iPhone 17 rumors — Apple event Sep 9: what to expect

iPhone 17 event confirmed: Sept 9, 1PM ET — what to expect

Apple confirmed its iPhone 17 event for Tuesday, September 9 at 1PM ET. Below is a concise roundup of the biggest rumors, likely specs, pricing signals, and what iOS 26 will bring when the new models ship.

Quick highlights

Top rumors & expected specs

Leaks and reporting (not confirmed) suggest:

  • iPhone 17 Air: Ultra-thin design, single camera, A19 chip, possible in-house modem, ~6.6-inch screen, rumored battery ~2,800 mAh, price rumoured around $900. It may include Dynamic Island and a Camera Control button and will keep a charging port.
  • Materials: Reports vary — Air may use titanium or a titanium/aluminum blend; Pro models may switch to an all-aluminum chassis (lighter than current titanium Pro models).
  • Pro models: Larger camera island (full-width camera island rumored), updated antenna design for better wireless reception, bold new colors (including orange), and Vapor-chamber cooling hints.
  • Storage & pricing: Rumors suggest base storage might jump to 256GB (vs 128GB today), possibly paired with a modest price increase; Apple has previously upgraded Mac RAM at no extra cost, so pricing is uncertain.
  • Accessories & cases: New Liquid Silicone and TechWoven-style cases rumored in multiple colors, some with lanyard holes.

Why this matters

Expect notable design shifts (thinner Air, full-width camera island on Pro models) and iOS 26 additions such as Live Translation in Phone/FaceTime/Messages, Visual Intelligence for image search, a Liquid Glass visual style, redesigned Phone and Photos, plus smaller quality-of-life features (polls in group texts, better alarm snooze control). iOS 26 Preview: Apple iOS 26.

What to watch on Sept 9

  • Actual battery figures and real-world camera performance for the Air vs base/Pro models.
  • Which materials Apple confirms (aluminum vs titanium) and which colors are final.
