tools. These features would arrive in a software update in spring 2026.
Beyond iPhones, the event is expected to unveil the Apple Watch Series 11, featuring a larger display, thinner bezels, and advanced health sensors, including potential blood glucose monitoring. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 may also debut. The Ultra 3 is rumored to maintain its robust titanium construction while introducing a larger, brighter display with slimmer bezels for better visibility in challenging environments. It’s anticipated to include improved battery life to support extended outdoor use. Enhanced navigation tools, such as more accurate GPS and offline mapping capabilities, are also expected, catering to adventurers and athletes, making the Ultra 3 a standout in Apple’s wearable lineup.
A new Apple Watch SE is anticipated to debut with a more affordable price point and updated features, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers.
Apple is also expected to unveil the ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ whcih will likely have the same heart rate monitoring feature that Apple first introduced on its Beats subsidiary’s Powerbeats Pro 2 earlier this year, along with a smaller charging case, improved sound, better active noise cancellation, and more.
