Liberation dates, colors and everything you need to know about the new Apple phones

After seeing the The changes came with iOS 26We are ready to see finally the new collection of Apple smartphones: the iPhone 17 range. Although it is even more than a month old – assuming that Apple sticks to its usual outing program – we have not been completely ignorant of what the new phones will look like. As with most unpublished iPhone models, rumors and leaks have almost flowed the material side before the official introduction. Here is what we expect and what we can reasonably assume that we will get from Cupertino in September.

What are the latest rumors and reports of the iPhone 17?

Again, all iPhone rumors are not equal, and everything must be taken with a grain of salt. The last comes from a Macrumors report which indicates that the internal battery of the new air of the iPhone Superthin (see below) is only 2.49 mm thick – half the thickness of the battery of the iPhone 17 Pro. The leak was published on the Korean-Langauge Naver blogWhere they show the alleged batteries of the air iPhone 17 and 17 pro side by side. The same account said that the capacity of the 17 -year -old battery was only 2,800 mAh, Macrumors Notes. (It is below the battery capacity of current models of the iPhone 16.)

When will the iPhone 17 series be announced?

Most of the years, flagship smartphones are presented in September. It is a bit early to have the specific dates; Some years, Apple only gives a week or two delay between sending invitations and the organization of the event. But years of previous past show that in September, should be when the 17 models would make their debut. This family of smartphones can however be the last to follow this trend. There have been indications that the introduction of the iPhone 18 collection in 2026 will be divide In a pro-TAD advertisement in the fall and a standard model announcement in the following spring.

What will the new iPhone 17 range understand?

Design leaks suggest that Apple builds a Ultra-thin smartphoneLikely to be named the air of the iPhone 17 to correspond to the designation of Apple ultralime laptop. Bloombergis Mark Gurman, often a solid source of advanced Intel on Apple, reported In January, the air of the iPhone 17 will be equipped with a basic A19 chip and will have only one camera goal. It can also use the new internal modem of Apple, which was introduced in February on the iPhone 16th. More details on this development can flee before September, but that’s what we know for the moment.

An investor note from the Apple analyst Jeff Pu noted that the air will have a titanium frame. If its reports are correct, the light smartphone will be the only entry into the iPhone 17 range to use this metal; The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max should be aluminum, which is strangely lighter material than titanium. Other speculations had suggested that air would use a mixture of aluminum and titanium, so that exact materials may not be known before the official announcement.

Each new list includes a basic model, but over the years, Apple shakes the variety of phones it offers. There will most likely be an iPhone 17 and an iPhone 17 Pro. Apple has also embarked on the philosophy of the size of the questions and built an iPhone Pro Max option with an even larger screen and a better battery life; List 17 will almost certainly also have one.

New iPhones have a full -width “camera island” at the back, which would mark the first time that Apple model has opted for this design. This feature can be seen in the IPhone 17 claimed “spotted in nature”. Photos, highlighted on MacrumorsDisplay an iPhone with black housing (17 pro?) With the separate rear panel. Is this the real deal? The double angles give a certain degree of credibility in a social media landscape increasingly polluted by false improvements in AI, but your assumption is as good as ours.

The iPhone 17 air seems ready to replace a more potential iPhone 17. Since the iPhone 16th has just been presented in February to A surprisingly high priceIt seems unlikely that there is a new addition to this lower end of the spectrum, the models which were previously called SE.

At the very least, it seems that the air of the iPhone 17 will remove the load port and does not only be based on wireless connectivity. Bloomberg said that even if Apple had investigated the manufacturing of the iPhone 17 air without a single port, the company (fortunately) changed plans. He also says that the rumor phone will have a 6.6 -inch screen and will include the dynamic island and the camera control button. Finally, the price is subject to $ 900 – probably more than the standard iPhone 17 but less than the pro.

We have also obtained what seems to be a reliable overview of the range of colors for new smartphones. Macworld reported that the iPhone 17 will be available in black, white, steel gray, green, purple and light blue. The iPhone 17 air would have four color options: black, white, light blue and light gold. Although the air colors will be less saturated, the visuals of the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max will become daring. The options for pro models should be black, white, gray, dark blue and orange.

July 30, Tom guide highlighted a post X of Sonny Dickson – a long -standing and generally reliable leak in unpublished iPhone information – showing the “dummy” models iPhone 17 in the new colors that were behind the abovemention Macworld history. Although it is literally only models – no real disclosed iPhones – it is interesting to see how the conception and color rumors result in a real appearance and sensation.

What will iOS 26 look like?

Apple has upset its numbering agreements with WWDC 2025, and will correspond to the name of each new operating system at the year it is published. So when the next wave of iphones come out, they will run iOS 26.

On the design side, the smartphone operating system introduced during the developer’s large showcase adopted a controversial approach nicknamed Liquid Glass. Apple was drafting The amount of transparency effects in the subsequent beta tests of iOS 26, but it will always have a glass visual.

The list of features includes large and small updates. On the one hand more impactful, phone and photos applications have been redesigned. There will be several features taking advantage of artificial intelligence, such as live translation capacities coming on the phone, facetime and messages. Apple also currently tests a significant content warning for children’s accounts that Freeze Video Facetime If nudity is detected by automatic learning tools available. And the company also launches Visual Intelligence, which will use AI to search for elements in an image.

iOS 26 also has a litany of minor improvements of quality of life. Group texts obtain support for polls. And for slow elevators there, iOS 26 will finally let you escape the tyranny of Nine -minute rehearsal alarm.

The next iOS is now available as public beta. Here are our first impressions of the Liquid glass design and other new features. iOS 26 is compatible With all models via iPhone 11.
