Apple typically launches its next iPhone models in the first part of September each year, but a fresh leak has revealed the expected date for release. The forthcoming series is expected to have four distinct models: the basic iPhone 17, the slimmer iPhone 17 Air, the premium iPhone 17 Pro, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The upcoming iPhone 17 will receive a big design change, with a redesigned rectangular camera module, relocated flash, a larger display, improved camera quality, and more.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple will most likely launch the iPhone 17 Series in the second week of September. The next iPhone range is expected to be announced and available for purchase between September 8 and 10. Apple generally launches new iPhones following Labour Day, which is on September 1. This coincides with the company’s regular trend, as Apple has revealed new iPhones in the second week of September in nine of the previous ten years.
Industry experts believe the most likely dates are Tuesday, September 9, or Wednesday, September 10. Preorders might begin on Friday, September 12, with retail availability scheduled for Friday, September 19.

The iPhone 17 series is expected to be released in early September 2025, possibly featuring the iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max models. As per reports, Apple suppliers have produced a new anti-reflective glass with high productivity, indicating that mass production is feasible. Ceramic Shield glass and an oleophobic coating that resists fingerprints are features of the most recent iPhone models. The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models, which now have Ceramic Shield glass with an oleophobic coating that prevents fingerprints, are anticipated to be the only versions to get the new coating. The present Ceramic Shield may stay in the standard iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 Air.
Apple plans to add up to 12GB of RAM to all iPhone 17 variants, offering fast wired and wireless charging, longer battery life, and improved speed and efficiency. The A19 Pro Bionic chip may power the iPhone 17 Pro, while the A18 chip, used in the iPhone 16 series, is likely to be retained in the basic iPhone 17 and 17 Air.
Images of the iPhone 17 Pro dummy unit, which includes a new back camera design akin to the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, have been leaked by Apple tipster Majin Bu. The module has expanded in size and has been placed in an extensive strip. The phone also has a LiDAR scanner and an LED light.

According to Jeff Pu, all iPhone 17 series models will have a 24MP front-facing camera, which is an upgrade from the iPhone 16 model’s 12MP selfie camera. Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst for Apple, supports these predictions. Pu announced in October 2024 that the iPhone 17 Pro would feature a 48MP telephoto sensor with 3.5x optical zoom and a revamped horizontal triple-lens rear camera system.
