Overview

• Apple has confirmed a September 9 keynote at Apple Park, where the iPhone 17 series is expected to be announced.
• A leaked South Korean carrier document outlines key specs: a 6.3-inch iPhone 17 with A19 and 8GB RAM; a 5.5mm‑thin iPhone 17 Air with a 6.6-inch 120Hz display, single 48MP rear camera, 2,800mAh battery, and Apple's C1 modem; and Pro models on A19 Pro with 12GB RAM, vapor‑chamber cooling, and up to 1TB storage.
• Bloomberg reports the Pro models switch to an aluminum frame, add a wide, top‑spanning rear camera housing, and feature a new lower‑back glass area dedicated to wireless charging.
• Third‑party case makers including Spigen, Dbrand, and Pitaka are showing consistent cutouts for the Pro camera bar and the Air’s single‑lens design, suggesting the external hardware details are largely set.
• Camera and display upgrades are widely expected, including 24MP front sensors across the lineup, a 48MP telephoto on Pros, a possible variable aperture and dual front/rear video capture, with pricing still the subject of unconfirmed estimates and new Apple Watch and AirPods updates also anticipated.
