Apple will unveil its next wave of products at its annual hardware launch event on Tuesday, with the spotlight firmly on the new iPhone 17 series. This will finally put an end to months of speculation, leaks, and rumours. 

The event, titled ‘Awe Dropping’, is expected to bring with it a fresh wave of devices, including the company’s next iPhone range, a new Apple Watch lineup, and the third generation of AirPods Pro.

In addition, Apple is also tipped to announce rollout dates for its latest software updates, including iOS 26 and iPadOS 26.

When and where is the event happening?

The iPhone 17 launch event is set to begin with a keynote at 10am PT (10:30pm IST for viewers in India). Like previous years, the ‘Awe Dropping’ presentation will take place at the Steve Jobs Theatre in Apple Park, Cupertino (California).

How can you watch the live stream?

Apple will livestream the event on its official website and YouTube channel.

Viewers also have the option of following it through the Apple TV app, which is available on both Apple and Android devices including smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs.

What new iPhones are expected?

According to reports, Apple will launch four models in the iPhone 17 lineup. These are tipped to include the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the all-new iPhone 17 Air. The iPhone 17 Air is thought to replace the iPhone 16 Plus and could become the thinnest iPhone to date.

Apple is expected to unveil three smartwatches. These are likely to be the Apple Watch Series 11, Watch Ultra 3, and Watch SE 3.

The company may also introduce the AirPods Pro (3rd Generation). Arriving three years after the second-generation model, this new version is expected to include several upgrades, with reports suggesting the addition of a heart-rate monitoring feature.

The keynote is likely to conclude with the announcement of release dates for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and other operating system updates for supported Apple devices.
