The invite shows a glowing Apple logo in blue, yellow, and orange gradients on a black background, sparking speculation about new iPhone colors or something else. Apple will hold a pre-recorded presentation streamed on its website, YouTube, Apple TV app, and Vision Pro, alongside limited in-person attendance.

What to Expect At the “Awe Dropping” Apple Event

The iPhone 17 lineup is the star, rumored to include the slimmer iPhone 17 Air alongside the regular iPhone 17, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max models. Upgrades may bring a scratch-resistant antireflective display, 8X telephoto zoom on the Pro, a bigger battery for the Pro Max, 120Hz refresh rate on the base model, and maybe custom Wi-Fi chips.

Other reveals could include the Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra, AirPods Pro 3, updated Apple TV 4K, and even a new HomePod mini. iOS 26 will also be part of the show, with the new “Liquid Glass” interface, redesigned Camera app, polls in group chats, smarter spam detection, and more. A Siri overhaul might take longer, but some new Apple Intelligence features are expected to be announced.

As for the Apple logo in the invite, it likely hints at the two new iPhone 17 Pro colors – the much-anticipated Orange or Bronze and a deep blue. It could also be teasing the rumored liquid glass design, or perhaps something related to a temperature sensor, since the animation closely resembles a heat map with shades of blue, white, orange, and red.
