We’re less than 24 hours away from Apple’s “Awe dropping” event, where it will announce the new iPhone 17 lineup, Apple Watch Series 11, new AirPods Pro, and more.
Head below for our roundup of all the last-minute rumors about what to expect from these new Apple products…
iPhone 17 accessories
One of the more perplexing rumors to me throughout the iPhone 17 cycle has been the so-called “Crossbody Strap” accessory. A new image posted by Sonny Dickson last night seems to add more fuel to this fire. Presumably, this Crossbody Strap will attach to the new iPhone 17 cases from Apple, which will reportedly include lanyard connectors on the bottom.
Also note: the bright orange color shown in this image sure seems like it would pair perfectly with the rumored orange iPhone 17 Pro.
The accessory story for the iPhone 17 sounds like it’ll be quite interesting:
AirPods Pro 3
After some skepticism, AirPods Pro 3 seem like a lock for this week’s iPhone 17 event. Ming-Chi Kuo and Instant Digital both say the long-awaited refresh to AirPods Pro is set for this week.
One wrinkle: Apple apparently has two versions of AirPods Pro 3 planned. One version is coming this week and will include things like a heart rate monitoring sensor and an H3 chip. A higher-end version of AirPods Pro 3, however, is reportedly set for 2026 with infrared cameras.
