As every year, Apple will present its new smartphones in early September. The world of technology and brand fans will resort to Cupertino on September 9 at 7 pm (French time), to discover what the company has prepared in the biggest secret … or almost.
Obviously, the iPhone will capture the greatest attention, especially because the future iPhone 17 will benefit from iOS 26, an important update since it will have to prolong the original impulse of Apple’s intelligence when reviewing the system interface.
An Ultra Fine iphone “
According to very recurring rumors already reliable, Apple should launch an iPhone 17 “Ultra Bine”. There is no certainty about his name, of course, but now it seems almost certain that Apple will present this model that responds to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge presented in early 2025.
iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Slim … There are not many possible names, but the characteristics seem to have leaked. According to Bloomberg, this model whose battery will not be as “large” as that of the iPhone but replaces will be very good: 0.55 centimeters thick. It would benefit from a 6.6 -inch panel and a dynamic island.
It would have a single photo sensor of 48 megapixels in the rear and an A19 processor, not to mention the 5G C1 chip, the same one that is installed on the iPhone 16. It is a 5G modem designed by Apple after the purchase of Intel’s activities in this sector.
The location for a physical SIM card would be absent from subscribers, which would be the first in Europe. The price remains to be known, but the US press announces about $ 900, probably more than 1,000 euros.
IPhone 17s in continuity
In addition to the iPhone 17 “Air” or “Delgado”, Apple will obviously renew all its catalog with an iPhone 17 followed by iPhone 17 Pro and 17 pro max. Again, the physical SIM card could disappear, as has been the case in the United States during some generations. The “Pro” models would have three 48 MP sensors with an 8X optical zoom and could record in 8K.
The great novelty must be on the side of the front sensor, which would be 24 MP. The set would be equipped with an A19 Pro processor and 12 GB of RAM. A combo designed for artificial intelligence. According to Ice Universe, a Apple leak specialist, Pro Max could even benefit from a much more important battery than before.
However, the main novelty would be on the screen level: each iPhone, and not only the PRO, would have the “promotion”, which allows to vary the speed of slope of the slab from 1 to 120 Hz and, therefore, would benefit from better fluidity while saving autonomy. The set will be carried, remember, by iOS 26, whose launch date will coincide with that of the new iPhone.
Apple Watch 11 series
Apple Watch Series 11 should not be a design revolution. The changes are quite expected on the side of the health characteristics. While Apple has been working on hypertension detection for some time, a function could be implemented in this new model. To this would be added an improvement in sleep monitoring.
Apple Watch 11 series could also be the company’s first connected clock to go to 5G thanks to a mediatek modem that admits 5G Redcap, Technology thought for connected objects, according to Bloomberg. Until now, the models are limited to 4g.
Apple Watch Ultra 3
If the Apple Watch Ultra was not entitled to a new version last year, this would not be the case this year. The Apple Connected watch for extreme sports should benefit from some new features, starting with the satellite connection. This function, which allows you to send messages when it is out of the network (cell or wifi), is now available on the Google Pixel 4 clock. Users can contact your loved ones or help if necessary during your adventures.
Like the Apple Watch 11 series, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 could also be compatible with 5G. Design level, however, should not change too much. The only difference compared to the previous models would be a slightly larger screen. According to Macrumors, it would have a resolution of 422×514 pixels, against 410×502 pixels for the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The case could maintain the same size (49 mm), but the screen edges could be finer, for a larger visualization surface.
Apple Watch Se 3
Having not been renewed since 2022, Apple’s most affordable model could be the most design changes. The company would plan to leave the aluminum of the Apple Watch Se, to replace it with plastic. A way to make it even more affordable, with a material that is less expensive.
The Apple Watch screen could also be larger. The two previous models are available in two sizes: 40 and 44 mm. According to analyst Ross Young, whose comments were broadcast by Macrumors, this new version will be available with 1.6 and 1.8 inches screens. In other words, it is possible that the Apple Watch goes from 3 to 41 and 45 mm, the sizes that the company abandoned for its classic clock connected, with the Apple Watch 10 series (42 and 46 mm last year).
Airpods pro 3
As for recent years, we could talk about the Airpods range during the Apple Conference with Airpods Pro 3. In addition to a new case that would be smaller and that would eliminate the pairing button (as in the Airpods 4), Apple would also have added a heart rate meter.
If the reason for this addition is asked: the area at the ear level would allow a better measure to rest only on the clock or the connected bracelet. If you are a great athlete, the Airpods Pro 3 could become your new exercise colleagues.
The company would align with what its subsidiary Beats does with Powerbeats Pro 2 with the same functionality. This novelty would be possible thanks to a new chip, H3.
What about AI?
If Apple undoubtedly pronounces several (tens) of times the words “artificial intelligence” during its conference, in particular thanks to the presence of key functions in iOS 26, the company should not spend long minutes.
Waiting for the new “more personal” Siri, postponed to 2026, less than a surprise repurchase in the next few days, Apple could choose discretion, as what was done during the WWDC 2025 in June.
As for the rest, we will still have to wait. Either for a new mixed reality headset or new iPads, or other connected products whose rumors have been informing for several years.
