A new report from internal carrier documents confirms that Apple will launch the iPhone 17 on September 9th, with pre-orders opening on September 12th and shipping starting on September 19th. This date falls in line with a consistent pattern observed between previous iPhone releases.
The report suggests that Apple tends to favor Tuesdays for iPhone launches, but last year’s event was moved to Monday to avoid conflicting with the US Presidential Debate. Internal documents from German mobile phone providers confirm that this year’s launch will be on Tuesday, September 9th, marking the next major Apple event in exactly 35 days.
This release follows a pattern where pre-orders open on the Friday of the same week and ship on the following Friday. If you’re planning to buy an iPhone 17, it’s essential to know which model you’ll be purchasing, as this will impact your decision. The official Apple Store is now available on Amazon, offering a range of accessories for the upcoming device.
Note: A completely consistent pattern has been observed in what happens after the keynote for iPhone releases. This includes pre-orders opening on the Friday of the same week and shipping starting on the following Friday.
