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.

Just when it seemed clear exactly what was coming when for the new iPhones, a new part of the puzzle has become apparent.

Apple is preparing for its next major smartphone launch, and attention is already turning toward the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The device will lead the iPhone 17 series, which is expected to include multiple models such as the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and the top-tier iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The final version of iOS 26 will drop next month. But you can try an early version of the software on an iPhone right now.

Along with the iPhone 17 lineup, Apple is expected to announce updates to the Apple Watch, AirPods, Apple TV, and HomePod.

Phone 17 Pro clone spotted running fake iOS 18 on Android, appearing weeks before Apple’s real launch. Here’s what we know.

Under the hood, the iPhone 17 Air will run on the new A19 or A19 Pro chipset, paired with 8 GB of RAM. Storage options should include 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB. Connectivity also gets a boost: Apple's first in-house 5G modem (C1), Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4 support are all on board, ensuring the Air won't feel compromised when it comes to speed.

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 lineup soon, with leaks hinting at new models, updated devices, and a possible surprise launch.
