We all expected an Apple event in September, and the Cupertino -based technology giant has just made it official by sending invitations for a special event on September 9, with the slogan, “Awe Droping”.
There are certainly a lot of things we expect, and the special event will start enough time for Apple events. It will start at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. He / 6 p.m. BST on September 9, 2025 (3h of September 10 Aest) at Apple Park, but is not afraid if you have not marked an invitation. The event itself will be broadcast live, and Techradar will be on the ground to break all the great announcements as they occur.
To judge by rumors and what Apple showed during special events in previous September, we expect IPhone 17 The range – including the brand new IPhone 17 super thin – New Apple and Airpods watches, as well as a huge amount of software.
You may remember that Apple has shown its new liquid glass interface and its philosophy for its platforms iOS, iPados, MacOS Tahoe, Watchos, Tvos and Visionos, and all these, or at least one majority, should obtain exit dates like Apple has promised an “fall” launch (it is a period from September to November).
Below, we decompose what the invitation tells us, and a little more about what to expect at the “Awe Droping” event on September 9.
What is the “AWE Dropping” invitation tells us?
Now that Apple’s event on September 9 is official, all eyes are on the invitation itself. The “impressive” socket on the Apple logo is interesting, which transforms it into a thermal view in imaging and detecting heat. There is a strong shade of vibrating orange, dark blue, as well as aqua blue, green and even yellow here.
Could this refer to a new cooling system for the iPhone 17S rumor, or perhaps a thermal camera joining the configuration? The first seems most likely. This could also point to colors for new iPhones, which makes sense, since some rumors suggest a shade of orange for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

What can we expect from the event?
The likely star of “fear” will be the iPhone 17 range. We are waiting again four models, but this time the Air iPhone 17 can replace the most next to iPhone 17, 17 pro and 17 pro max.
With the iPhone 17, Air Apple will seek to reduce the gap with the Samsung Galaxy S25 EDGE. The 17 air should be super thin – somewhere around 5.5 millimeters – with a powerful chip inside.
It will be interesting to see if the standard iPhone 17 obtains the same chip as the pros – probably the A18 – or if it is alone. A redesigned single objective camera is supposed to, and Apple will have to tackle the battery life, especially if air 17 replaces the more durable model.
For the iPhone 17, 17 pro and 17 pro max, we expect performance upgrades from new archived silicons inside, and there could be modifications in the functioning of the camera control, according to recent rumors. Another new report suggests that the volume rocker and the action button could be combined in a
Now, if you are looking for the best cameras that Apple has to offer, the 17 pro and 17 pro max should always offer three objectives, but in a new design. We have all used a square camera bump, but according to reports, Apple could raise the bar in the same way that we saw with the Google Pixel family. You will always find a large, ultra-large and telephotojectives here, but the latter should obtain a serious upgrade.
The iPhone 17 will probably be quite similar to the iPhone 16, although I hope Apple will remain with vibrant colors here. As I noted in the iPhone 16 review, an upgrade to 120 Hz screens for the entry -level iPhone would be a much appreciated addition, and it is always a possibility, to judge by rumors that the iPhone 17 range could make it go by full. It is also indicated that the selfie camera on each new iPhone will kicks in a high speed of 24 megapixels.
All new iPhones should run iOS 26 out of the box with the new look and many new features, such as major upgrades to messages, and Apple will certainly praise new Apple Intelligence features here.
What can we expect from a Apple Watch Series 11? Well, it should stick to a similar construction and watch the series 10. However, under the hood, the processor must be upgraded for faster performance on the device, and hopefully, more effective for battery life. The series 11 should be able to follow blood oxygen out of the box around the world, and even in the United States, because Apple has reintroduced this characteristic of series 9, series 10 and Ultra 2.
You will always need to read with sensors on your wrist, but you display the results on your iPhone – an intelligent bypass solution. This health follow -up capacity should be here alongside the heart rate, ECG, a skin temperature sensor and sleep monitoring, although recent reports also note that blood pressure monitoring could also be introduced this year. You will also get Workout Buddy when monitoring training sessions as part of Watchos 26 and a new gesture.
As of Apple Watch Ultra 3We expect him to keep a similar look available in two colors – silver or black – and especially the same size. Although, as we have seen with other Apple watches, the design team could eliminate glasses to provide an even larger display which becomes considerably brighter. After all, it is designed as an Apple Watch with an adventure ultra-redness. He also obtains several new features in the context of Watchos 26, and if the new health features are on the horizon, it is likely that the ultra will have the parity of the features with the series 11.
Since it has been two years from AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C, and that Apple has deployed new features for these buds alongside AirPods 4 and Airpods Max with USB-C in 2024, there is a good chance that we will see the Airpods Pro 3 at the September event.
These will probably offer upgrades on current design, but reinvention is probably not necessary, given the popularity of the current aspect. However, the load box here could be a little reduced, and it could adopt an LED and button structure similar to that of the AirPods 4, which would mean a switch to a rather than physical capacitive button.
The PowerBeats Pro 2 already offers a monitoring of the intra-ear heart rate, so there is a good chance that these will arrive on the new AirPods Pro alongside a new processor’s performance boost. However, you may not need the cardiac frequency tracing functionality if you have an Apple Watch, however.
There is also the live translation functionality, which would face the Galaxy Buds of Samsung and Pixel Buds 2 Pro from Google. Do not expect AirPods Pro with cameras this year, however.
Apple can only integrate into a single event, but rumors indicate that the rest of 2025 being filled with technology giant. We can also expect new iPads – including an 11 -inch and 13 -inch iPad Pro with the M5 chip – and new Mac and MacBook desktop computers with the M5 as well as upgrades of the HomePod Mini and Apple TV 4K.
As for their arrival, it may be that Apple les les les les sauper for October or November. We are also talking about an Apple Vision Pro Upgraded with a faster processor on the M2, but that will probably not lower the price considerably.
As with all Apple rumors, it is important to remember that nothing is officially official until it is announced by the technology giant. You will therefore want to stick to Techradar on September 9 to follow our reports live on the Special Apple event.
