iPhone 17 Pro Max - GOING ALL OUT! 🔥
The iPhone 17 event is anticipated to take place in September, continuing Apple’s tradition of unveiling its flagship smartphones in the autumn. While the exact date remains unconfirmed, rumors suggest the announcement might occur around September 9, based on information from German mobile operators.
The iPhone 17 series is expected to launch with the latest iOS 26 preinstalled, featuring several new design and hardware innovations. Among the most notable rumors is the introduction of an ultra-thin model dubbed the iPhone 17 Air, which is anticipated to be Apple's lightest smartphone to date. This model will reportedly feature a titanium frame, distinguishing it from the rest of the lineup, which is expected to use aluminum, a surprisingly lighter material. The iPhone 17 Air is also rumored to house a basic A19 CPU, a single-camera setup, and a new in-house modem that debuted with the iPhone 16e.

00:00The iPhone 17 event is likely in September. What to expect from Apple's impending debut?
00:06Here are all the iPhone 17 rumors and leaks coming up to the autumn reveal.
00:11We're still waiting for Apple to make the formal announcement for the iPhone event that usually takes place in September.
00:17At that occasion, they'll present the new iPhone 17 series, which will come packed with the latest iOS 26 capabilities preloaded,
00:25as well as any other innovations Apple reveals at the launch event.
00:28But because we still have to wait a few weeks until the iPhone presentation, we can only conjecture what the new gadgets will look like.
00:36As with other unreleased devices, rumors and leaks have crept in concerning the hardware side ahead of the public announcement.
00:42Here's what we're expecting and what we can safely believe we'll get from Apple in September.
00:48Not necessarily a new rumor, but Bloomberg's Mark Gurman believes there actually will be a new orange color offered for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max,
00:57as well as a light blue hue for the iPhone 17 Air.
01:00He confirmed in his weekly Power on Newsletter.
01:03Additionally, we have a new case rumor.
01:06According to Leaker Majin Buu, there will be new liquid silicone cases in eight hues,
01:11including deep orange, pale orange, grass green, celadon, fog purple, gray blue, dark blue, and midnight black.
01:18These reports haven't been confirmed by Apple, and we won't know what the actual iPhone 17 models will look like until the iPhone presentation next month.
01:28How much will the iPhone 17 cost?
01:30Apple's announced desire to recruit U.S.-based manufacturing partners looks to give it at least some insulation from the highest Trump administration tariffs
01:38that have already forced price spikes on everything from PlayStations to switch consoles to high-end cameras to Sonos speakers.
01:46But given that President Trump's trade policy might change from week to week,
01:49and Apple's continuous reliance on Asia-based supply chains, price surprises remain an ongoing risk.
01:56The greater concern is, will Apple absorb any extra costs or pass them on to consumers?
02:02If costs do creep up, Apple may choose to match it with an upgrade.
02:06Consider this latest claim reported by Instant Digital, suggesting that the default storage of the iPhone 17 series may start at 256 gigs,
02:16double the current 128 gigs baseline.
02:20When will the iPhone 17 series be announced?
02:23Most years, the flagship smartphones are introduced in September.
02:27McCrumors highlighted a claim originally reported by iPhone-Ticker.de that the Apple iPhone 17 event could occur Tuesday, September 9,
02:35according to information collected from German mobile phone operators.
02:40It's still too early to have the particular dates.
02:42Some years, Apple just gives a week or two of lead time between distributing invites and conducting the event.
02:48But years of prior experience imply that sometime in September should be when the 17 models make their appearance.
02:55This line of smartphones may be the last to follow that pattern, however.
02:59There have been hints that the release of the iPhone 18 collection in 2026 will be split into a pro-tier announcement in the fall
03:06and a standard model announcement the following spring.
03:10What will the new iPhone 17 lineup include?
03:13Design rumors imply that Apple is constructing an ultra-thin smartphone,
03:17expected to be designated the iPhone 17 Air to match Apple's lightest laptop classification.
