Apple iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air Release Date
Digest more
While this leak is confirmed to be fake, the September 9 date mentioned might be accurate. It has previously appeared in leaks from well-connected insiders.
As is typical with the feature gap between standard and pro models, rumors suggest the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max (as well as the Air) will get the newest A19 chip, while the regular iPhone 17 will get the same A18 chip that powered last year's iPhone 16.
Tech media outlets seem to agree on Sept. 9 for the 2025 reveal date. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models are available in five bold colors: black, white, pink, teal and ultramarine. The iPhone 17 series could be coming in early September.
Pre-orders usually open at 8 a.m. EST/5 p.m. PST, so unless you're in Europe, you'll need to be up early to stake your claim on one. Otherwise, you might be in for a longer wait, as popular models and colors frequently come in and out of stock, sometimes leaving users to wait months for their phone to arrive.
Apple is expected to change its release format with the rumored iPhone 18. Reports suggest that Apple will only release higher-end models in fall 2026 -- iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, Air and a rumored new foldable iPhone -- and release the rest of the line in winter 2027.
iPhone 14 series: Announcement on September 7, 2022; Pre-order on September 9; Release on September 16. These patterns suggest that September is a safe bet for iPhone enthusiasts looking to get their hands on the latest technology.
