Everything we know about Apple's new telephones

Apple announces the new additions to its smartphone list in autumn, and the iPhone 17 is the upcoming collection. We have learned a lot about what can be expected on the software side during the company's WWDC presentation, but there were also several leaks and rumors about the hardware page before the official introduction of the phones. We know the following and what we expect from Cupertino this autumn.

When will the iPhone 17 series be announced?

In most years, the flagship smartphones will be introduced in September. It is a little early to have the specific data. In a few years, Apple only gives a lead time for one or two weeks between sending invitations and hosting the event. But years of precedence, show that there should be their debut at some point in September if the 17 models make their debut. However, this family of smartphones may be the last one that follows this trend. There were indications that the introduction of the iPhone 18 collection in 2026 in autumn will be a pro animal announcement and a standard model announcement in the following spring.

What will the new iPhone 17 list contain?

Design leaves indicate that Apple builds an ultra-thin smartphone and is probably becoming the iPhone 17 Air to meet the ultra-light laptop name of Apple. BloombergMark Gurman, often a solid source for advanced Intel via Apple, reported in January that the iPhone 17 air will be equipped with a simple A19 chip and only has a single camera lens. It can also use Apple's new internal modem, which was introduced on the iPhone 16E in February. Further details about this development can run before September, but we know that for the time being.

An investor note by Apple Analyst Jeff PU that the air will have a titanium frame. If its reports are correct, the light smartphone is the only entry in the iPhone 17 series to use this metal. The iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected to consist of aluminum, which is strangely a lighter material than titanium. Other speculations had to use the air to use a mixture of aluminum and titanium, so that the exact materials are only known in the official announcement.

Each new list contains a basic model, but over the years Apple trembles the diversity of the telephones he has offered. Most likely there will be an iPhone 17 and an iPhone 17 Pro. Apple has also committed itself to the philosophy of size matters and created an iPhone Pro Max option with an even larger screen and a better battery life. The 17 list will almost certainly have one.

The iPhone 17 air seems to be prepared, in the place of a potential iPhone 17 Plus. Since the iPhone 16e was only introduced at a surprisingly high price in February, it seems unlikely that the lower end of the spectrum, which was previously mentioned as a models, will give a new addition.

At least it sounds like the iPhone 17 Air is not taking the loading connection away and only rely on wireless connectivity. Bloomberg While Apple had examined the iPhone 17 without a single port, the company (luckily) changed the plans. He also says that the rumored phone has a 6.6-inch screen and includes the Dynamic Island and Camera Control key. After all, the price for 900 US dollars is rumored -probably more than the standard -iPhone 17, but less than the professional.

We have also received a reliable look at the color layout for the new smartphones. reported that the iPhone 17 in black, white, steel gray, green, purple and light blue will be available. The iPhone 17 air is said to have four color options: black, white, light blue and light gold. While the air colors are less saturated, the visuals for the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max will become. It is expected that the options for the Pro models will be black, white, gray, dark blue and orange.

How will iOS 26 be?

Apple has improved its numbering conventions with WWDC 2025 and will correspond to the name of each new operating system until the year in which it is published. If the next wave of iPhones occurs, you will run on iOS 26.

On the design page, the smartphone operating system introduced during the Big Developer Showcase followed a controversial approach, which was referred to as liquid glass. Apple was the amount of transparency effects in the following beta tests of iOS 26, but it will still have a glass-like picture.

The functional list contains large and small updates. The telephone and photos apps were redesigned on the more effective page. There will be several functions that use artificial intelligence, e.g. B. Live translation functions that come to the phone, Facetime and messages. Apple is currently also testing a sensitive content warning for subordinate accounts. And the company also starts visual intelligence with which AI will search for elements in one picture.

IOS 26 also has a litani of minor improvements in the quality of life. Group texts receive support for surveys. And for the slow risers out there, iOS 26 will finally escape the tyranny of tyranny. Here is an overview of iOS 26 so far and which smartphones, apart from the upcoming 17 collection.
