Apple iPhone 17: What to Expect in 2025

Apple is preparing to launch its iPhone 17 lineup in early September 2025, with leaks suggesting a launch event between September 8 and 10. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman predicts the keynote will likely be on Tuesday, September 9, or Wednesday, September 10, following Apple's tradition of releasing new iPhones in the second week of September.

The lineup is expected to include four models: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The Air will be a slimmer variant, while the Pro models will offer higher-end performance and imaging capabilities.

If Apple follows its usual schedule, pre-orders may start on Friday, September 12, with retail availability on September 19, 2025.

All models are likely to be powered by the new A19 chipset, with the Pro and Pro Max using a more powerful A19 Pro variant. RAM upgrades are expected, with 12GB for Pro models and 8GB for standard variants, supporting new Apple Intelligence features and improved thermal efficiency.

The iPhone 17 Air may have a reduced battery capacity due to its slim design but could feature a high-density silicon-anode battery. Display sizes are expected to be similar to the iPhone 16 series, with the Air model having a 6.6-inch OLED display and being the thinnest iPhone yet at 5.5mm.

Design changes include a new aluminium chassis, repositioned Apple logo, and softer color palettes. Camera upgrades are anticipated, with all models featuring a 24MP front-facing camera and various rear camera setups.

Apple is reportedly testing pastel finishes for the iPhone 17 series, with standard variants possibly coming in pastel purple and green, and Pro models in a refined 'sky blue' tone.
