We’ve previously suggested Tuesday, September 9 as the most likely date for the iPhone 17 event, and a new report says that internal documents held by carriers confirms this.That would mean pre-orders on September 12, shipping on September 19 … Sep 9 had always looked likely Back in July, we looked at what history could tell us about the iPhone 17 release date.Based on the patterns seen between 2021 and 2024, we narrowed it down to the week commencing September 8.
We noted that Tuesday was the most likely day.Internal carrier documents support this Mobile carriers need to make their own preparations for the launch and sale.German site says it got sight of internal documents from at least one local carrier, giving the launch date as September 9.
The three key dates you need to know There’s a completely consistent pattern in what happens after the keynote.Pre-orders open on the Friday of the same week, and ship on the following Friday.This would mean the following schedule: iPhone 17 keynote: Tue 9 September Pre-orders open: Fri 12 September First orders ship and retail sale begins: Fri 19 September Do you already know which model, if any, you will be buying?
