Mark your calendar, this could be the iPhone 17 launch date
What's happened: The first iPhone 17 launch date leak has landed, and it points towards Tuesday 9 September as the day for Apple's next iPhone event. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 release date is said to be September 19 (the day you'll actually be able to get your hands on the new phone) – so there might not be long to wait at all. The dates have been shared by German site which claims to have 'internal information from German mobile phone providers' (translated). If accurate, it means the iPhone 17 launch is just over a month away, and will take place just 20 days after Google's Pixel 10 event on August 20. This is important because: This is the first iPhone 17 release date leak which feels like it might have some weight behind it, helping us zero in on when we'll learn about Apple's next generation of smartphones, and when they'll go on sale. Previous iPhone launches have been held in early-mid September, so the latest date leak does fall in line with expectations. iPhone 17 (2025) – rumored Rumored launch date: Tuesday 9 September Rumored release date: Friday 19 September iPhone 16 (2024) Launch date: Monday 9 September Release date: Friday 20 September iPhone 15 (2023) Launch date: Tuesday 12 September Release date: Friday 22 September iPhone 14 (2022) Launch date: Wednesday 7 September Release date: Friday 16 September iPhone 13 (2021) Launch date: Tuesday 14 September Release date: Friday 24 September Why should I care? Apple's iPhone launch events continue to be one of the biggest tech events of the year, with interest from people around the world. Once an iPhone launch date is locked in, things tend to slide into place. Apple's pattern of launch and release sees new iPhones go on a sale the Friday of the following week after launch – which lines up nicely with this new leak. New iPhone pre-orders tend to open the Friday of launch week, which if this rumor is accurate would mean iPhone 17 pre-orders could open on Friday 12 September. So if you're tempted by what Apple might have up its sleeve, we'd recommend you start getting your finances in order now. Recommended Videos Okay, what's next? We're penciling in an Apple event for September 9 on our calendar, with a potential iPhone 17 on sale date for September 19. We'll have to wait for Apple to confirm the exact date however. Apple tends to send out invites to its September launch event around two weeks before, so we could be looking at August 26 for invites to land. Rumors suggest we'll get the usual quartet of new handsets in the form of the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Plus, iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max – but they could be joined by a new, fifth option for this year. There has been a lot of chatter around a super slim iPhone 17 Air, set to rival the Galaxy S25 Edge – so keep your eyes peeled for this svelte offering. Via MacRumors

Apple Watch getting redesigned blood oxygen feature following legal dispute
Apple on Thursday announced a redesigned blood oxygen feature for some Apple Watch users, following a yearslong intellectual property dispute over the capability. Apple said the redesigned feature is coming to some Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 users on Thursday. The update was possible because of a recent U.S. Customs ruling, the company said. In 2023, the International Trade Commission found that Apple's blood oxygen sensors infringed on intellectual property from Masimo, a medical technology company. Apple paused the sale of some of its watches and began selling modified versions of the wearables without the blood oxygen feature. 'Apple's teams work tirelessly to create products and services that empower users with industry-leading health, wellness, and safety features that are grounded in science and have privacy at the core,' the company said in a release announcing the feature rollout. CNBC has reached out to Masimo for comment. Users who do not currently have the feature will be able to access it by updating their iPhone to iOS 18.6.1 and their Apple Watch to watchOS 11.6.1, Apple said. Users will be able to see their results in the Respiratory section of the Health app. Apple has been pushing deeper into health care in recent years. The company recently released a sleep apnea detection feature for Apple Watch users and hearing health features for its AirPods headphones. In February, Apple launched its first major health study in five years.

TNB Tech Minute: Apple Watch Gets Blood Oxygen Feature Back - Tech News Briefing
Full Transcript This transcript was prepared by a transcription service. This version may not be in its final form and may be updated. Julie Chang: Here's your afternoon TNB Tech Minute for Thursday, August 14th. I'm Julie Chang for the Wall Street Journal. Apple is bringing back the blood oxygen feature for some models of the Apple Watch. The iPhone maker was forced to remove the capability nearly two years ago due to a patent dispute with medical technology company Masimo. The feature known as pulse oximetry measures oxygen saturation in blood. In a statement, Apple said users of some models of the Watch Series 9 and 10, as well as the Ultra 2 will be able to use the redesigned feature with a software update being pushed later today. The tech giant also said it was enabled by a recent US customs ruling. A spokesman from Masimo didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. And the buy now pay later company Klarna saw a jump in revenue in the second quarter. As momentum in the US, its biggest market continues to accelerate. The company posted a revenue of $823 million up from $682 million in the same period a year prior. Last year's figure was inflated by the sale of its online checkout solution, Klarna Checkout. The Swedish financial services company said it added 202,000 merchants over the past year, and it said it's expanding its footprint through partnerships with Walmart, eBay, J.P. Morgan, and more. Finally, Chinese Tech giant Tencent's accelerated second quarter revenue growth shows its investments in artificial intelligence have paid off Citi analysts said in a research note. They said the contribution of high margin revenue streams such as domestic games and video accounts, as well as its disciplined spending on AI has enabled Tencent to continue to grow profits. Tencent's gaming business has become one of the earliest segments to benefit from AI. For a deeper dive into what's happening in tech, check out Friday's Tech News Briefing podcast.
