When will the iPhone 17 be introduced? Everything we know

Apple announces updates to its phone lineup every fall, but the company often has a hard time keeping details under wraps.

Ahead of the official unveiling of the iPhone 17, we've already heard plenty of hints about what it might be like.

Here's what is known and what we expect.

When will the iPhone 17 series be introduced?

Most of the time, flagship phones are unveiled in September. It's a bit early to reveal specific dates; some years, Apple only gives a week or two between sending out invites and hosting the event. But past years suggest that sometime in September should be when the iPhone 17 will debut.

What will the new iPhone 17 lineup include?

Design leaks suggest that Apple is building an ultra-thin phone, likely to be called the iPhone 17 Air to match Apple's ultra-light laptop designation.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, often a solid source of advanced information about Apple, reported in January that the iPhone 17 Air will be equipped with a base A19 chip and will have only a single camera lens.

It could also use Apple's new internal modem, which was introduced in February in the iPhone 16e, they write. foreign media, the Telegraph reports.

More details about this development may emerge before September, but this is what is known for now.

Each new lineup includes a base model, but over the years, Apple has surprised us with the variety of phones it offers.

There will most likely be an iPhone 17 and an iPhone 17 Pro.

Apple has also committed to the size-matters philosophy and has built an iPhone Pro Max option with an even larger screen and better battery life; the 17th series will likely have one as well.

The iPhone 17 Air appears to be ready to take the place of a possible iPhone 17 Plus.

What will iOS 19 be like?

Jon Prosser at Front Page Tech released a video in January showing how a redesigned camera app could hint at more drastic changes coming to the operating system in the upcoming iPhone lineup.

Earlier in March, Bloomberg also backed up the claim that an iOS fix is ​​in the works.

Otherwise, there hasn't been a noticeable update to iOS for several generations and it could be exciting to see Apple do this.

And while we don't have any official leaks, it seems pretty certain that Apple will continue to offer its Apple Intelligence suite.

Promised updates to Siri that aim to take advantage of AI tools are still awaited, so ideally they will be fully completed and integrated by the time the 17 series arrives.

The company typically shares more details about its future plans during its Worldwide Developers Conference.

WWDC 2025 will most likely take place in early June, so expect to hear more this summer. /Telegraph/
