There will be no foldable iPhone on Tuesday, Sept. 9—that’s supposedly not coming until next year—but there will be four new iPhone 17 phones announced at Apple’s “Awe Dropping” event. Gizmodo’s own Senior Editor of Consumer Editor, Raymond Wong, and our amazing Social Media Editor, Adriano Contreras, will be parachuting into the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park to play with the anticipated iPhone 17, 17 Air, and 17 Pros (especially the orange one).
New iPhones won’t be the only thing they’ll be getting their hands on. They’ll be among the first to also check out the new Apple Watches (Series 11 and Ultra 3), as well as any new AirPods (Pro 3?). Tim Cook could also pull a “one more thing…” if he wants. He’s CEO; he can do whatever he so desires. Wall Street would go wild if he invoked Steve Jobs’ favorite phrase.
The keynote starts at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT, but we’ll have started long before that. So grab your favorite beverage and get down in the comments section to let us know what you’re most excited to see Apple announce. Or, you know, what really grinds your gears. Millions of people love new iPhones—they stop their whole lives to see what’s new—but also, Android is doing some interesting stuff. Have you seen Samsung’s gorgeous, folding Galaxy Z Fold 7? How about Google’s AI-stuffed Pixel 10 phones? At the end of the day, the only person who should care about your phone choice is yourself. Don’t let others bully you into any ecosystem.
