Apple Set to Unveil iPhone 17 and Apple Watch Series 11 on September 9
Apple has announced that it will hold an event on Tuesday, September 9, 2025 to introduce the much-anticipated iPhone 17 series, as well as potential new Apple Watch models and other products.
The iPhone 17 series, which is expected to include the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, and iPhone 17 Pro, is set to go on sale a few weeks later, on Friday, September 19, 2025. Pre-orders for the new devices are likely to open a few days after the event, on September 12, 2025.
The iPhone 17 is rumoured to feature a larger display (around 6.3 inches), faster 120Hz refresh rates, camera upgrades, and design tweaks like a rearranged rear camera layout and potentially lighter materials for the Pro models. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be a new mid-tier model replacing the Plus model.
In addition to the iPhone 17 series, Apple is also expected to debut the Apple Watch Series 11 and possibly the Apple Watch Ultra 3. Other new products that could be announced at the event include the AirPods Pro 3, an updated Apple TV 4K, and the HomePod 3 smart home hub.
Apple typically sends official event invitations about one to two weeks before the event, so formal confirmation should come soon. The keynote official date has not been confirmed yet, but trusted sources suggest more information will be available by August 26.
It's worth noting that no new information about the release date for iOS 26, the latest update expected to ship with the iPhone 17, was provided.
