For an event that lasted less than 1 hour and 20 minutes, Apple managed to pack quite a lot of new devices and features into its lineup. Still, some had been expecting a little bit more. Here\u2019s what Apple decided not to include in today\u2019s event, some of which may still come by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

AirPods Pro 3 with infrared camera sensor<\/p>\n

For the past few days, there were rumors<\/a> indicating that Apple would release two AirPods Pro<\/a> 3 versions: the one that was actually announced today, and an infrared camera-enabled version.<\/p>\n

While it is true that the camera-enabled AirPods Pro<\/a> 3 were rumored to be released next year, there was no mention of that during the event. That doesn\u2019t mean the rumor isn\u2019t true, but rather, that Apple may be holding on to it until closer to its actual release date, so it doesn\u2019t preempt any camera-less AirPods Pro<\/a> 3 sales during the Holiday season.<\/p>\n

AirTag 2<\/p>\n

A few months ago, we reported<\/a> that, based on a reliable source, Apple was aiming at a fall release for the AirTag<\/a> 2, possibly around the iPhone event.<\/p>\n

The iPhone event came and went, and obviously, there\u2019s still no AirTag<\/a> 2.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Bloomberg reported<\/a> back in June that \u201cthe new AirTag is nearly ready, having been prepared for launch over the past several months,\u201d following another report saying that said Apple could launch it through a press release, rather than during an event.<\/p>\n

That may very well be the case, unless Apple decides to have another event before the end of the year, which would traditionally happen in October.<\/p>\n

M5 iPad Pro<\/p>\n

Just yesterday<\/a>, the rumor mill started to discuss the possibility of Apple announcing the M5 iPad Pro<\/a> during the Awe Dropping event. That was primarily based on claims made by a leaker account on X, and the fact that the first iPad Pro<\/a> was announced exactly 10 years ago to the date.<\/p>\n

But Apple had other plans. The M5 iPad Pro was a no-show, leaving iPad Pro<\/a> users waiting at least a few more weeks before breaking the piggy bank again.<\/p>\n

Apple Vision Pro 2<\/p>\n

While it would make sense to see the rumored updated Apple Vision Pro be announced alongside new Macs, some still expected to see anything Apple Vision Pro-related during the Awe Dropping event. That wasn\u2019t the case.<\/p>\n

Still, the second-gen Apple Vision Pro is expected<\/a> to be announced later this year, with an updated chip that could either be an M5, according to Ming-Chi Kuo, or an M4, according to Mark Gurman.<\/p>\n

Apple TV 4K with A17 Pro<\/p>\n

Currently, most rumors<\/a> seem to point to the fact that the next-gen Apple TV 4K will get an A17 Pro chip, which theoretically could enable a few Apple Intelligence-related features.<\/p>\n

For a while now, there have been rumors that the device will be announced before the end of the year, but today wasn\u2019t it.<\/p>\n

HomePod mini 2<\/p>\n

Although the HomePod was the first product featured in the very first scene of today\u2019s event, that is pretty much all the screen time it got.<\/p>\n

As with most products from this list, the HomePod mini 2 is still expected<\/a> to launch late this year, although there is little detail on what to expect.<\/p>\n

F1 streaming rights deal<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Liberty Media CEO Derek Chang said<\/a> that \u201c(h)opefully we\u2019ll have something to talk about relatively soon \u201c when asked about the dispute for the U.S. streaming rights of next year\u2019s F1 season.<\/p>\n

While his full quote left little room to interpret it that someone other than Apple was the frontrunner in this particular race, it left a little wiggle room to try and infer when the deal would actually be announced. And while the iPhone event would have made quite a stage for a splashy announcement, it looks like the deal still needs a bit more tweaking before it can be officially announced.<\/p>\n

A black iPhone 17 Pro<\/p>\n

While many users assumed Apple would announce a black option for the iPhone 17 Pro lineup, that wasn\u2019t the case. The lineup is limited to three colors: silver, deep blue, and cosmic orange.<\/p>\n

On the upside, even users who spent years pointing out that Apple didn\u2019t bring fun colors to its iPhone Pro lineup were surprised by how orange the cosmic orange really is.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything Apple did announce<\/p>\n
