September: A Month of Exciting Tech Announcements

As we step into September, tech enthusiasts are in for a treat with a lineup of highly anticipated gadget announcements. Kicking off the month is Apple’s “Awe Dropping” event on September 9, where the tech giant is set to unveil the iPhone 17 family of phones, new Apple Watches, and potentially the AirPods Pro 3. However, Apple’s event isn’t the only highlight; right after Labor Day, IFA 2025 will take place in Berlin, promising a flurry of new tech innovations.

IFA, known for being a smaller counterpart to CES, is a significant event on the tech calendar. This year, it coincides with Samsung’s virtual Unpacked event, scheduled for September 4 at 5:30 a.m. ET. The event will be streamed live on Samsung.com, YouTube, and the Samsung Newsroom. During this event, Samsung is expected to showcase the “next evolution of Galaxy Tab,” hinting at exciting developments in their tablet lineup.

To build anticipation, Samsung has already launched a reservation page offering a limited-time promotion: customers can receive $50 in “Samsung Credit” for future purchases and up to $800 off a new Android tablet when they trade in an eligible device. To take advantage of this offer, reservations must be made by September 3, and the Galaxy Tab must be purchased between September 4 and October 5.

The upcoming Galaxy Tab is expected to feature successors to last year’s Galaxy S10+ and S10 Ultra. While some may question the necessity of annual refreshes for tablets, Samsung, like many consumer tech companies, is driven by market demands and the need to boost quarterly earnings. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the new tablets named Galaxy Tab S11+ and Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, following the established naming convention.

One of the most intriguing aspects to watch for during the Unpacked event is whether any of the new tablets will sport the impressive 14.6-inch screen of the Tab S10 Ultra—or perhaps even larger. The trend towards larger displays raises the question: how big is too big for a tablet? As these devices evolve into what can only be described as oversized dinner trays, it’s clear that manufacturers are pushing the boundaries of tablet design.

Although Samsung’s next Unpacked event will be virtual, Gizmodo will be on hand to cover all the noteworthy announcements from IFA 2025, which runs from September 5 to September 9. With press days on September 3 and 4, tech enthusiasts can expect a torrent of product announcements and innovations that will shape the future of consumer technology. Keep your eyes peeled for what promises to be an exhilarating month in the tech world!
