Aside from the iPhone 17, here's a look at what else is rumored to be unveiled:
Apple Air
In 2024, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported that the iPhone Plus line would be discontinued with the iPhone 17, making room for iPhone Air. Bloomberg reported this new model will be about 5.5 millimeters thin, which is about a third thinner than the iPhone 16 pro.
Macworld, an Apple news outlet, also expects the iPhone Air line to create a new camera bar, where the design element that features the phone's rear cameras stretches across the phone.
Apple Watches
Macworld also expects Apple to revamp its Apple Watch line, debuting the Series 11, SE and Ultra 3. These watches may be larger in size and come with watchOS 26 pre-installed.
