Apple iPhone event The corner is correct around the corner, which means that the huge tech company will eventually reveal its iPhone 17 lineup. Latest iOS 26 features The new models will be presented, as well as any additional features of Apple appear in the launch event. But since we still have to wait a few weeks (possibly) till the iPhone event, we can at least guess what the new phones will look like. With most unpublished iPhone models, rumors and leaks have tricked the hardware side before the official introduction. Here what we are expecting and what we can believe that we will meet Cupertino in September.
What are the latest iPhone 17 rumors?
An iPhone 17 pro-production leak has revealed an all-aluminum chassis, As MarastersOriginally Licker Posted by Magin BooThe image shows a shell with a large round hole on the back to allow magsf charging (where apple logo is usually occurred). Marasters It is said that it can be just a molding, but notes that aluminum frames (current titanium in the vs pro iPhone model) will produce much lower weight.
For now, this is just a rumor and we will not know what the actual iPhone 17 models look until Apple’s iPhone event next month.
What will be the cost of iPhone 17?
Apple Announced plan to expand US-based manufacturing partners It seems that it gives at least a few preservation of the Trump administration tariff, which has already trigge the price increase on everything. Switch console To High end camera To Sonos speakersBut given that President Trump’s trade policies may change the week to week, and Apple’s continuous dependence on Asia-based supply chains, value shocks remain an ongoing possibility. The big question is whether Apple will absorb any high cost, or will they pass them to consumers?
If prices creep, Apple can choose to pair it with “upgrade”. Consider this recent rumor Posted by Marasters From a lenker “known as”Immediate digital, Price hike of $ 50Apple can at least pitch it as a “better value”. He said, company Doubled your Mac Computer Default RAM In 2024, from 8GB to 16GB at no additional cost – but it was before the commencement of the current Trump Tariff cycle.
When will the iPhone 17 series be announced?
In most years, flagship smartphones are introduced in September. Marasters Thrown light on Originally reported by a story iPhone-Ticker.de According to the information of German mobile phone providers, the Apple iPhone 17 event can be held on Tuesday, September 9.
The specific dates are still very quick; A few years, Apple gives only one or two weeks time, which is between inviting and hosting the event. But from the years of the previous example, it suggests that there should be some time in September when 17 models make their debut. This family of smartphones may be final for following that trend. It is indicated that the iPhone 18 collection will start in 2026 split A pro-tier declaration in the fall and a standard model declaration in the following spring.
What will be included in the new iPhone 17 lineup?
Design leak suggests that Apple is making a construction Ultra-Patli smartphoneThe iPhone 17 Air is likely to be named to match Apple’s ultralight laptop designation. BloombergMark Gurman, often a solid source of advanced Intel about Apple, Informed In January that iPhone 17 Air will be equipped with a basic A19 chip and will have only one camera lens. It can also use Apple’s new in-house modem, which was introduced in February iPhone 16EMore information about this development can be leaked before September, but now we know this.
An investor note from Apple Analyst Jeff Pu Stated That will have a titanium frame in the air. If their report is correct, the light smartphone will be the only entry in the iPhone 17 lineup to use that metal; The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected to be made of aluminum, which is strangely lighter than the titanium. Other speculation suggested that air would use a mixture of aluminum and titanium, so the accurate materials cannot be found until the official announcement.
Additionally, 4 August Marasters Report It is said that the internal battery pack of the iPhone air is just 2.49 mm thick – half the thickness of the iPhone 17 Pro Battery. Posted on leakage Korean-language boat blogWhere they show the alleged batteries of the iPhone 17 Air and 17 Pro Side. This account claimed that the capacity of 17 air battery was only 2,800 mAh, Marasters Note. (This is below the battery capacity of the current iPhone 16 model.)
