When Is iPhone 17 Coming Out?
Apple's iPhone 17 series is expected to debut in September 2025. This release follows Apple's recent trend of introducing new iPhone models annually in the fall.
To unveil the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, Apple is expected to hold its annual iPhone announcement event during the week of September 8, 2025, with September 9 or 10 emerging as the most likely dates.
Going on previous years, this suggests the new devices could become available to buy in stores and online by on Friday, September 20.
iPhone 17: What to Expect
The iPhone 17 series is anticipated to bring a host of new features and enhancements. Here are just a few of the changes that we are expecting:
- Display size for the regular iPhone 17 will be 6.3 inches, up from 6.1 inches.
- 120 Hz ProMotion displays for all models.
- Introduction of a super‑thin "Air" variant, replacing Plus model.
- Pro models will adopt a half‑glass, half‑aluminum chassis and a redesigned horizontal camera bump.
- Apple will roll out its first in‑house 5G modem chip in the iPhone 17 Air, while all models will include Wi‑Fi 7 support.
- Camera improvements: 24MP front selfie camera across the lineup, while the Pro models could get three 48MP rear cameras and potentially 8K video support.
- Higher memory: Pro and Air variants to include 12GB RAM, while the standard model remains at 8GB.
- Battery updates supporting up to 35W wired and Qi2 25W wireless charging support.
- Thermal system upgrade in Pro models for more sustained performance.
Apart from the iPhone 17 series, Apple's fall event this year is also expected to see the announcement of the Apple Watch SE 3, Apple Watch Series 11, and Apple Watch Ultra 3. The company typically issues press invitations roughly one week in advance, so we should have official confirmation fairly soon.