03:22Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, often a credible source of advanced intel regarding Apple,
03:28said in January that the iPhone 17 Air will be equipped with a basic A19 CPU and will just feature a single camera lens.
03:36It may also feature Apple's new in-house modem, which was unveiled in February on the iPhone 16e.
03:43More facts concerning this development may surface ahead of September.
03:46That's what we know for now.
03:47An investor note from Apple analyst Jeff Pugh indicated that the Air will have a titanium frame.
03:54If his allegations are right, the lightweight smartphone will be the only entry in the iPhone 17 series to employ that metal.
04:01The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected to be constructed of aluminum,
04:08which is oddly a lighter material than titanium.
04:11Their conjecture had stated that the Air might use a blend of aluminum and titanium,
04:16thus the actual materials may not be revealed until the official announcement.
04:21Additionally, an August 4 rumor indicates the internal battery pack of the iPhone Air is barely 2.49 millimeters thick,
04:29half the thickness of the iPhone 17 Pro battery.
04:32The leak was shared on the Korean-language NAVR blog,
04:35where they show the claimed batteries of the iPhone 17 Air and 17 Pro side-by-side.
04:40The same story said the 17 Air's battery capacity was a measly 2,800 milliamps.
04:48On a similar topic, an iPhone 17 Pro production leak appears to have revealed an all-aluminum chassis.
04:54Originally released by leaker Majin Buu, the image depicts a shell that has a large round hole on the rear,
05:00where the Apple logo generally appears, to enable for mag-safe charging.
05:04Thinks this could just be a molding but notes that the aluminum frame,
05:08unlike the existing titanium in Pro iPhone models, would produce a substantially reduced weight.
05:14That same leaker Majin Buu, whom defines as a hit-or-miss leaker,
05:19believes the iPhone 17 Pro will have better wireless signal strength thanks to a new antenna design.
05:25The guy uploaded a render on X that shows a new antenna system that wraps around the iPhone 17 Pro's reportedly bigger back-camera hump.
05:33Again, this is a render, not a real-world photo.
05:37That again, we can't dismiss the goal of better wireless coverage,
05:41so we're hoping this one has a degree of truth to it.
05:44Leaker Majin Buu also claims tech-woven situations could be added.
05:48The cases mirror the speculated design on the iPhone 17 models, with the wide-camera bulge.
05:54The leaker said there are two lanyard holes for convenient and secure carrying,
05:58so it could be worn around your neck.
06:00The hues would come in gray or black, blue, green, purple, and orange.
06:06Each new roster has a base model, but over the years, Apple has changed up the variety of phones it sells.
06:12Most likely, there will be an iPhone 17 and an iPhone 17 Pro.
06:16Apple has also committed to the Size Matters principle,
06:20and has been constructing an iPhone Pro Max alternative with an even bigger screen and longer battery life.
06:25The 17 lineup will almost probably feature one as well.
06:30The new Pro iPhones are believed to sport a full-width camera island on the rear,
06:34which would mark the first time an Apple model chose for that design.
06:38This feature can be observed on the supposed iPhone 17 spotted in the wild.
06:43Is it the real deal?
06:44The twin viewpoints provide a degree of credibility in a social media ecosystem,
06:50increasingly plagued with AI-enhanced fakes, but your guess is as good as ours.
06:54The iPhone 17 Air seems prepared to take the place of a hypothetical iPhone 17 Plus.
07:00Since the iPhone 16 was only just introduced in February at a rather high price range,
07:06it seems doubtful that there would be a new addition to that lower end of the spectrum,
07:09the devices that were previously designated SE.
07:13At the very least, it sounds like the iPhone 17 Air won't take away the charging connector
07:18and rely entirely on wireless connectivity.
07:22Bloomberg claimed that while Apple had examined manufacturing the iPhone 17 Air without a single port,
07:28the company, fortunately, changed plans.
07:31He also states that the speculated phone will feature a 6.6-inch screen
07:35and contain the dynamic island and camera control button.
