Apple’s Next Big Gadget: Who’s Got the Calendar on the iPhone 17?
Sources from iphone‑ticker.de have surfaced with new clues about when Apple will showcase its upcoming flagship. The documents claim “internal information from German mobile phone providers,” pinning the launch event to Tuesday, September 9 and the release date to Friday, September 19.
Why Does This Matter?
- Timing: A launch just a month away, only 20 days after Google’s Pixel 10 event.
- Pattern: Apple traditionally announces new iPhones in early‑mid September; the leak aligns with that trend.
- Purchase Logic: Pre‑orders usually open the Friday of the launch week. If the dates stick, the iPhone 17 will likely be available for pre‑purchase on September 12.
Past Comparisons
Looking back at previous releases helps confirm the plausibility of the leak:
- iPhone 13 – Launch on Tuesday, September 14; Release on Friday, September 24
- iPhone 14 – Launch on Wednesday, September 7; Release on Friday, September 16
- iPhone 15 – Launch on Tuesday, September 12; Release on Friday, September 22
- iPhone 16 – Launch on Monday, September 9; Release on Friday, September 20
What Could the Lineup Include?
Rumors suggest Apple will unveil four standard models—iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Plus, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. A fifth variant, the iPhone 17 Air, is also on the radar, potentially competing with Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge.
Next Steps for Fans
Apple typically sends event invitations about two weeks before the launch. Expect to see invites in your inbox around August 26. Mark your calendars: September 9 for the event, September 19 for the on‑sale date. If you’re eager to get a new iPhone, start preparing your finances now.
