We’ll get to know more about the phone at the Apple Event.

iOS 26 update: Following the introduction of the new iOS 26 update at WWDC 2025, Apple may soon announce the stable rollout for the new generation iPhone OS. The update includes a new Liquid Glass UI, bringing transparent and glass-like elements across the user experience. This will be a major iOS revamp after iOS 7. In addition, it will introduce upgrades to Apple Intelligence features, new experiences, and more.

Apple Watch Series 11: Apart from new iPhones, Apple is also expected to introduce the new Apple Watch Series 11 with noticeable upgrades. The smartwatch will likely be powered by the S11 chip, and could bring new features like Sleep Score, hypertension detection, and more, making it smarter and more efficient.

Apple Watch Ultra 3: Lastly, for fitness enthusiasts, Apple is also ramping up the Apple Watch Ultra series with a new-gen watch. The smartwatch may come with a wide-angle OLED display that could offer a faster refresh rate. It is expected to be powered by the S11 chip, offering higher accuracy for fitness and health tracking.
