We think we know the date for the big event too APPLE CORE Secret Apple gadgets due out in just weeks – list of rumoured tech includes shockingly thin 'iPhone 17 Air' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IN just a few weeks, Apple will almost certainly lift the lid on a treasure trove of new gadgets. This tech haul should land just in time for Christmas – but what Apple devices will actually go be going on our list to Santa?

This is usually where each year's main iPhone release is revealed. It'll then go on sale about a week and a half later. Last year's saw the iPhone 16 debut. We'll almost certainly see other Apple gadgets too, but they're all top secret for now. In fact, Apple hasn't even confirmed plans for a September event – but it doesn't take much guesswork to work out what's what. WHEN IS THE SEPTEMBER 2025 APPLE EVENT? Although the Apple event is likely now just weeks away, we won't find out the truth until very close to the big day. Just last year, I predicted the iPhone 17 release date, and that means I think I've worked out when the event will take place too. Usually the iPhone reveal is on a Tuesday or Wednesday in the first half of the month. So this year, we're expecting to see it on Tuesday, September 9 or Wednesday, September 10. Tuesday feels like the safer pick, so mark your calendars. Based on that info, here are our predictions for the key dates: Apple interview with Greg Joz Joswiak on new artificial intelligence, screening, hold assist, carplay, liquid glass and ios updates Apple iPhone 17 event announcement – Tuesday, August 26, 2025 Apple iPhone 17 event day – Tuesday, September 9, 2025 iPhone 17 pre-orders – Friday, September 12, 2025 iOS 19 release date – Monday, September 15, 2025 iPhone 17 release date – Friday, September 19, 2025 Of course the event could end up falling earlier or later, completely throwing off our guess at the schedule. APPLE EVENT 2025 – WHAT TO EXPECT So what will Apple actually show off? The safest best is a brand new iPhone – or rather, new iPhones. 10 Apple's next round of iPhone models will run on the new iOS 26 update Credit: Apple As usual, we're expecting at least four models, but with a surprise change this year. Instead of an iPhone 17 Plus, it's rumoured that we'll see an ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air. Yes, really. This could be the thinnest model we've seen in years – and possibly ever. So the full line-up for 2025 would look like this: iPhone 17 iPhone 17 Air iPhone 17 Pro iPhone 17 Pro Max IPHONE SCREEN SIZES – A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME Here's how iPhone screen sizes have changed over the years – as measured in inches diagonally from corner to corner... iPhone (2007) – 3.5 inches iPhone 3G (2008) – 3.5 inches iPhone 3GS (2009) – 3.5 inches iPhone 4 (2010) – 3.5 inches iPhone 4S (2011) – 3.5 inches iPhone 5 (2012) – 4 inches iPhone 5S (2013) – 4 inches iPhone 5C (2013) – 4 inches iPhone 6 (2014) – 4.7 inches iPhone 6+ (2014) – 5.5 inches iPhone 6S (2015) – 4.7 inches iPhone 6S+ (2015) – 5.5 inches iPhone SE (2016) – 4 inches iPhone 7 (2016) – 4.7 inches iPhone 7+ (2016) – 5.5 inches iPhone 8 (2017) – 4.7 inches iPhone 8+ (2017) – 5.5 inches iPhone X (2017) – 5.8 inches iPhone XS (2018) – 5.8 inches iPhone XR (2018) – 6.1 inches iPhone XS Max (2018) – 6.5 inches iPhone 11 (2019) – 6.1 inches iPhone 11 Pro (2019) – 5.8 inches iPhone 11 Pro Max (2019) – 6.5 inches iPhone SE 2nd gen (2020) – 4.7 inches iPhone 12 Mini (2020) – 5.4 inches iPhone 12 (2020) – 6.1 inches iPhone 12 Pro (2020) – 6.1 inches iPhone 12 Pro Max (2020) – 6.7 inches iPhone 13 Mini (2021) – 5.4 inches iPhone 13 (2021) – 6.1 inches iPhone 13 Pro (2021) – 6.1 inches iPhone 13 Pro Max (2021) – 6.7 inches iPhone SE 3rd gen (2022) – 4.7 inches iPhone 14 (2022) – 6.1 inches iPhone 14 Plus (2022) – 6.7 inches iPhone 14 Pro (2022) – 6.1 inches iPhone 14 Pro Max (2022) – 6.7 inches iPhone 15 (2023) – 6.1 inches iPhone 15 Plus (2023) – 6.7 inches iPhone 15 Pro (2023) – 6.1 inches iPhone 15 Pro Max (2023) – 6.7 inches iPhone 16 (2024) – 6.1 inches iPhone 16 Plus (2024) – 6.7 inches iPhone 16 Pro (2024) – 6.3 inches iPhone 16 Pro Max (2024) – 6.9 inches iPhone 16e (2025) – 6.1 inches Picture Credit: Apple / The Sun That's a slightly confusing set-up, so it's possibly that Apple does even more tinkering with the names to make simplify things. These gadgets will likely ship with brand new A19 processors. And it's rumoured that we'll see a larger camera panel on the back of the phone that stretches all the way across. The Apple Watch is also looking set for