Apple will hold a fall event at Apple Park to unveil a slate of new hardware and software, with the company expected to spotlight an updated Apple Watch family, the next-generation AirPods Pro, and the iPhone 17 lineup, alongside several accessory and software refreshes. The keynote will be livestreamed on Apple’s website and YouTube channel.
The event will take place at Apple Park in Cupertino and will be available to watch online via Apple’s official channels.
Apple Watch updates are expected to lead the hardware announcements. Leaks indicate a new Apple Watch Ultra 3 with satellite messaging, 5G connectivity, and a brighter, more power-efficient display. The mainstream Apple Watch Series 11 is rumored to gain high blood pressure detection, while an Apple Watch SE 3 promises near-flagship performance at a lower price point. Reports also suggest Apple may begin shipping its own custom Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth chip across the watch lineup.
Apple is also rumored to introduce AirPods Pro 3, the first significant refresh since 2023. The new earbuds are said to include an H3 chip, built-in heart rate and temperature sensors, and a live translation feature. Those health sensors reportedly will integrate with Apple Watch functionality to enhance fitness and wellness tracking.
The centerpiece of the event is expected to be the iPhone 17 series, which is likely to include four models: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The iPhone 17 Air is tipped to be the thinnest iPhone to date, featuring a single 48MP rear camera, a silicon anode battery, and a 120Hz ProMotion display. The standard iPhone 17 could grow to a 6.3-inch display and add 120Hz refresh-rate support. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are rumored to debut a horizontal glass camera island, a 48MP zoom sensor, Apple’s 3nm A19 Pro chip paired with up to 12GB of RAM, and an anti-glare display coating similar to recent iPad models.
Other expected announcements include a replacement of FineWoven cases with a new TechWoven line and the public rollout of iOS 26 featuring a redesigned Liquid Glass interface. Separately, Apple is reportedly developing a refreshed HomePod mini (second generation), a new Apple TV 4K powered by an A17 Pro chip, and an updated AirTag, though those products are not widely expected to appear at this event.
