Apple iPhone 17 Keynote
Date, time and place: Tuesday, Sept. 9, 10 a.m. Pacific, Steve Jobs Theater
The next special event is nearly here. It will, almost certainly, be a pre-recorded video introduced by CEO Tim Cook. And it will feature, indubitably, four new iPhones, at least two Apple Watches and perhaps new AirPods. The phones will be the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and a super-thin model possibly called iPhone 17 Air.
It will be screened in the 1,000-seater Steve Jobs Theater in the Apple Park campus in Cupertino, to press and special guests.
If you didn’t get your invitation (what an oversight!), don’t worry, you can tune in to the simultaneous broadcast. Here’s how.
The official YouTube livestream is here. Or go to the Apple TV app on your Apple TV, iPad, Mac or iPhone. Finally, go to apple.com/apple-events. Right now, this has a placeholder and you can add this to your calendar.
Apple iPhone 17 Pre-Orders
Date and time Friday, Sept. 12, 5.am Pacific — to be confirmed
This will be announced at the keynote, but it’s likely to be the same as last year, that is, early on the Friday after the unveiling.
You may be able to get in early by logging on to apple.com the night before and choosing the items you want, to place them in the shopping bag ready for Friday’s pre-orders going live.
iOS 26 General Release
Date and time Monday, Sept. 15, 5.am Pacific — to be confirmed
This is the software that will work with the iPhone 17 series and all iPhones right back to iPhone 11.
The new software is in public beta right now, but will be available to all, likely on the Monday after the keynote. It seems to be in good shape now, so it could even come earlier.
Apple iPhone 17 Onsale Date
Date and time Friday, Sept. 19, 7.am local — to be confirmed
We’ll know this information at the keynote, too, but it’s always a Friday, and usually first thing, wherever you are.
