Overview

  • Apple is expected to introduce four iPhone 17 models, adding an ultra‑thin iPhone 17 Air that would replace the Plus.
  • Photos from a Mexican retailer selling iPhone 17 cases early appear to corroborate a redesigned rear camera layout, including a horizontal bar on Pro variants.
  • Reports point to A19/A19 Pro chips, 120 Hz displays across the lineup, a 24 MP front camera, and Pro models with 48 MP rear sensors and 256 GB base storage.
  • Leaked pricing suggests a U.S. range starting around $799 for the base model, with higher prices for Air and Pro versions compared with last year.
  • Preorders are widely expected to open Friday, Sept. 12, with general sales targeted for Friday, Sept. 19, pending Apple’s on‑stage confirmation; updates to Apple Watch, AirPods, iOS 26 and Apple Intelligence are also anticipated.
