iPhone 17 Pro now rumored to start at 256GB of storage
Vlad, 08 August 2025 Last month, a rumor told us to expect a price hike across the board for the upcoming iPhone 17 family, except for the entry-level 'vanilla' iPhone 17. Today, a leaker in China purports to bring a new piece of the puzzle. According to him, the iPhone 17 Pro's rumored $50 price hike will sting a little less, because Apple will apparently move to 256GB base storage. To say that this has been a long time coming would be a massive understatement, but in 2025 Apple is finally moving away from 128GB base models in its Pro iPhones (we assume the Pro Max will get the same treatment). Thus, the 256GB iPhone 17 Pro will be $50 more expensive than the 256GB iPhone 16 Pro. According to the latest rumor on the matter, Apple is going to unveil the iPhone 17 family at a special event taking place on September 9. It's then expected to release the new devices on September 19. Apple iPhone 16 Pro 128GB 8GB RAM $ 693.17 $ 693.17 256GB 8GB RAM $ 779.00 Source (in Chinese)

iPhone 17 release date revealed in telecom documents: It's coming in early September!
The iPhone 17 series is coming in September, and we already had a couple of leaks about the potential date of the event. First hints about the exact date of the Apple event came from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in his weekly Power On newsletter. Gurman suggested that Apple will hold the event during the week of September 8th, with Thursday out of the question, as September 11th would be a poor choice for announcing the new iPhones, as it will coincide with honoring the 9/11 tragic event. Apple traditionally avoids Fridays for such announcements, so by the power of deduction, Gurman says that Apple will announce its next lineup on September 8th or 9th, Tuesday or Wednesday, respectively. Now we have another hint pointing toward September 9th as the date of the event. The information comes from the German website iPhone-Ticker and cites internal sources from German telecom providers. Here's the most important part of the news translated from German: "According to internal information from German mobile phone providers, the date chosen this year is Tuesday, September 9." There are more dates cited in the story, with first pre-orders starting on September 12th (that's Friday), and wider market availability and retail sales coming on September 19th (another Friday). Apple iPhone 17 series schedule: Announcement: September 9th, Tuesday First pre-orders: September 12th, Friday Market release: September 19, Friday Alongside the usual suspects, namely the iPhone 17 , iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, Apple will reveal a new model called the iPhone 17 Air. It's replacing the iPhone 17 Plus and will fight for the title "thinnest smartphone on the market" with just 5.5 mm thickness. Some of the expected changes under the hood include a new A19 silicon with a Pro version for the upper-tier models, an increased amount of RAM on the ultra-thin iPhone, the iPhone 17 Pro, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max , and also increased battery capacity for the iPhone 17 Pro Max (5,000 mAh for the first time in iPhone's history). It looks like Apple is switching strategies with the naming scheme and the model layout. The iPhone Plus was brought back to life in the iPhone 14 lineup as a cheaper big-screen alternative to the Pro Max, but sales have been weak ever since. Apple is rebranding the iPhone Plus to Air and throwing in the thinness factor, much like what Samsung has done with the Galaxy S25 Edge (even though the Galaxy S25 Plus still exists). The iPhone 17 Air will directly compete with the S25 Edge price-wise as well; it's expected to cost around $899-950. It remains to be seen whether people will hop on this new "thin smartphone" train, but judging by the S25 Edge sales, things might take off slowly. The Elec reports that the Galaxy S25 Edge is "selling fewer units than the company anticipated." Due to this, Samsung has lowered its production numbers of the device.

Apple iPhone 17 Release Date Leaked In A New Report
The next big Apple launch is just a few weeks away as a new report claims that the iPhone 17 series will be announced on the same date as the iPhone 16. This aligns with previous speculations, leaks, and reports, which means, the iPhone 17 release date is… September 9. According to the German site iPhone-Ticker, which got sight of internal documents from at least one local carrier, the iPhone 17 launch event will take place on September 9. 'According to internal information from German mobile phone providers, this year's launch will be on Tuesday, the 9th of September. This would put the next major Apple event exactly 35 days away,' says the report. In the last eight years, Apple has announced a new iPhone on a Tuesday five times. It was only last year that a new iPhone was launched on a Monday. Returning to the expected launch day of the week, the iPhone 17 could launch on September 9, which is the same date as the iPhone 16's launch. What's The iPhone 17 Sale Date? Apple is said to open pre-orders for the iPhone 17 the following Friday, on September 12, and start shipping them a week later. So, the iPhone 17 series should go on sale starting September 19. A New iPhone 17 Model Is On Its Way The upcoming Apple event could kickstart a new iPhone series. Its Plus model is expected to be phased out in favor of a slim device. As a result, we are likely to get the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max on September 9. The iPhone 17 Air is tipped to measure around 5.5mm in thickness. According to a leak, the dummy unit measures 5.44mm. That would make it slightly thicker than Apple's slimmest product, the M4 iPad Pro (5.1mm). To compare, the Tecno Spark Slim concept phone was showcased at MWC 2025 as the world's thinnest phone at 5.75mm. Meanwhile, Samsung has also showcased the Galaxy S25 Edge, which is said to measure 5.84mm. So, the iPhone 17 Air could potentially become the world's thinnest phone. The iPhone 17 Air is said to fall between the 6.3-inch iPhone 16 Pro and the 6.9-inch iPhone 16 Pro Max in terms of size. It is said to have a 6.6-inch ProMotion-equipped OLED screen with ultra-slim bezels. The front camera will reportedly be upgraded to 24MP (up from 12MP in the iPhone 16 lineup), while the rear optics could be handled by a single camera. While the iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to trim down its Dynamic Island size, the pill-shaped notch on iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air will likely stay the same as the iPhone 16 series. According to Bloomberg, the iPhone 17 Air will be priced around $900, putting it in the same territory as the outgoing Plus model and maintaining its place in the lineup hierarchy. It's expected to cost more than the iPhone 17 but less than the iPhone 17 Pro.
