Apple iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro Release Date: New Date Enters The Schedule
Updated Aug. 13 with further details for the full schedule of what's coming when. In less than four weeks, all will be revealed about the iPhone 17 series. That's because on Tuesday, Sept. 9, Apple will hold its keynote unveiling the new hardware, I believe. Now, a new date has been added to the mix. You can read the full schedule here but it's also laid out in detail below. Apple iPhone 17 Release Date: The New Entry In The Schedule Mark Gurman's Bloomberg Power On newsletter is always full of interesting nuggets. In the latest issue, he mentioned something that has so far been absent from release date schedules. Among all the talk of the keynote date, the onsale date and even the date for when the keynote date will be unveiled (all of which are below, with timings down to the minute), there has been scant talk of the release for iOS 26. More than in recent years, the new software has captured the public's imagination this year. Although iOS 26 will be pre-installed on the iPhone 17 series, it will also work on iPhones all the way back to the iPhone 11. So, when will it go on general release? Gurman commented that the new software is 'pretty smooth', and has since said on X that the latest, sixth developer beta is 'ridiculously snappy'. So much so that 'it's clear that we're pretty close to the release of the final, public versions,' he said. I believe it's possible to pin the release down further than 'the first half of September,' as Gurman comments. Last year, iOS 18 went on general release on Monday, Sept. 16, exactly a week after the keynote and four days before the Friday, Sept. 20 onsale date of the iPhone 16 series. I believe this year's general release for iOS 26 will follow a near-identical schedule, and will be available from around 10 a.m. Pacific on either Monday, Sept. 15 or just possibly Tuesday, Sept. 16. I favor the Monday because excitement in the new software is so high Apple will want it out as soon as it can, plus, it seems in good shape already. iPhone 17 Release Date: The Full Schedule As for the rest of the schedule, here are the most important dates. I'll also update this post as soon as any are confirmed officially. First up is the announcement of the keynote. This is likely to be around 8 a.m Pacific, on Tuesday, Aug. 26. This is when invites are sent out by email to selected members of the press and special guests. The exact time is subject to an hour or so's leeway, and it's even possible that the invites will go out a day before. Check back here for details as soon as it's gone live. The next big piece of the puzzle will be the keynote itself. The time will be 10 a.m. Pacific, as this is always Apple's chosen time for Cupertino unveilings. I believe it will be on Tuesday, Sept. 9 and the possibility of a date change now seems vanishingly small. Pre-orders open: 8 a.m. Pacific, Friday Sept. 12. Reviews appear: Tuesday, Sept. 16 or Wednesday, Sept. 17, likely 6 a.m. Pacific. Onsale date: Friday, Sept. 19 at 7.a.m. wherever you are.

Twelve South's 120W charger with Apple Find My support is nearly half off
It's not every day you come across a wall charger that can both power and help you keep track of your devices, but that's the beauty of Twelve South's 120W PlugBug. The slim wall charger with four USB-C ports can double as a location tracker when needed, and it's currently on sale at Amazon for $67.12 (about $53 off) when you clip the on-page coupon. This is a new low price for this high-end configuration. Although the 50W variant was recently on sale for just $19.99, it's since increased to $58.99 at Amazon, making it only $10 cheaper than the 120W model. The 120W PlugBug a better value overall, obviously, since the travel-friendly charger offers four USB-C ports as opposed to two, not to mention a lot more power. It's capable of quickly charging the latest MacBook Pro, as well as other power-hungry laptops. What really sets this GaN charger apart, though, is its compatibility with Apple's Find My app. If you own an Apple device, such an iPhone or iPad, you can track the location of the charger along with whatever bag it's in, just as you would an AirTag. It even beeps if you accidentally leave it behind, which can be a lifesaver during those frantic mornings when you're rushing out the door. It's worth mentioning that the PlugBug includes a coin battery that enables Find My. Sign up for Verge Deals to get deals on products we've tested sent to your inbox weekly.
