iPhone 17 launch timeline leaked, here is when Apple may launch next iPhone
Apple is expected to hold its annual autumn product launch event during the second week of September 2025, with the highly anticipated iPhone 17 taking centre stage. Over the past decade, Apple has maintained a consistent pattern of unveiling new iPhones during this period, typically opting for a Tuesday or Wednesday. This year, based on historical trends and expert insights, Apple is likely to launch the new iPhones on Tuesday, 9 September, or Wednesday, 10 his latest Power On newsletter for Bloomberg, Mark Gurman notes that Apple traditionally hosts its iPhone events shortly after Labour Day, generally favouring Tuesdays for major announcements. Based on this pattern, we can expect this year's iPhone launch to take place in the second week of September. As for the specific date, Gurman suggests that a Monday event on 8 September could happen, though 9 or 10 September appears more likely. The company also tends to avoid scheduling events on Fridays and consistently steers clear of 11 September out of Apple's consistent preference for midweek launches, this timing also allows journalists and attendees ample opportunity to travel, report on the announcements, and share early hands-on impressions, which is also an important factor in Apple's carefully choreographed product 17 line-up The highlights of the iPhone 17 event are expected to include four variants, with a new addition rumoured: the iPhone 17 Air. The iPhone 17 Air is said to be the slimmest iPhone ever and is expected to replace the current Plus model in the addition to the iPhone 17 range, Apple is also anticipated to unveil other products such as the Apple Watch Series 11 and updated AirPods. Historically, Apple has used its September event to introduce complementary hardware, enhancing the overall ecosystem of its devices. This strategy supports Apple's broader goal of offering a seamless, integrated experience for users. By launching multiple products together, the company also encourages consumers to upgrade their entire suite of devices, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance across the updates expected later in the yearWhile the September event will likely focus on the iPhone and wearables, Mac-related announcements are not expected. The MacBook Pro lineup with the M5 chip is anticipated in October, with reports suggesting that major MacBook Pro updates may be delayed until early note that Apple has yet to officially confirm the event date, but if Apple follows the traditional launch time than fans and tech enthusiasts can mark their calendars for the week of 8 September 2025.- EndsYou May Also Like

Here's when Apple is most likely announcing the iPhone 17 family
Apple unveils new iPhones in September, so it stands to reason to expect the company to do the same this year. But when exactly in September? Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, a man always having some sort of insider Apple information, thinks he has the answer. He thinks the iPhone 17 family will be launching the week that commences on September 8. iPhone 17 family dummy units The event could very well take place on September 8, which is a Monday, or September 9, or September 10. The company never holds events on Fridays and it's avoided association with September 11 for obvious historical reasons. So those are the three options, Apple just has to pick from them. This year we'll see the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, with the Air replacing the Plus model in the line, that so far has been the worst seller. If the Air can improve upon that, then it will be a success for the company even if it doesn't break any sales records. Source | Image source

Apple iPhone 17 Release Date: New Leak Reveals Latest Key Data
Updated July 14 with further details of the exact release date for the iPhone 17 series. Last month, I assessed exactly when the next iPhone series, would go on sale. Now, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg has had his say. Happily, it's along the same lines, so perhaps we can begin to be confident when the iPhone will land. Read on for the exact schedule in every detail. Apple iPhone 16: when will the iPhone 17 go on sale, exactly? In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Gurman seeks to answer the question: 'When will Apple hold its iPhone 17 launch event?' Apple iPhone 17: Date, Time And Place Of The Keynote Although he went into much less detail than my report (and I admit it, brevity is the soul of wit), he lighted on similar dates. 'The company usually unveils its new iPhones the week after Labor Day. If that holds — and there's no reason to believe it won't — you can pencil in the keynote for the week of Sept. 8,' he began. This continues to make sense to me: the week before would be when the large-scale electronics trade show IFA takes place in Berlin and it's already thought that there will be some big announcements there. Apple won't want to share the spotlight with the myriad other brands popping up in Berlin. 'In the past, Apple has typically favored Tuesdays, but there have been some exceptions in recent years,' Gurman goes on. He's referring to the fact that last year's event, against most people's expectations, including his, was held on a Monday. I'm quietly delighted that I did report the right date in advance. Forgive me a moment of conceited humility, please. 'So it could be that Monday (the 8th), though I suspect the 9th or 10th is probably more likely. Apple never holds events on Fridays, so you can rule out the 12th, and it has avoided launching new products on Sept. 11,' Gurman concludes. This is the new information here. I had only briefly considered the Monday, but Gurman is giving it more credence. However, we both think that Tuesday 9 or Wednesday 10 are more likely. As I said before, my money is on the keynote happening on Tuesday, Sept. 9 at the absolutely regular time that it always does, that is, 10 a.m. Pacific. And the location will, I'm sure, be in the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino. Apple iPhone 17 Pre-Orders Assuming that date is right, then other parts of the puzzle fall into place. First of all, pre-orders are almost certain to open on the following Friday, which is Sept. 12. Usually, this means you can log on to buy at 1 p.m. local time, wherever you are, on that day. In the past, customers can jump the line the night before pre-orders open — Thursday, Sept. 11 in this case — so they can save the color, storage level and model of iPhone in their online shopping bag and complete the purchase when pre-orders open the following day. Apple iPhone 17 Release Date Gurman only talks about the keynote, but when will the onsale date be? I still think the iPhone 17 series will go on sale on Friday, Sept.19.

Apple's long-rumoured Smart Home Hub delayed until 2026 amid Siri overhaul: Mark Gurman
Apple's long-anticipated smart home hub, once expected to launch in 2025, is now unlikely to arrive before 2026, according to the latest update from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The device, intended to serve as a central controller for HomeKit-compatible accessories, has reportedly been delayed due to Apple's ongoing development of its next-generation Siri assistant. The product, internally referred to as J490, is believed to resemble a hybrid between a HomePod and a small touchscreen display. It has been under development for some time and is expected to feature a 6- to 7-inch screen, possibly square in shape. It may also include mounting options for walls and a detachable speaker base for flexible use in different domestic settings. At the heart of the delay is Apple's dependence on its upcoming AI-powered Siri upgrade. The new voice assistant is expected to leverage 'Apple Intelligence' and an expanded App Intents framework, which would allow Siri to offer more context-aware, on-device responses and improved control over third-party apps. These capabilities were initially tied to the rollout of iOS 18.4, which itself has been delayed, pushing back the launch of the hardware. Gurman notes that the smart hub's features are heavily reliant on these AI advancements. Without the necessary software infrastructure, Apple has reportedly opted to postpone both the hardware and its integrated features. A prior internal target of March 2025 has now been scrapped, with 2026 seen as a more realistic launch window. Beyond serving as a hub for smart home automation, the device is expected to support FaceTime video calls, display interactive widgets, and potentially integrate with a new Apple-designed home security camera. References to such a device have recently been discovered in the iOS 18.6 developer beta, pointing to a screen resolution consistent with that of the iPad mini, reinforcing existing speculation about its size and display capabilities. Earlier this year, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had predicted the hub would enter mass production by the third quarter of 2025. However, that timeline now appears uncertain given the delays in software readiness. Meanwhile, internal testing reportedly continues, with select Apple employees trialling early versions of the device in real-world environments as recently as March.
