It's September, and that usually means it's iPhone season. Like clockwork, Apple once again appears set to show off new smartphones with its latest showcase next week. The upcoming event has been dubbed "Awe dropping," so we're hoping for a few announcements that'll warrant the tagline. The showcase begins on September 9 at 1PM ET/10AM PT.
If you want to tune in to hear what Tim Cook and crew have to say about the presumed iPhone 17, you can stream the show on Apple's website or YouTube channel. We've also got the livestream embedded below so you can follow along with our liveblog while you watch.
With just a few days to go until the "Awe dropping" event, it seems like we've already gotten a lot of advanced insights about what the iPhone 17 lineup has in store. Apple introduced the software side of the equation with the iOS 26 unveil at WWDC this summer, and since then we've gotten some pretty reliable insights on the hardware.
The big reveal is expected to be an ultralight smartphone, likely called the iPhone 17 Air. This would be Apple's first application of its Air nomenclature for mobile, and when we had Bloomberg's Mark Gurman on the Engadget Podcast at the end of August, he suggested that the first iteration of the smartphone might come with some growing pains. We also anticipate seeing a base iPhone 17, an iPhone 17 Pro, and an iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Beyond the smartphones, the "Awe dropping" event could also include three new Apple Watches and updated AirPods Pro earbuds. Bloomberg reports that Apple has several other devices in the works as well, including a new AirTag, Apple TV and iPad Pro, but it's not as certain if those will pop up at this specific event. Either way, you can tune in on September 9 to hear about all the new product launches.
