Apple iPhone 17 Lineup Launch Date, Expected Features. Apple is reportedly preparing to unveil its next-generation iPhone 17 series in early September 2025.
According to a recent report from Bloomberg, the tech giant is planning to introduce the new lineup during a launch event on September 9 or 10.
As per tradition, Apple usually reveals its new iPhones on a Tuesday or Wednesday in September. This year’s event is expected to showcase seven models under the iPhone 17 series, including the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
One of the most notable upgrades will be a significant redesign of the rear camera. For the first time since the iPhone 11 in 2020, Apple is moving away from the familiar square camera setup. The new design is expected to resemble the pill-shaped camera bar found on Google Pixel phones.
Changes are also expected to be made to the design of the Dynamic Island for the front camera. Additionally, the iPhone 17 models are likely to feature a faster MagSafe charging system and a new A19 chip for improved performance.
In the lineup, the iPhone 17 Air is set to be Apple’s thinnest iPhone yet. Replacing the iPhone 16 Plus, this model will feature a single rear camera — likely a 48-megapixel sensor — and a sleek design aimed at consumers who prioritize aesthetics. However, in terms of features, it could stay close to the standard model.
