Apple officially unveiled its latest products during the highly anticipated iPhone 17 keynote on September 9, 2025.
The event introduced the iPhone 17 lineup, a new ultra-slim model called the iPhone Air, updated Apple Watches, and the long-awaited AirPods Pro 3.
The highlight was the iPhone Air, Apple’s thinnest iPhone ever at just 5.6mm. Positioned as part of a multi-year redesign strategy, the Air aims to redefine Apple’s smartphone form factor. Alongside it, the standard iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro also made their debut with upgraded cameras and design refinements.
