Apple usually launches its new devices in the fall. 2025 will be no different. Reports say this year’s event will be on September 9. The spotlight will be on the iPhone 17 lineup. There will also be updates for the Apple Watch and AirPods.
Rumors are already spreading. The iPhone 17 series may get larger displays and better cameras. An ultra-thin iPhone Air may debut. It could replace the Plus model. Here’s a full look at what to expect.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max
Apple’s standard iPhone 17 is rumored to be closer than ever in design to the Pro models. Expected upgrades include:
-
6.3-inch display (up from 6.1 inches on the iPhone 16)
-
120 Hz refresh rate—a big leap from the current 60Hz
-
24MP front-facing camera for sharper selfies and video calls
-
New colors: Purple and green
On the Pro models, design changes could be most visible on the back. Early concept renders suggest the triple-camera system may sit inside a single rectangular bar stretching edge to edge, with the flash, light sensor, and microphone placed to the far right.
In a surprise move, Apple may swap the Pro’s titanium frame for aluminum. This could lower costs, reduce weight, and give the phone a different feel in the hand.
The Pro Max isn’t expected to change drastically but may feature a slightly thicker frame to fit a larger battery, which would be a welcome upgrade for heavy users.
Predicted pricing:
-
iPhone 17: $800
-
iPhone 17 Pro: $1,050
-
iPhone 17 Pro Max: $1,250

iPhone Air – Apple’s Thinnest iPhone Ever
One of the most talked-about rumors is the iPhone Air, which could replace the Plus model in Apple’s lineup. This ultra-thin device is expected to be just 5.5 mm thick — about 0.08 inches slimmer than current iPhones — and will feature a 6.6-inch display.
This move would position Apple directly against slim flagship devices like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge (5.8 mm thick) and Huawei’s latest ultra-thin models. Some analysts believe the Air could be a stepping stone to Apple’s long-rumored foldable phone, reportedly in development for a 2026 release.
However, a thin profile comes with compromises. The Air may have:
-
Only one rear camera (compared to the Plus model’s dual setup)
-
Limited space for bottom speakers, possibly relying solely on the top earpiece for audio
Predicted pricing: $950
Expected colors: Black, silver, light gold
Apple Watch Series 11, Ultra 3, and SE 3
After two years, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 could be in for big changes. Rumors point to:
-
Faster charging
-
5G support
-
Satellite connectivity
-
Larger display
Health features could see major upgrades, too. Apple is reportedly testing blood pressure monitoring (alerting users to high or low readings) and a sleep apnea detection feature. However, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman warns these health features may not be ready until a later release.
The Series 11 may share some of these upgrades, while the Apple Watch SE 3 is expected to remain budget-friendly with modest improvements—possibly a larger display and even a plastic-cased version.
Predicted pricing:
-
SE 3: $250
-
Series 11: $400
-
Ultra 3: $800
AirPods Pro 3
Two years after the AirPods Pro 2, Apple could be ready to roll out the AirPods Pro 3. Expected upgrades include:
-
Sleeker design with smaller earbuds
-
Slimmer charging case
-
Touch-sensitive controls
-
H3 chip for better noise cancellation and adaptive audio
These changes aim to keep AirPods competitive in a market where high-end wireless earbuds are becoming more compact and feature-packed.

Bottom line
