Apple’s forthcoming ‘Awe-Dropping’ event on September 9, at which the iPhone 17 series, Apple Watch Series 11, and AirPods Pro 3 will be introduced, is building anticipation. To become the center of attraction, many of the tech giant’s other suspected goods are predicted to remain covered. Five things Apple fans should not anticipate seeing revealed next week are as follows.
Based on past trends, Apple debuts its low-priced ‘e’ models in the spring. Thus, the next model, probably named iPhone 17e, would not be highlighted at this event. Rather, its debut is expected early next year, following the timeline of former models, might come with Apple’s MagSafe.
Though mobile phones grab the attention during this event, admirers hoping for a MacBook Pro with an M5 processor or a revised Macbook Air may be let down.

Annually, rumors around a new HomePod mini, smart home hub (sometimes called HomePad), and an Apple TV refresh circulate. But these goods are anticipated rather than at this mobile-focused event, to debut later in 2025 or even 2026.
Apple’s September event keynote mainly focuses on showcasing the newest iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods. It is best for people anxiously awaiting desktops, tablets, home appliances, or next-generation wearables to remain vigilant; these are probably to arrive in the next months, not next week.
