AAPL--
Analysts anticipate a range of new products at the event, including four iPhone 17 models (Pro, Pro Max, Air, and base) running iOS 26. The ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air, priced $100 higher than the current Plus model, is expected to debut on September 19, featuring AI enhancements, a new Apple Watch, AirPods, and improved Siri integration [2]. The iPhone 17 lineup is projected to grow shipments by 1% year-over-year to 235 million units in fiscal 2026.
Market reactions to the iPhone 17 launch are expected to be muted, with investor enthusiasm for the thinner design being subdued compared to past form-factor-driven cycles. Bank of America Securities analyst Wamsi Mohan maintained a Buy rating on Apple with a price forecast of $250, cautioning that iPhone events often trigger a short-term "sell the news" reaction. However, Mohan expects a strong Apple Intelligence demo or surprise pricing to potentially improve stock performance.
