Apple is gearing up for its much-awaited “Awe Dropping” launch event today, September 9. The event is being closely watched by tech enthusiasts and industry experts as Apple aims to expand its ecosystem with new devices and improved features. While the spotlight will be on the next-generation iPhone 17 lineup, but there have been rumours about several other exciting products. According to reports, the company is expected to unveil the AirPods Pro 3 , the Apple Watch Ultra 3, Apple Watch Series 11, an all new Watch SE model along with iOS 26 and more. Here’s a look at launches expected from today’s Apple event other than the iPhone 17 series
Apple Watch Ultra 3
After skipping big upgrades last year, Apple is expected to bring major changes with the Apple Watch Ultra 3. The rugged watch may get a bigger display, possibly larger than the Series 10, and a new S11 chip for faster performance. A key highlight could be satellite connectivity, letting users send texts or call for help even without Wi-Fi or mobile networks. It will also support 5G RedCap, a new modem that balances battery life with fast data speeds.
Apple Watch Series 11
The Series 11 may not look very different from the Series 10, which had a big design update. Instead, Apple is likely to add small but useful changes, like a brighter screen, new colors, and the same powerful S11 chip found in the Ultra 3.
Apple Watch SE
The affordable Apple Watch SE, last updated in 2022, is expected to get its first big refresh. Reports suggest it will feature a faster processor and improved display technology while keeping its entry-level price tag. The SE will continue to serve as Apple’s budget-friendly smartwatch and a popular option for kids.
AirPods Pro 3
Apple is expected to launch the AirPods Pro 3, the first major upgrade to its premium earbuds since 2022. The new model may come with health features, including heart rate monitoring similar to what was seen in the Powerbeats Pro 2.
The earbuds are also said to have a smaller charging case with a new pairing system that removes the physical button, following the design changes introduced in the AirPods 4. A standout feature could be live translation, letting users translate conversations in real time. The AirPods Pro 3 may also get a faster H3 chip and possibly temperature sensing for added health tracking.
HomePod mini (2nd Generation)
Apple is likely to introduce the next generation HomePod mini at the event today. The new HomePod mini could come with an updated S9 or newer chip and support for Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7. Users can also expect improved sound quality, making it a more powerful smart speaker option.
AirTag (2nd Generation)
Apple’s next AirTag is also expected to see an upgrade. The next generation AirTag may offer up to three times longer tracking range than the current version. It may also include a more tamper-proof speaker and early alerts for low battery, making it more reliable for daily use.
Accessories and cases
Alongside the iPhone 17 lineup, Apple is expected to introduce new accessories. These may include TechWoven cases, redesigned Clear Cases, stylish crossbody straps, and a fresh range of Apple Watch bands.
