Apple will have its annual September event on Tuesday, September 9, with the keynote commencing at 11 PM Bangladesh time. The event, named ‘Awe Dropping’, is anticipated to unveil the new iPhone 17 series, along with potential improvements to the Apple Watch and AirPods. This is a concise overview of the primary expectations derived from prevailing industry rumors and conjectures.
The iPhone 17 is expected to have a larger 6.3-inch display, an increase over the 6.1-inch screen of its predecessor, as reported by MacRumors. The new iPhone may incorporate a 120 Hz ProMotion display, a feature hitherto exclusive to Pro versions, providing enhanced scrolling and responsiveness. The gadget is said to be equipped with Apple’s new A19 CPU and may feature an improved 24 MP front-facing camera. The design is anticipated to closely resemble that of the existing iPhone 16, including a recognizable dual-camera configuration on the rear.
A significant feature of the event could be the unveiling of a whole new model, the iPhone 17 Air. This handset is purportedly tiny, with a thickness of 5.5 mm, rendering it the thinnest iPhone ever produced, should the rumors prove accurate. The latest iPhone model is anticipated to include a 6.6-inch OLED display and a single-lens 48 MP rear camera, arranged within a unique horizontal camera bar. To achieve its streamlined design, the iPhone 17 Air may require concessions, such as a reduced battery capacity, reportedly approximately 2,800 mAh, and the implementation of Apple’s proprietary modem and Wi-Fi 7 chip. It may be classified as a mid-tier handset, priced between the basic iPhone 17 and the Pro variants.
The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are speculated to undergo substantial design and functional enhancements. Both variants may incorporate a novel pill-shaped aluminum camera bar that extends across the device’s width, supplanting the conventional square camera protrusion. Internally, they are anticipated to include the sophisticated A19 Pro chip, 12 GB of RAM, and vapor chamber cooling technology to enhance thermal performance. The camera upgrades may have a 48 MP telephoto lens with up to 8x optical zoom on the Pro Max, in addition to 8K video recording capability. The Pro variants may use a novel scratch-resistant anti-reflective display coating to enhance durability.
In addition to the iPhone, Apple is expected to unveil new Apple Watch models, including the Series 11 and an Ultra 3 model, which will feature satellite connectivity and health functionalities such as blood pressure monitoring. The third-generation AirPods Pro may be introduced, with speculation indicating the inclusion of new health sensors and a live translation capability.
Like any pre-launch conjectures, these particulars should be regarded as provisional. Apple’s formal event will include a comprehensive and detailed overview of all new products and features.
