Many factors are immersed in mystery around this year’s iPhone 17 model. The iPhone 17 release date is actually one of them.
To be clear, Apple has not officially announced any launch plan for his upcoming phone or confirmed any details about the equipment in its pipeline. And this is equal to the course in Apple, where questions about future product plans are usually found with a “no comment”.
But in a sense, Apple has told us when to expect new iPhones through its track record of releasing the previous model. Using that historical release data – and complementing it with any rumors about the release plans – we can guess a very well about the date of the iPhone 17 release. In fact, with the help of a calendar, we can indicate too much on a particular day and a good chance to prove right in a few months.
Apple’s iPhone release schedule will not always be so easy to guess that a rumor of the company released its iPhone in future years becomes accurate. But for the iPhone 17 release, the historical data on the previous iPhone launchs a very detailed picture to the paints.
Last iPhone release
If you want to know when to expect the iPhone release, then you will be very solid to attract your attention in September. Apple is definitely a penchet to announce its latest phone in that particular month.
I am not pulling that release window out of thin air. I have been covering Apple for longer than iPhone, and I was there when Steve Jobs showed the first stab of Apple in a smartphone. It was in January, by the way, till the end of the phone, the phone received a call in the phone.

But since then things have changed dramatically, as you can see by looking at the chart above, the iPhone launch launches dating in a decade. Skim the column for the date in which Apple held its iPhone launch event, and you will see a month repeatedly – September.
An exception is, of course, and it is the iPhone 12 launch, where Apple announced those phones in October. It was 2020, at the height of the Kovid -19 epidemic, which threw many things, including the iPhone assembly, into chaos. Whereas these days there is a certain amount of disturbance in the world – tariff and business war, any? – This is not expected to affect the release schedule for the phone. (Prices may be another case.)
Further drilling in the date of that announcement in data, it should become very clear that the Apple iPhone is not like September, it also likes to show its new phone in the first half of the month. Given that there is usually a gap of 10 days or between the point in which Apple announced his phone and when they go on sale, a launch event in the first half of the month means that the phones hit retail shelves before the end of September. This gives Apple a complete quarter of the sale of new iPhone during the holiday season, the most important quarter of the year of Apple.
There are some examples of iPhones Was not Ship in September, however. The iPhone 14 Plus went on sale in October 2022 after about two weeks of the rest of the iPhone 14 lineup. In 2018, the iPhone Xr did not go on sale until the end of October, while the iPhone X noticed that its sales were pushed back by November 2017 till November 2017, after the launch event of 12 September 2017.
Some of those three models are normal – he first marked that Apple has used those special designs for his phone lineup. The fact that new types of iPhones sometimes see that release dates can prove to be relevant this year, when Apple is rumored to add the iPhone 17 air to its lineup.
What do rumors say about iPhone 17 release date
The iPhone 17 is not a specific rumor claiming to reveal the date of release. It is not unpredictable. We are still several months away from the iPhone launch as this writing, and the release date rumors appear close to the incident.
He said, a scan of various iPhone 17 rumor round-up reveals the general consent date of September 2025 for Apple’s iPhone event. Again it does not appear to be based on any specific rumor or revelation, but an understanding that history repeats itself when it comes to the launch of the iPhone. And all the previous evidence indicates the launch of September 1.
When i think iPhone 17 will be released
Keeping all this in mind, only one fool will be so bold that an iPhone 17 to predict a specific date for release. And seeing how many years I have been covering the iPhone, he can also be a fool.
Suppose Apple is normally adhesive with a September release window, with an eye towards getting a phone on sale by the end of the month. This will narrow things up to the first two weeks of September 2025.
I can tell you by participating in my part of Apple events that Apple likes to organize his launch event on Tuesday. The first half of September has two Tuesday – 2 September and 9 September.
This is the first date after Labor Day in the US, and I think Apple would not like to prepare for a large launch event in a holiday weekend. It leaves the most likely date for an iPhone 17 event on 9 September, as a possibility with September 10 if the Apple throws us a curlball and decides to launch your phone on Wednesday.
Using the general 10-day gap between the announcement of the phone and the introduction of retail sales, the day of September 9 would mean the iPhone 17 models will enter shops on 19 September. This date will also assume that there is no staggering release for the iPhone 17 Air, some I am not sufficient to guess this point.
I should reiterate again that all these estimates are based on the way Apple’s things are repeatedly done, and this previous performance is no guarantee of future results.
At the end of the day, Apple can surprise everyone by choosing a completely different date for the iPhone 17 release, which the company has not kept any similarity for anything done in the past.
All the same, I am keeping free on 9 September on my calendar. We will see how correct it is at the end of this year.
