Release dates, colors and everything else you need to know about Apple’s new phones

After seeing the upcoming changes with iOS 26, we are ready to see the latest group of Apple smartphones: iPhone 17. Although this is still more than a month away – assuming that Apple is committed to the usual release schedule – we have not completely left in the dark about the shape of new phones. As with most unprecedented iPhone models, rumors and leaks have fallen around the side of the devices before the official introduction. Here is what we expect and what we can do in a reasonable manner that we will get it from Cuperno in September.

What are the latest rumors and iPhone 17?

Again, not all iPhone rumors are created equally, and they should all be taken with a grain of salt. The latest comes from a Macromors The report that says the internal battery package in SuperHin iPhone Air (see below) is only 2.49 mm thick – half of the iPhone 17 Pro battery. The leak on the Korean Blog-Langau Naver, is spread, where they display the alleged batteries of the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro side by side. The same account claimed that the 17 Air battery capacity was just 2800 mAh, Macromors Notes. (This is less than the battery capacity of the current iPhone 16 models.)

When will the iPhone 17 series be announced?

In most years, the leading smartphones are presented in September. It is a little early to have specific dates; In some years, Apple provides only a week or two weeks between the time between sending invitations and hosting the event. But years of previous precedents show that at some point in September it should be when the 17 models appear for the first time. This family of smartphones may be the last to follow this trend. There were hints that the introduction of the iPhone 18 in 2026 would be divided into a supporter declaration of the second in the fall and a standard model in the next spring.

What will include the new iPhone 17 collection?

Design leaks indicate that Apple builds a very thin smartphone, and IPHOne 17 Air is likely to be named to suit the appointment of Apple light laptop. BloombergMark Gurman, which is often a strong source of Advanced Intel about Apple, stated in January that Aphone 17 Air will be equipped with a basic A19 chip and will not have only one camera lens. The new interior Apple mode, which was presented in February, may also be used on the iPhone 16E. More details may leak about this development before September, but this is what we know now.

The investor note from the Apple Jeff PU analyst indicated that the air will have a titanium frame. If its reports are accurate, the smartphone will be lightweight is the only entry in the iPhone 17 for using this metal; IPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected to be an aluminum, which is a strange lighter than titanium in a strange way. Other speculation has indicated that the air will use an aluminum and and titanium, and therefore microorganisms may not be known until the official announcement.

Each new list includes a key model, but over the years, Apple shakes a variety of phones it offers. Most likely there will be iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro. Apple also adhered to Matters SIZE philosophy, and she built the iPhone Pro Max option with a larger screen and better battery life; It is almost certain that the list of 17 has one as well.

It is said that the new iPhone devices have a fully -width “camera” in the back, which would form the first time the Apple model chooses this design. This feature can be seen in the alleged iPhone 17 “monitored in the wild”. Pictures, concluded on MacromorsShow iPhone Black Cover (17 Pro?) With the distinctive back plate. Is it the real deal? Double angles add a degree of credibility in the increasingly contaminated social media scene using a mixture of artificial intelligence, but your guessy is good like us.

IPhone 17 Air seems to be in a hurry to replace iPhone 17 Plus. Since the iPhone 16e was just introduced in February only with an amazing high price point, it seems unlikely to be a new addition to the lower end of the spectrum, the forms that were previously called SE.

At least, it appears that the iPhone 17 Air will not take away the charging port and depends only on wireless contact. Bloomberg He said that although Apple has searched the manufacture of iPhone 17 Air without one port, the company (fortunately) changed the plans. It also says that the radiant phone will have a 6.6 -inch screen and includes the island’s control button and the dynamic camera. Finally, the price is rumored at $ 900 – more likely than the standard iPhone 17 but less than professionals.

We also seem to have a reliable look at what the color assortment of new smartphones would be. Macworld I mentioned that the iPhone 17 will be available in black, white, steel, green, purple and light blue. According to what was reported, iPhone 17 Air will have color options: black, white, light blue and light gold. Although the air colors will be less saturated, the visual images of iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will become bold. Professional styles options are expected to be black, white, gray, dark blue and orange.

On July 30, Tom guide Sonny Dickson – Long -term and reliable leakage is generally highlighted from unpublished iPhone information – shows iPhone “Dummy” models in new colors that were a source of allowing the above -mentioned. Macworld story. Although these literally leaked samples-are not interesting-interesting to see how design and color rumors translate into appearance and appearance in the real world.

How will iOS 26?

Apple has raised numbering agreements with WWDC 2025, and will match the name of each new operating system until the year released. So when the next wave is hit by iPhone, it will work on iOS 26.

On the design side, the smart operating system that was presented during the Big Developer view took a controversial approach called liquid glass. Apple has reduced the amount of transparency effects in the subsequent beta tests of the iOS 26, but it will remain visible similar to the glass.

The list of features includes large and small updates. On the most influential aspect, phone and photos apps have been redesigned. There will be many features that benefit from artificial intelligence, such as the live translation capabilities to phone, messages and messages. Apple is also currently testing a content -sensitive warning for children’s accounts that will freeze the FaceTime video if nudity is discovered by machine learning tools on devices. The company also launches Visual Intelligence, which will use artificial intelligence to search for elements in a form.

IOS 26 also contains a set of slight improvements in the quality of life. Collective texts receive support polls. As for the slow risers there, iOS 26 will finally allow you to escape from the tyranny of nine warning for nine minutes.

The next iOS is now available as one of the general experimental stage. Below our initial impressions of liquid glass design and other new features. IOS 26 is compatible with all models again through iPhone 11.
