Apple Devices Rumored but Missing from the “Awe Dropping” Event
Ohana Magazine – During Apple’s highly anticipated “Awe Dropping” event, the company unveiled the iPhone 17 Series, iPhone Air, AirPods Pro 3, and new Apple Watch models, including Watch Series 11, Watch SE 3, and Watch Ultra 3. However, many other rumored devices were noticeably absent. This sparked speculation among fans and tech enthusiasts.
Why Were Some Devices Left Out?
Leading up to the event, multiple sources had predicted the launch of AirTag 2, Vision Pro 2, HomePod mini 2, a new Apple TV, and the M5 iPad Pro. Despite the hype, Apple did not introduce these products. The likely reason is strategic: Apple often reserves spotlight moments for flagship devices and may prefer separate announcements for complementary products.

Products That Didn’t Appear
Here’s a list of devices that were expected but didn’t debut:
- AirTag 2
- Vision Pro 2
- HomePod mini 2
- Apple TV (2025 model)
- M5 iPad Pro
Fans are hopeful that Apple will reveal these products in later events or through press releases in the coming months.
Spotlight on the iPhone Air
One surprise from the event was the release of the iPhone Air. While it delivered on some expected specs such as a slim body and the Apple A19 Pro chip, it also received criticism. Concerns include its smaller battery size, thinner bezels, and a downgraded GPU core.
Interestingly, Apple’s decision to rename the device from “iPhone 17 Air” to just “iPhone Air” has led many to believe it is replacing the “Plus” series in the lineup, although Apple hasn’t officially confirmed this.

Conclusion: What’s Next for Apple?
The “Awe Dropping” event answered many questions but also left several in the air. Apple may be holding back additional product releases to avoid overshadowing its core lineup. As always, enthusiasts will be watching closely for any updates or standalone announcements in the weeks to come.
