Jakarta – Apple is preparing to hold a special event titled "Awe Dropping" on Tuesday, September 9, 2025. At this highly anticipated annual event, the Cupertino-based technology company is expected to introduce more than eight new products, including the iPhone 17 line, the latest generation Apple Watch, and the AirPods Pro 3.

The event will take place on Tuesday, September 9, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time (12:00 a.m. Western Indonesian Time). Apple will broadcast the event live on its official website, YouTube, and other media channels. Journalists will also be invited to Apple Park and the Steve Jobs Theater to witness and try out the latest products firsthand.

iPhone 17 Series

The most anticipated product is undoubtedly the iPhone 17 lineup. This year, Apple is preparing several models with significant new designs and features.

• iPhone 17: comes with a larger screen, a 24MP front camera, ProMotion, and an always-on display.
• iPhone 17 Air: a new variant with an ultra-thin design, a 6.6-inch screen, an A19 chip, and only a single rear camera.
• iPhone 17 Pro: features a "camera bar" design that replaces the old camera bump, an A19 Pro chip, a 24MP front camera, and a 48MP telephoto camera.
• iPhone 17 Pro Max: brings all the features of the Pro version, but with a thicker design for a larger battery capacity.

Apple Watch Series 11

After major changes to the Apple Watch Series 10, this latest series brings more modest improvements:

• A new S-series chip for faster and more efficient performance.
• A new modem with 5G support.
• The design and dimensions remain the same as the previous generation.
• The blood pressure monitoring feature is still in development and is not expected to arrive this year.

Apple Watch Ultra 3

The premium Apple Watch Ultra finally gets a significant update after two years:

• A larger display with a resolution of 422 x 514 pixels thanks to thinner bezels.
• Satellite connectivity, allowing you to stay connected without a cellular signal or Wi-Fi.
• A new S11 chip with faster performance.
• 5G support and possible blood pressure monitoring.

Apple Watch SE 3

Apple's affordable smartwatch will also be updated after its last release in 2022. The Apple Watch SE 3 is expected to feature:

• A new design, likely using plastic instead of aluminum.
• A faster chip for optimal performance.
• A larger display, similar in size to the Apple Watch Series 7-9.

AirPods Pro 3

After initially rumored to arrive in 2026, the AirPods Pro 3 are now expected to launch next week. Some key updates include:

• A new H3 chip with improved audio quality and better noise cancellation.
• A heart rate sensor for health monitoring.
• A smaller charging case with capacitive buttons instead of physical ones.

New Software Releases

Apple will also release software updates announced at WWDC last June, including:

• iOS 26 for iPhone
• iPadOS 26 for iPad
• watchOS 26 for Apple Watch
• macOS 26 for Mac
• tvOS 26 for Apple TV
• visionOS 26 for Vision Pro

In addition to the main product, there are several devices that Apple is rumored to be preparing, though they won't necessarily be announced next week:

• AirTag 2 with a new Ultra Wideband chip.
• The next-generation Apple TV 4K with a faster chip and Apple-designed Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity.
• HomePod mini 2 with Wi-Fi 6E support.
• A new version of the Apple Vision Pro with an M4/M5 chip and a more comfortable design.

Other products, such as new Macs and external displays, are also in development, but are unlikely to be released this September.

The launch of the iPhone 17 lineup is expected to be a major highlight. The new iPhone 17 Air variant with its ultra-thin design is expected to steal the show, while the AirPods Pro 3 and Apple Watch Ultra 3 are also among the most anticipated products.
