Overview

• Apple’s Sept. 9 keynote is confirmed, with reports pointing to pre‑orders on Sept. 12 and retail availability around Sept. 19 based on Apple’s usual cadence.
• The lineup is widely expected to include iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max, with the new 5.5mm‑thin Air replacing Plus and targeting a 6.6‑inch ProMotion display and Apple’s C1 modem.
• Pro models are tipped to adopt an aluminum frame, a wide rear camera “runway” bar, and a new lower‑back glass cutout dedicated to wireless charging, with a slightly lower Apple logo position.
• Camera rumors highlight a 24MP front camera across the range and Pro‑level upgrades such as a 48MP telephoto, a variable aperture system, dual front‑and‑rear video capture, and possibly higher optical zoom.
• Analysts and leaks suggest price increases for some models, including a TrendForce estimate of $1,299 for the 17 Pro Max (256GB), while full specifications and pricing remain unconfirmed until Apple’s event.
