When will the iPhone 17 be announced? iPhone 17 release date and details

Apple 's fall event, where it unveils its new iPhone models, appears to be following its usual schedule this year. Reports suggest the iPhone 17 series announcement will take place during the week of September 8th.

Apple typically holds its promotional event the week after Labor Day in the United States. We also know that the company generally prefers Tuesdays. However, in some years, it has held events on Mondays or Wednesdays.

Considering this information, the most likely event is September 9th or 10th. Apple has traditionally avoided September 11th and doesn't hold events on Fridays. Therefore, a date like September 12th is unlikely. Looking at Apple's September event dates over the past decade, we see the following dates.

2024: September 9 (Monday)

2023: September 12 (Tuesday)

2022: September 7 (Wednesday)

2021: September 14 (Tuesday)

2020: October 13 (Tuesday)

2019: September 10 (Tuesday)

2018: September 12 (Wednesday)

2017: September 12 (Tuesday)

2016: September 7 (Wednesday)

2015: September 9 (Wednesday)

According to this table, 9 of Apple's last 10 iPhone launches appear to have taken place in September. In 2020, they were postponed to October due to the pandemic. It also appears that September launches mostly took place in the second week of the month. This gives us a clearer date. So, what announcements will we see at this presentation, besides the iPhone 17 series?

NOT ONLY IPHONE 17, BUT ALSO OTHER DEVICES WILL BE ANNOUNCED

Along with the iPhone 17, Apple is expected to unveil the new Apple Watch Series 11 , AirPods updates, and some new accessories at its September presentation. We've long been seeing rumors that some home devices, particularly those with Home support, might be announced. It's possible Apple will announce these new devices in September.

Major updates to the MacBook Pro were previously slated for early 2026. Apple typically holds a separate Mac-focused event in October. However, we may see the first iPad models featuring the company's new chip in September. iPad Pro models with the M5 processor could be announced alongside the iPhone 17 series.

While official details haven't been released yet, the iPhone 17 is expected to feature innovations such as a thinner design, improved camera systems, next-generation AI capabilities, and a more powerful processor. More information will emerge as the launch event approaches. Indeed, we already know some of the design. The company is expected to make significant changes to the rear camera array.

In short, we can say that Apple will continue its September launch tradition and once again unveil the new iPhones in the second week of September. The iPhone 17 series will likely be released during the week of September 20th.
