    iPhone 17 event confirmed for September 9 with an “Awe dropping” tagline

    Apple has confirmed that it will hold an annual event to unveil the iPhone 17 lineup and other new products on Tuesday, September 9.

    The event will be held in an online-only format, with a pre-taped keynote available for everyone to watch online and limited in-person attendance for select members of the media at the Apple Park headquarters in Cupertino, California.

    The event will kick off at 10am PT / 1pm ET, according to images of the official invitation shared on social media. The invitation shows an Apple logo and an “Awe dropping” tagline. You will be able to watch a live stream on Apple’s website, its YouTube channel, and through the ‌Apple TV‌ app.

    Apple to unveil iPhone 17 and more on September 19

    The September 2025 event will revolve around the upcoming iPhone 17, featuring a redesigned bar-shaped rear camera module and Apple A19 and A19 Pro chips. 120Hz ProMotion displays could be standard across the lineup instead of being limited to the iPhone Pros, like before.

    Apple’s 2025 smartphone lineup is expected to comprise the base iPhone 17 and an all-new ultra-thin model featuring a 6.6-inch display, Apple’s C1 modem and a single rear camera (replacing the iPhone 17 Plus in the lineup), as well as the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

    The company will likely open pre-orders for the new iPhones on Friday, September 12, and shipments are likely to commence on the following Friday, September 19.

    Apple is also expected to unveil some new watches and earbuds alongside new phones, with the Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Apple Watch SE 3 all expected to debut at the event. The last time Apple updated the regular, Ultra and SE watch models at the same time was three years ago.

    Another likely possibility for the event includes upgraded AirPods Pro. It’s been three years since Apple released the second-generation AirPods Pro, so a refresh is a bit overdue. Recent leaks and rumors suggested that the AirPods Pro 3 are just around the corner, bringing design tweaks like shorter stems and a smaller charging case with a capacitive pairing button instead of a mechanical one.

    Nomad launches Apple Watch Tempo band, focusing on a lightweight minimal design for active lifestyles

    If one thing’s clear to us, it’s that the team over at Nomad likes to design Apple Watch wrist bands. After all, the brand continues to come out with new colors and designs on a regular basis, like clockwork.

    Nomad’s latest creation is a lightweight FKM rubber band called the Tempo band that differs from the brand’s traditional Sport band because of its streamlined profile, gently chamfered edges, and minimal aesthetic.

    Being made from the same materials as the Sport band, Nomad’s Tempo band enjoys all the same benefits, including being 100% waterproof and comfortable for Summer activities, such as outdoor workouts where you’re liable for sweating.

    Unlike the Sport band, which Nomad designed for two sizes of the Apple Watch, the brand says they’ve made three different versions of the Tempo band that are optimized for whatever Apple Watch you might have. Those include:

    • 42mm – optimized for the smallest current Apple Watch model
    • 46mm – optimized for the largest current Apple Watch model
    • 49mm – optimized specifically for the Apple Watch Ultra

    As for colors, Nomad’s Tempo band is available in four different options, including:

    • Lumen – a bright neon green
    • Dusk – an unsaturated dark blue
    • Crush – a vibrant orange/red
    • Black – need we say more…?

    Regardless of which model of Apple Watch you have, or what color you prefer, the Tempo band is available from Nomad’s website starting today for $49.

    Anyone looking for a sleek and minimalist-friendly Sport-style band with a custom Nomad-designed metal closure pin will want to check out the Tempo band, as its less bulky aesthetic combines well with an active lifestyle where you’re always moving and prefer staying as lightweight as possible.
