Apple usually sends out invites in late August, but history and habit suggest this year’s iPhone event will fall on September 9.

Apple is set to launch the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air next month. Thinner than the Galaxy S25 Edge, it features a 6.7-inch 120Hz OLED display, A19 chip, 48MP camera, and starts at ₹90,000 in India. Here's what to expect.

One recent leak points to Apple holding the iPhone 17 event on Sept. 9. German site iPhone-Ticker claims that it gained access to internal documents from a local carrier, and even though the sourcing cannot be confirmed, that release date lines up with existing rumors and expert opinion.

From a thinner design to an upgraded selfie camera, here are five totally new features reportedly coming this year.

The iPhone 17 is reportedly rumored to be announced in September, meaning Californians may be just weeks away from their next upgrade. Last year, Apple introduced its iPhone 16 range on Sept. 9, with the new phones ready for pre-order later that week. In September of 2023, Apple unveiled its iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

FineWoven was terrible, and a leaker with a very mixed track record says that there is a new material that will replace it in iPhone 17 cases.

Commentary: As someone who has been writing about the iPhone for over a decade, I'm ready to see Apple step it up in this perhaps unexpected way.
