Apple iPhone 17 Series India Launch: Apple fans are excited about the upcoming iPhone 17 series, which is expected to bring a major new design. While The Cupertino-based tech giant is yet to make its official launch announcement, reports say the launch event might happen on September 3 or 9. Both dates are Tuesdays, which is when Apple usually holds its iPhone events.
However, September 3 may be skipped due to Labor Day in the United States and the ongoing IFA tech exhibition in Berlin. Hence, this makes September 9 a more viable choice to launch its premium products reportedly. The much-anticipated iPhone 17 series is expected to include the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
According to several reports, pre-orders for the iPhone 17 are likely to begin on September 12, with the phones expected to hit stores around September 19. The entire iPhone 17 series will ship with iOS 26. It is important to note that not all iOS 26 features were shown at WWDC 2025. Apple is likely saving a few surprises for the iPhone 17 launch event. Meanwhile, the several handy features are on the way, including Call Screening, Hold Assist, AI-powered Maps, and group chat polls in Messages.
