Emerged New Schedule for the Release of Apple's iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro
The much-awaited iPhone 17 series is set to be unveiled on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, according to multiple credible reports and predictions by tech experts. This aligns with internal information from German carriers and predictions by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman [1][2][3].
Apple traditionally holds its new iPhone announcements in the second week of September, usually on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. The September 9 event date fits well within this tradition, and Apple typically sends out press invitations about a week before the event, possibly around September 2, 2025 [1][3].
Following the event unveiling, Apple usually opens pre-orders on the Friday immediately after the announcement. Thus, if the unveiling occurs on or around Tuesday, Sept. 9, pre-orders for the iPhone 17 series are expected to start on Friday, September 12, 2025. The official release via retail and delivery is anticipated to occur on Friday, September 19, 2025 [1][2][3].
The iPhone 17 series lineup is expected to include the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max [1][2][3]. Forbes recently reported a prediction of $50 price rises for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Air in a new leak [4].
It's worth noting that Apple might avoid the week of Sept. 3 due to the large-scale consumer electronics show, IFA, happening in Berlin that week. The actual release date for the iPhones may not be on Sept. 3 due to this event [1]. Additionally, if any of the handsets are delayed, pre-orders for those models will open later.
In previous years, Apple has staggered the release dates of its products, even though the unveiling happened on the same day. The iPhone XR arrived several weeks after the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max in 2018, and the iPhone 12 mini landed almost a month after the iPhone 12 in 2020 [1].
The iPhone 17 Air, a new design, may have a later release date compared to other models. IFA is on the same scale as or larger than the annual CES in Las Vegas, and if it clashes with the iPhone release, it could cause a delay for the iPhone 17 Air [1]. If not Sept. 3, Sept. 12 or 19 remain potential release dates.
If the release is in the first week of September, it is unlikely to be on the Tuesday, due to Labor Day. The Apple keynote revealing the phones is predicted to be on Tuesday, Sept. 9, but one day either side is also likely [1].
