Apple officially announced its special “AWE Droping” event for September 9, where we will see our first overview of the iPhone 17 range. As usual, the company has revealed nothing beyond the date and the slogan, but the invitation illustrations and the history of Apple Easter eggs give us some strong advice on what is happening.
Here are five points to remember from the invitation of Apple events which could simply confirm details on the iPhone 17 and beyond.
A breathtaking iPhone design arrives
This year’s slogan, “Awe Droping”, seems to tease something visually striking and breathtaking if you want. For months, rumors stressed that Apple introduced a new model of iPhone 17 air to replace the more unpopular model. The iPhone 17 should mark the most radical change in the design of the iPhone from the iPhone X and launch an overhaul of the three -year iPhone.
If Apple really wants to drop the jaws, a radically more thin iPhone design certainly adapts to the bill.

The iPhone 17 range will have new bold color options
As indicated exclusively by Macworld, Apple has planned many new colors for iPhone 17 models, ranging from a new iPhone 17 pro in orange to various shades of blue. If you were not sure of new colors before, the illustrations for the invitation of events seem to be a clear confirmation that rumors are right.
According to our sources, the air of the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 will be available in a light shade of blue. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max will come in dark blue and orange. More traditional colors, such as black and white, are also expected.
Well, the Apple logo illustrated in the event essentially presents all the new colors we have mentioned, which is a fairly clear sign that it is indeed the new colors of the iPhone 17 range. So you can start to determine which you want now.
The iPhone 17 Pro gets a new cooling system
According to rumors, the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max will include a new steam chamber cooling system to maintain the device at an optimal temperature even during the execution of intensive activities such as games. This guarantees not only greater comfort when you keep the phone in your hand, but also helps maintain advanced performance.
Interestingly, if you look at the animation of the Apple logo in the work of art, it looks like a heat card suspicious, with shades of red and fresh blue whirlwind on the edges. Could this be Apple confirming the new cooling system for iPhone 17 pro models?
Will the iPhone 17 get a new dynamic wallpaper?

New colorful wallpapers arrive
Sometimes Apple’s event work means only one thing: new wallpapers. And it may be the case this year. For example, the stylized Apple logo created to promote the September 2023 event was based on the wallpaper shipped with the iPhone 15 Pro.
Perhaps this year’s iPhones will include dark wallpapers with a thermal cartography effect, or swirling blue and orange. Or something interactive like the image on Apple.com. Go try it – launch your finger, your mouse or your apple pencil on the Apple logo and the colors will transform and mix you with your movements.
iOS 26 and liquid glass are a big problem
Speaking of the logo of the interactive event, while you slide your finger, it is difficult not to see that the effect looks a lot like what is happening when you slide your finger on the liquid glass elements in iOS 26.
Apple generally publishes new versions of iOS to the public the week following its September event, and this year should not be different. Perhaps the invitation is nothing more than a teasing for the new interface to come in everyone’s iPhones in a few weeks.
In fact, this week, Mark Gurman de Bloomberg reported that liquid glass is more than a simple overhaul in 2025. It is the start of a 3 -year iPhone supercycle that will include a new folding phone and will end with the launch of the 20th anniversary iPhone in 2027. This phone should have curved glass that imitates the evolution of the liquid glass interface in the next three years. Thus, Apple would certainly want to draw attention to the liquid glass now.

Mark your calendars
Apple’s invitations are always carefully designed, and it is no exception. New colors with the cooling teaser similar to a thermal card, there are a lot of hiding places on sight. We will know it with certainty on September 9, but if the story is a guide, Apple just gave us a fairly good overview of what is happening.
Of course, Macworld will also have a complete coverage leading to the speech and throughout the event. So stay listening!
