Apple is set for its biggest launch of the year tomorrow, September 9, at 10:30 PM IST. The Awe Dropping event will bring the new iPhone 17 lineup, upgraded Apple Watches and the latest AirPods Pro.
Apple Watch Series 11 is expected to keep its slim design and with very few subtle changes under the hood, it would do well not to introduce any great shake-up of groundbreaking new health features and except rumor has it that it might throw in some basic blood pressure monitoring that alerts users to a danger point of hypertension but does not really supply whole measurement data.
The device will use Apple's new S11 chip, which retains the architecture of the previous S9 and S10 models, ensuring enhanced smooth performance and energy efficiency. In addition to this and there might also be a possibility for Series 11 to support 5G RedCap connectivity powered by a new MediaTek modem which is beneficial for battery life.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to be the headline model that will market itself as the bestselling adventurer fitness watch and it flaunts a more prominent 422×512-pixel display combined with the same S11 chip manufactured for the Series 11.

This is a feature that could do magic in outdoorsy survival situations. A faster charging system and a redesigned metal back with a larger wireless charging coil have been expected to add onto the overall user experience. The design will likely be a refined continuation of the rugged syntax of the Ultra probably with some new color variants like the recently introduced black finish in 2024.
Apple Watch SE 3 is the poor man's smartwatch by Apple that's back with strong updates after a three-year watch. The screen sizes are expected to make a bit of an increase at around 1.6 and 1.8 inches. It is huge in terms of making visibility better but not comparing with the comfort. Armed with the same powerful S11 processor as its higher-end siblings, the SE 3 is said to have longer battery functionality durability.
Likely health monitoring functionalities incorporated are heart rate and blood oxygen to sleep and respiratory tracking and though lacking some advanced sensors compared to those present in Series 11 and Ultra 3. Fast charging capability can be added to the easy access of users on the go.

AirPods Pro 3 are expected after three years of much anticipation and very few major updates. It would include new H3 chips with improved capabilities for processing power, better noise cancellation and make the whole unit smaller in terms of a charging case.

Real-time language translation, presumably powered by iOS 26, could also possibly launch with these updates in conversation usability. Such improvements make AirPods Pro 3 a pretty elegant accessory for an audiophile and sports enthusiast alike.
