iPhone 17 launch time & countdown clock, where to watch the Apple event
Table of Contents
The iPhone 17 series is all set to be revealed as part of Apple’s September event announcements. Based on what we know so far (from leaks and rumors), this year brings in some changes for Apple’s ever-popular smartphone range. One of the biggest is the loss of the ‘Plus’ model, since it is essentially being replaced by the iPhone 17 Air. The good news for any Apple fan is that these devices will be unveiled today, as Apple has penciled in its latest event for September 9.
September’s Apple Event has long played host to the latest iPhone launches, so don’t expect this year to be any different. That means we can look forward to the iPhone 17 release date in the near future, as well as iPhone 17 pre orders as soon as the 12th, based on previous years’ schedules.

As usual, Apple’s lips have remained sealed regarding what will be announced this September; there’s not much longer to wait in any case. The “Awe dropping” event is expected to feature the new iPhone 17 range, Apple Watch Ultra 3, Series 11, and SE, as well as the AirPods Pro 3.
Rumors and leaks so far show a price bump for the iPhone 17 series – even the cheapest Air is expected to cost over $1,000, and a brand-new Apple accessory (a magnetic strap) could be on the horizon.
