Everything Apple Announced at Its September Event: iPhone Air, iPhone 17 and More
Apple’s big September 9 event brought a wide set of announcements, led by the new iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 lineup. The event also introduced new AirPods and new Apple Watch models, making i one of Apple’s broadest hardware updates in a single presentation.
The headline was thinness. The iPhone Air, at 5.6 mm thick, was the star of the show, but the event covered far more than one phone.
iPhone Air Leads the Event
The iPhone Air was positioned as Apple’s attempt to make smartphones exciting again. Its 5.6 mm titanium body, 6.5-inch display, A19 Pro chip and $999 starting price were the key details.
With a single rear camera, it traded camera count for slimness. Apple was betting that a visibly different design would matter more to many buyers than an extra lens.
iPhone 17 and Pro Models
Alongside the Air, Apple announced the iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. These models formed the core of the new iPhone lineup for the year.
One notable change was price: the Pro model saw a $100 price increase. That increase stood out at an event otherwise focused on new designs and features.
AirPods Pro 3
The new AirPods Pro 3 added two headline features: live translation and heart-rate sensing. Live translation allows conversations in different languages to be translated in real time, while heart-rate sensing adds a health measurement to the earbuds.
Together, those features pushed AirPods further beyond simple audio, toward translation help and health tracking in everyday use.
New Apple Watches
Apple also introduced new Apple Watch models at the event. One of the notable additions was a hypertension-notification feature, designed to alert wearers to possible signs of high blood pressure.
That feature reflected a wider trend in wearables: watches that do more than count steps, by watching for health signals that might otherwise go unnoticed.