A recent rumor of Majin Bu, which Marasters Classes as a “hit-or-miss leaker”, suggests that the iPhone 17 Pro will have a better wireless signal strength for an update antenna design. Person Posted a render on X It shows a new antenna system that allegedly wrapped around the broad rear camera bump of the iPhone 17 Pro. Then, it is a render, not a real -world photo. That said, we cannot knock the goal of better wireless reception, so we are hoping that it has a degree of truth.
Each new roster consists of a base model, but from years, Apple has shaken a variety of phones that provide it. Most likely, there will be an iPhone 17 and an iPhone 17 Pro. Apple has also committed to see the size case, and is building an iPhone Pro Max option with a single large screen and better battery life; The 17 roster will definitely be a single.
The new supporters are said to have called a full-width “camera island” at the back, which was first chosen as an apple model for that design. This facility can be seen The iPhone 17 “Viewed in the wild.” Pix, highlighted on MarastersShow a black Cass iPhone (17 Pro?) With a separate back panel. Is this a real deal? Dual angles provide a degree of reliability in a social media scenario, which are rapidly polluted with A-Nhens fake, but your guess is as good as us.
The iPhone 17 Air seems priced to replace a possible iPhone 17 Plus. Since iPhone 16E was introduced only in February itself Surprisingly high value pointIt is unlikely that there will be a new addition to that lower end of the spectrum, the model called SE earlier.
Very at least, it seems that the iPhone 17 will not remove the air charging port and will not rely only on wireless connectivity. Bloomberg Said that while Apple had investigated the iphone 17 wind without a port, the company (fortunately) changed the plans. He also says that the rumor phone will have a 6.6 -inch screen and will include a dynamic island and camera control button. Finally, the price is rumored at $ 900 – the standard iPhone more than 17 but less than Pro.
We have also achieved that there is a reliable eye on what the color lineup for the new smartphone will be. McWorld Told that iPhone 17 will be available in black, white, steel gray, green, purple and light blue. The iPhone 17 Air will reportly four color options: black, white, light blue and light gold. While the wind colors will be less saturated, the views will be bold for the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Pro model options are expected to be black, white, gray, dark blue and orange.
On 30 July, Tom guide Highlight an X post from Sunny dixon – Reliable leaks of a long and generally unpounted iPhone information – showing the “dummy” iPhone 17 model in new colors which was the source of the above McWorld Story. Although these are literally just mock-ups-not worldly, leaked iphones- It is interesting to see how the design and color rumors translate and feel as the real world.
What will be iOS 26?
Apple enhances its numbering convention with WWDC 2025, and would match the name of each new operating system of that year, which was released. So when the next wave of iPhone becomes a hit, they will run iOS 26,

Next iOS is now available as one Public betaHere are our initial impression Liquid glass design And other new features. iOS 26 is compatible Back through the iPhone 11 with all models.
Which other products are expected to be released with iPhone 17?
If Apple follows its normal pattern, the iPhone 17 will be declared with new Apple Watch products. This Apple Watch Series 11 (if the Apple is affixed to the same naming scheme), and maybe the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and/or an updated Apple Watch SE. (They will all walk Watches 26Of course.) Other possibilities – and this, again, speculation – Fresh Apple AirPods Pro (which received it Last big update in 2022) And perhaps new Airtag trackers (First released in 2021).
Apple Rumor Mill received a big shot in hand this week, thanks to the inclusion of product ID numbers in recent beta software build. Per MarastersThis is a list of a laundry list of new hardware, which includes long -standing rummed product updates Apple TV, Homepod MiniNew Apple Studio Display Monitor and two fresh iPads.
Of course, even if that list is completely accurate, we cannot see those products until 2026 – if ever. So not all products are expected to share the stage with the iPhone 17, especially since Apple prefers to keep its star artist at the center of attention.
He said, keep in mind that Apple has recently been making Mac-Centenary announcements in the end of October (as made to make new debut last year. M4 Mac), Therefore there is always the possibility of another shoe to fall below the road a few weeks.
