Following the
announcement of Apple's upcoming "Awe dropping" event, on this week's episode of
The MacRumors Show we talk through all of the new accessories rumored to debut alongside the
iPhone 17 lineup.
We take a closer look at Apple's invite for "Awe dropping;" the design
could hint at the iPhone 17's new thermal system with vapor chamber cooling and a more heat-conductive aluminum chassis. The orange and blue also likely hints at the purported orange color option for the
iPhone 17 Pro and the blue color finish for the
iPhone 17 Air.
New “
Liquid Silicone" cases are rumored to debut alongside the iPhone 17, as well as more premium "
TechWoven" cases. TechWoven is expected to
take the place of Apple's previous FineWoven and leather cases, but with improved durability. The iPhone 17 Air could also get a Smart Battery and an
iPhone 4-style
bumper case. All of the new cases are expected to feature support for a "
Crossbody Strap," a new
magnetic lanyard accessory.
Meanwhile, the long-awaited
AirPods Pro 3 could arrive at the event. The new model is expected to feature heart-rate monitoring, improved active noise cancellation, tweaked earbuds, and a slightly smaller charging case with a hidden capacitive pairing button. The iPhone 17 Pro may also offer
reverse wireless charging for AirPods.
