📱 iPhone 17 — all the biggest rumors in one place

Summary: In September 2025 Apple is expected to launch four new models: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air (Slim), 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. The most important changes include the ultra-thin Air, 120 Hz displays across the entire lineup, a new horizontal camera bar and a 24 MP front camera. Face ID under the display most likely won’t arrive this year.

📆 When is the release?

The new iPhone 17 models will be unveiled traditionally in September 2025. The exact date of the keynote is not yet known.

📱 iPhone 17 lineup

• iPhone 17 (base model)
• iPhone 17 Air (Slim) — new, ultra-thin version
• iPhone 17 Pro

Important note: the Plus model disappears — its place is taken by the Air.
