As Apple is gearing up to reveal its next-generation iPhone 17 series, many are curious about its release date. The series will be announced at the company’s “Awe Dropping” event on Tuesday, September 9, 2025. Alongside the iPhone 17, the event will also showcase iOS 26 and a range of other hardware and software updates.
How long until the iPhone 17 release date?
Apple is preparing to unveil the highly anticipated iPhone 17 series at its 2025 “Awe Dropping” event on Tuesday, September 9, beginning at 10 a.m. Pacific Time.
The keynote will be held at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park, Cupertino, California, and will be streamed worldwide for free on Apple’s website, YouTube, and the Apple TV app. Alongside the iPhone 17, Apple is expected to introduce a variety of new products and software updates during the event.
The keynote will reveal the details of Apple’s upcoming devices, including pricing, availability, and specifications. The event is expected to last up to two hours. In the past, Apple has released the final beta of its iPhone software immediately following the keynote.
Pre-orders for the iPhone 17 series are anticipated to begin on Friday, September 12. This would follow Apple’s usual pattern of launching pre-orders on the Friday after the event. In previous years, Apple has allowed customers to log onto its website the night before pre-orders to select specific models, storage options, and colors, placing the items in their shopping bags so they can complete the purchase immediately once pre-orders go live. It is not yet confirmed whether Apple will offer the option to do so this year.
The iPhone 17’s anticipated release date is Friday, September 19, with sales starting according to local time zones. This means that countries like New Zealand and Australia will likely receive the first units, while customers in the United States will get theirs later that same day.
