Apple's anticipated release dates for the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro have reportedly been revised, revealing fresh scheduling details.
The tech world is buzzing with anticipation as Apple prepares to unveil its next generation of iPhones, the iPhone 17 Series, in September 2025. The most probable date for the announcement event is Tuesday, September 9, according to internal carrier information and predictions by Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman[1][3].
If the event goes ahead as planned, pre-orders for the new devices will likely start on Friday, September 12, following the announcement[1][2][3]. The official release date is predicted to be Friday, September 19, ten days after the announcement and one week after pre-orders begin[1][2][3].
The iPhone 17 Series is expected to include four models: the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air (a new variant replacing the Plus model), iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max[2][3].
Historically, Apple has issued press invitations about a week prior to the event, so official confirmation is likely in early September 2025[3]. However, the schedule is not officially confirmed by Apple yet.
One factor that could influence the unveiling date is the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin, which takes place during the same week and is on the same scale as or bigger than the annual CES in Las Vegas[4]. If Apple decides to avoid competing with the noise of the IFA event, the iPhone 17 Series could be unveiled a day earlier or later[4].
Senior editor at CNET, Patrick Holland, has suggested that if the event is in the first week of September, it could be on Wednesday, September 3, or Tuesday, September 9[5]. Tiffany Connors, a writer for Cnet, has also discussed the possible variations in the iPhone unveiling date[5].
If the event is in the second week of September, the release date will be on Friday, September 19. However, if it is in the first week, the new phones will not be released on the Tuesday due to Labor Day[1]. The exact release date for the Apple iPhone 17 Series beyond Friday, September 19, is not yet confirmed.
Stay tuned for official announcements from Apple in the coming weeks!