an upgrade this year. 10 The Apple Watch Series 10 will likely be replaced by a new line-up of smartwatches Credit: Apple 10 Apple could debut a sequel to the Apple Watch Ultra 2 Credit: Apple On-and-off rumours have suggested that Apple is hoping to include a blood pressure monitoring feature on the Apple Watch Series 11. And we could see an even more powerful Apple Watch Ultra 3 with the same perk – in addition to satellite-powered texting. That makes sense, given that it's aimed at outdoors types. We're also expecting to see a major audio upgrade in the form of the Apple AirPods Pro 3. The original AirPods Pro came out in 2019 as an upgraded noise-cancelling alternative to the regular AirPods wireless earbuds. 10 The Apple AirPods Pro may be up for an upgrade Credit: Apple Second-gen AirPods Pro dropped in September 2022, followed by a boosted version of the same model with a USB-C port for charging. For the AirPods Pro 3, Apple could introduce a redesigned model with improved noise cancellation and boosted audio. But there are also rumours that the new earbuds could also monitor your heart rate and body temperature for health purposes. Finally, it's also possible that we might see a new version of the Apple TV 4K. That's Apple's plug-in streamer that connects to the back of your telly to give it a fancy iPhone-style UI, plus access to loads of apps and features. The jury is still out on whether this will debut at the September event or a later Apple showcase (or possibly via press release alone). Apple's last major Apple TV 4K release was in 2022 with the third-generation model. So it could be time for an upgraded version with faster processing. 10 The plug-in Apple TV 4K streamer last received a major upgrade in 2022 Credit: Apple Other gadgets that have also been rumoured for release in 2025, but are less certain, include: A smart home hub display New Mac and MacBook Pro models with an Apple M5 chip New Apple AirTag 2 Apple Vision Pro 2 Sadly none of these gadgets are guaranteed, and could come in 2026 (or never!). We won't know for sure until Apple chief Tim Cook takes to the stage at the company's Cupertino, California HQ later this year. 10 Apple's Vision Pro spatial computing headset may be in line for an upgrade Credit: Apple

Apple supplier begins importing iPhone 17 parts to India, trial production to start this month: Report
Apple's supplier Foxconn has begun importing components from China to India for the assembly of the company's upcoming iPhone 17, according to a report by the Economic Times citing customs data. The components imported so far could be meant for trial production, given that their volume is a fraction of what it was for older iPhone models. The customs data shows that various components and sub-assemblies like display assemblies, cover glass, mechanical housings, and integrated rear camera modules began arriving in the country last month. In fact, components for the iPhone 17 made up about 10% of the total imports Foxconn brought from China to India in June. The majority of the components imported by the company that month were for iPhone 16 and iPhone 14 variants, which it plans to sell in higher numbers during the festive season sale in India. The ET report notes that trial production for the iPhone 17 will begin this month, while mass production is expected to start in August ahead of the flagship phone's launch in September. The Cupertino-based tech giant plans to manufacture the iPhone 17 in India and China simultaneously from day one, as India becomes a strategic export hub for the company, especially for models sent to the US market. Notably, with the high tariffs applied by the Donald Trump administration on China, Apple is ramping up its iPhone production in India and is planning to entirely shift its sourcing of iPhones for the US market from China to India by 2026, even as the US government mounts pressure to manufacture these phones in the home country. iPhone exports from India to the US grew by 219% year-on-year in March, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence data cited by ET. Reportedly, Apple has been gradually narrowing the gap between iPhone production in China and India. iPhone 14 assembly began in India six weeks after it started in China, but for the iPhone 15, manufacturing commenced almost simultaneously in both countries. India participated in Apple's new product introduction (NPI) process for the iPhone 16 variants in 2024, marking the end of exclusivity for China. The report states that Apple plans to continue on that trajectory for the upcoming iPhone 17 variants.
