Apple Unveils New iPhones, Watches, and AirPods—While Older Models Drop in Price

On september eighth, 2025, AppleVis.com—a leading site for blind and low-vision Apple users—recapped Apple’s latest product announcements. The event brought exciting news for tech enthusiasts eager to experience the newest devices, but it also opened opportunities for those who are budget-conscious. Each new launch typically means older models see a price drop, making this one of the best times to upgrade without overspending.

Key Announcements at Apple’s “Awe Dropping” Event

Apple introduced its iPhone 17 lineup—including the base model, Pro, Pro Max, and the ultra-thin iPhone Air. These devices feature brighter displays, longer battery life, faster chips, and a stronger Ceramic Shield coating for improved durability. All models now start at 256GB of storage.

The Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3 gained blood pressure monitoring, sleep scoring, improved battery life, and tougher screens. The more affordable Apple Watch SE 3 also saw major updates, including support for wrist gestures, 5G connectivity, and fast charging—making it a compelling option for many users.

AirPods Pro 3 received one of the biggest upgrades: twice as strong noise cancellation, redesigned tips for a better fit, longer battery life, and innovative features such as live language translation and built-in fitness tracking.

Why This Matters for Your Budget

While the latest devices are impressive, you don’t have to buy them to benefit. With Apple’s announcement, older iPhones, Watches, and AirPods are now more affordable. If cost has been a barrier, or if you’re simply looking for improved performance and battery life without all the latest bells and whistles, last year’s models may be the smartest buy.

Looking Ahead

The latest versions of iOS, watchOS, and macOS will roll out on September 15, bringing software updates to both new and older devices. Whether you’re ready to splurge on Apple’s newest offerings or score a deal on discounted models, this season offers something for everyone.
