iPhone 17 Series
- Thin & Light Model: The speaker anticipates a new, thinner and lighter iPhone model, potentially named "iPhone Air," aligning with the current trend among smartphone manufacturers. This model might replace the iPhone Plus, targeting users who want a large screen and lightweight design with good battery life. The speaker recalls the positive experience with the thin iPhone 6 Plus, emphasizing that advancements in chip power efficiency could compensate for a potentially smaller battery in the new thin model.
- Standard, Pro, and Pro Max Models: The lineup is expected to include standard iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max models. The Pro and Pro Max versions will likely feature top-tier cameras and the most powerful chip.
- Screen Size: The speaker hopes for an increased screen size on the standard iPhone 17, bringing it closer to the Pro model's screen size for a better user experience, especially regarding keyboard usability and display area.
- Chip: The speaker is excited about the Apple A19 chip, focusing on its power efficiency and performance improvements. He also wonders if the iPhone 17 will feature Apple's own 5G modem, potentially the Apple C1 chip, which he believes is already being used in the iPhone 16.
Apple Watch
- Apple Watch Series 11: The speaker expects a minor upgrade for the Apple Watch Series 11, focusing on chip improvements and battery life enhancements, as the Series 10 already had a significant redesign. Apple typically introduces major design changes every 2-3 years.
- Apple Watch Ultra 3: A more significant update is anticipated for the Apple Watch Ultra 3, focusing on making it lighter and more comfortable to wear. The speaker notes that the differences between the first and second-generation Ultra models were minimal, making this a good time for a more substantial upgrade to better compete with sports and outdoor-focused smartwatches like Garmin and Suunto.
AirPods
- AirPods (Standard): No updates are expected for the standard AirPods, as the AirPods 4 were released last year.
- AirPods Pro: The speaker is unsure if Apple will update the AirPods Pro, as the current AirPods Pro 2 still offers excellent features.
- AirPods Max: An update to the AirPods Max is possible, especially since the previous update only included a USB-C port.
Other Expectations
- 120Hz Display: The speaker hopes that all iPhone 17 models will feature a 120Hz display, addressing a long-standing disadvantage compared to the Pro models. He emphasizes the noticeable difference in smoothness between his iPhone 16 Plus (60Hz) and his Pro model (120Hz).
Conclusion:
The speaker is looking forward to the potential innovations in the iPhone 17 series, particularly the thin and light model and the advancements in the Apple A19 chip. He also anticipates updates to the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and possibly the AirPods Max. He plans to attend the launch event, provide hands-on reviews, and share his experiences with the new products.
