This is Monday, September 8, Tuesday, September 9, Tuesday, September 9 and Wednesday, September 10, as the most likely candidate.

Gurman believes Apple may hold events on Tuesday, September 9 or Wednesday, September 10. So if you’re eagerly looking forward to Apple fans of the iPhone 17 series, you should circle those days on your September calendar. September will pop up before you know it when we are in the hot summer now.

4 Apps to Turn My iPhone into Mini Games
Now that the emulator is an established category of apps on iPhone, I’ve been using these four apps to experience the explosion of retro past.
Several changes will be made to this year’s iPhone launch
That is, the new camera design for the iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro
Apple wheels/pocket mint
When the iPhone 16 series was announced last year, the phone looked almost the same as their predecessor, except for the addition of camera control buttons and a vertical camera on the iPhone 16. Based on leaks in the past six months, Apple seems to have finally made some major changes this year.
this iPhone 17 Air It is widely said to be the most important update of the lineup this year, replacing the Plus Model iPhone. This is expected to be Apple’s answer to the slim smartphone trend (e.g. Galaxy S25 Edge) and became the thinnest iPhone to date. The leak shows that its display is about 6.7 inches and measures 5.5mm thick (through the macro). To see through this, the Galaxy S25 edge is 5.8mm at its thinnest point (excluding the rear camera). The iPhone 17 Air is also considered to have only one rear camera, similar to iPhone 16e.
Last year’s iPhone launch felt dull and I’m looking forward to some exciting updates this year to make things interesting.
in addition, iPhone 17 Pro If the leak is accurate, it is expected to attract a lot of attention. A few months, Leaked rendering The iPhone 17 Pro with a new level camera pole is shown on the back (as shown above). Since the iPhone 11 Pro was launched in 2019, the camera design on Pro Models has mostly remained the same and has grown over time. If the iPhone 17 Pro is designed with a rectangular camera stick, it would be one of the biggest changes in the Pro model in fifty years.
Leakage indicates base iPhone 17 It looks similar to the iPhone 16, but with some improvements. Specifically, there are rumors that performance improvements with the A19 chipset are available, and potentially including Apple’s adaptive refresh rate technology promotion.
I’m much more excited about the iPhone 17 series than I’m about the iPhone 16 lineup, mainly because of all these rumors about the coming changes. The iPhone launch last year felt dull and I was looking forward to some exciting updates this year to make things interesting. Mark Gurman has a good track record on Apple News, so his forecast for the September 9 or 10 releases of iPhone 17 seems likely, especially when considering the timing of Apple’s past events in September.
