Apple Teases iPhone 17 Launch in September

Apple unveiled a plan to host its new product launch on 9 September. It is expected that the tech giant would include its iPhone 17 lineup and a new slim version of its iconic device.

CEO Tim Cook stated in a post on X: “Get ready for an awe dropping #AppleEvent.” Apple’s iPhone 17 family of smartphones is expected to include redesigned iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models, which will feature new backs with larger camera areas. The standard iPhone 17 will appear similar to the current iPhone 16 but with a larger display and camera improvements.

The thinner iPhone 17 could be Apple’s first entirely new device in years. It is expected to be about 2 millimeters slimmer than current models, but will have a shorter battery life and just one camera. Consumers and analysts will be keen to hear about any AI updates by the iPhone maker. Apple is languishing behind rivals in the development of generative AI models, which can be used on its devices.
