iPhone 17 Release Date
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series in early to mid-September 2025, consistent with its traditional annual launch cycle. Multiple sources suggest the announcement will occur between September 9 and September 13, 2025, with pre-orders likely opening soon after and retail availability by the end of the month.
iPhone 17 Series: All Models
The iPhone 17 lineup will feature four distinct models:
iPhone 17
iPhone 17 Air (a new, ultra-slim model)
iPhone 17 Pro
iPhone 17 Pro Max (also referred to as iPhone 17 Ultra in some reports)
Apple is discontinuing the "Plus" model due to lackluster sales, replacing it with the new "Air" variant.
