Apple Unveils iPhone 17 Lineup with Redesigned Model, iOS 26 Update

Apple's highly anticipated 2025 fall event, dubbed the "Awe Dropping" keynote, is set to unveil the iPhone 17 lineup along with new Apple Watches and AirPods. The highlight is expected to be the iPhone 17 Air, a significantly slimmer model at 5.5 millimeters thick, featuring a larger screen and a minimalist camera bar, representing a major design shift after years of minimal changes. Powered by the new iOS 26 with its "Liquid Glass" aesthetic, the iPhone 17 series also includes redesigned Pro models with a horizontal camera bar reminiscent of Google's Pixel phones. While the iPhone Air aims to reinvigorate consumer upgrades amidst longer replacement cycles, analysts remain cautious on whether the new design alone will spur a major upgrade wave. The event will be streamed live globally, with Apple continuing its tradition of high-production-value presentations from Cupertino. Additionally, rumors suggest potential new colors, enhanced cooling technology, and updates to other Apple products such as AirTags.
