Subj : When can we expect the iPhone 17 to be released? Here are my expe To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Wed Sep 03 2025 01:45:07 When can we expect the iPhone 17 to be released? Here are my expert predictions Date: Wed, 03 Sep 2025 00:30:00 +0000 Description: Based on past form and my experience covering Apple devices, I have a very good idea of when the iPhone 17 series will be released. FULL STORY ====================================================================== We now know or at least are almost certain that the iPhone 17 series will be announced on September 9. That includes the iPhone 17 itself along with the iPhone 17 Pro , the iPhone 17 Pro Max , and probably a totally new model that could be called the iPhone 17 Air . Why the near-certainty of this date? Well Apple has sent out invites for an event on September 9, starting at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST, which is 3am September 10 AEST for those in Australia. And while the company hasnt mentioned any iPhone 17 models by name or even mentioned any phones based on past form this timing is exactly when I would expect new iPhones to land, so its incredibly unlikely that they wont be present. But September 9 is just the date when Apple will probably announce these phones not when theyll actually be released. So for information on the likely release date, read on. Expect pre-orders to open on September 12 (Image credit: Jacob Krol/Future) While I can be confident of the September 9 announcement date, Apple hasnt provided any clues as to when the iPhone 17 will go up for pre-order. But I still have a very good idea, as all it takes is looking at Apples previous patterns. You see, the company usually opens pre-orders on the Friday of the week the phones were announced, so with the iPhone 17 series expected on Tuesday, September 9, we fully expect pre-orders to open on Friday, September 12. Theres an outside chance this wont be the case, but the company rarely breaks from this pattern, so Id be surprised if September 12 wasnt the pre-order date. Likely available from September 19 The iPhone 16 Pro (Image credit: Future / Lance Ulanoff) The iPhone 17 release date is probably what youre really here for and thats the date I'm least sure of, but as with the pre-order date we can take a very good guess based on past form. Specifically, the iPhone 17 series will probably start shipping one week after pre-orders open, which in all likelihood means Friday, September 19. That fits Apples typical patterns and is also a date that has been leaked . That means September 19 is probably the day your iPhone 17 will arrive on your doorstep if you pre-ordered it, and that its also likely the day youll be able to walk out of a shop with an iPhone 17 or one of its siblings. That said, even assuming that is the release date, its worth noting that these phones may well sell out, so if you dont put in a pre-order on September 12 then you could be waiting longer.