07:38Finally, the price is rumored at $900, likely more than the normal iPhone 17 but less than the Pro.
07:46We've also acquired what seems to be a reliable peak at what the color lineup will be for the upcoming smartphones.
07:52Macworld said that the iPhone 17 will be available in black, white, steel gray, green, purple, and light blue.
07:59The iPhone 17 Air will reportedly offer four color options, black, white, light blue, and light gold.
08:06While the Air colors will be less vivid, the visuals on the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will go bold.
08:14The possibilities for the Pro models are rumored to be black, white, gray, dark blue, and orange.
08:20On July 30, Sonny Dixon, a veteran and typically reliable leaker of upcoming iPhone information,
08:27displaying dummy iPhone 17 units in the new colors.
08:30While these are literally just mock-ups, not real, leaked iPhones,
08:34it's intriguing to see how the design and color rumors translate into a real-world appearance and feel.
08:40To add to the rumors, a Weibo leaker identified as Digital Chat Station believes the iPhone 17e
08:46would arrive equipped with a new design that features the dynamic island.
08:51The next phone would have the A19 CPU and could have a 6.1-inch OLED display
08:57with a front-facing 12-megapixel camera and a rear-facing 48-megapixel sensor.
09:02However, it's vital to note this claim pertains to the 17e model
09:06that would be projected to ship no earlier than February 2026
09:10if it followed the same release pattern as the iPhone 16e.
09:15What will iOS 26 be like?
09:18Apple appended its numbering standards with Worldwide Developers Conference 2025
09:22and will match the name of each new operating system to the year it's released.
09:27So when the next wave of iPhones hits, they'll be running on iOS 26.
09:31On the design side, the smartphone OS presented during the large developer showcase
09:36used a disputed approach termed liquid glass.
09:40Apple has been toning down the amount of transparency effects
09:43in the successive beta tests of iOS 26,
09:46although it will still have a glass-like look.
09:49The feature list contains significant and little updates.
09:52On the more significant side, the phone and photos applications have been overhauled.
09:57There will be various innovations employing artificial intelligence,
10:00including as live translation capabilities coming to phone, FaceTime, and messages.
10:06Apple is also now testing a sensitive content warning for child accounts
10:10that will stop FaceTime video if nudity is identified by on-device machine learning algorithms.
10:15And the company is also developing visual intelligence,
10:18which will utilize AI to search for elements in an image.
10:21iOS 26 also features a litany of minor quality-of-life enhancements.
10:27Group texts are garnering support for polling.
10:30And for the sluggish risers out there,
10:32iOS 26 will finally allow you escape the prison of the 9-minute snooze alarm.
10:37The latest iOS is currently available as a public beta.
10:41Here are our initial impressions on the liquid glass design and other new features.
10:45iOS 26 is compatible with all models back through iPhone 11.
10:49One additional goods are planned to be announced alongside the iPhone 17.
10:54If Apple follows its normal pattern,
10:56the iPhone 17 will be revealed with new Apple Watch items.
11:00That would be the Apple Watch Series 11,
11:02assuming Apple continues to the same naming strategy,
11:05and maybe an Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Slash or an improved Apple Watch SE.
11:11They'll all run watchOS 26, of course.
11:13Other options, and this is, again, guesswork,
11:17may include refurbished Apple AirPods Pro,
11:19which had its last substantial update in 2022,
11:22and may be new AirTags trackers originally released in 2021.
11:27Of all, even if the list is absolutely accurate,
11:30we may not see those products until 2026, if ever.
11:34So don't anticipate all of products to share the stage with the iPhone 17,
11:38especially because Apple loves to keep its star performance in the center of attention.
11:42That said, keep in mind that Apple has recently been hosting
11:46Mac-centric announcements in late October,
11:48as it did last year to launch new and for Macs.
11:51So there's always the prospect of another shoe dropping a few weeks down the road.
11:55So, that's all we know for now.
11:58We'll be sure to keep you updated as soon as we have more information.
12:01Thanks for watching.
