Updated Aug. 8 with more details of exactly what\u2019s coming and when. <\/p>\n

In September, Apple will launch the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and an all-new model that\u2019s especially slim and is nicknamed iPhone 17 Air. Here\u2019s everything that will happen between now and the day you can buy one, down to the minute, including when pre-orders will open, how you may be able to jump to the head of that line, and when to expect reviews of the phones to appear.<\/p>\n

And remember, everything here applies to Apple Watch as well, as the Apple Watch Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 3 (with a bigger-than-ever display) are also predicted to appear, possibly alongside Apple Watch SE 3rd generation and Apple AirPods Pro 3.<\/p>\n

iPhone 17: Keynote Announcement<\/p>\n

The keynote is when Apple will reveal its new handsets (plus new Apple Watch models, including an Apple Watch Ultra 3 which may have the biggest display yet). I believe it will be announced at around 8 a.m. Pacific on Tuesday, Aug. 26. You can read full details of the announcement and how it will happen here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

iPhone 17: Keynote at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9<\/p>\n

Once the keynote has been announced, around two weeks will pass until it takes place. Unless there\u2019s a major surprise, it will be in the 1,000-seater Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park, the company\u2019s Cupertino headquarters.<\/p>\n

It will start at 10 a.m. Pacific, 1 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. U.K. time.<\/p>\n

As for the date, that\u2019s looking increasingly likely to be the date I predicted in July: Tuesday, Sept. 9 \u2014 a recent leak<\/a> points to the same date. That said, things can still change, so the Monday or Wednesday of that week are still possible.<\/p>\n

Much less likely is an event in the week before: Labor Day would push the event to the Wednesday instead of the Tuesday events Apple likes best and it would clash with the Berlin tech show IFA, so many favored press would be in the wrong country.<\/p>\n

By 12 noon Pacific, we\u2019ll know all the new iPhones by name, and have access to all their secrets, including pricing.<\/p>\n

iPhone 17: Pre-Orders Friday, Sept. 12<\/p>\n

The date for pre-orders opening is routinely the Friday following the keynote. The time, if it\u2019s the same as last year, will be 5 a.m. Pacific, 8 a.m. Eastern, 1 p.m. U.K.<\/p>\n

Sometimes Apple lets customers get ahead of the curve by choosing their preferred phone (model, color and storage level) the night before and put them in their shopping bag ready for pre-orders to open the following day.<\/p>\n

Note also that it\u2019s possible that not all phones will be released on the same day, even though they\u2019ll be announced together. This has happened in the past when there have been new categories, for instance.<\/p>\n

iPhone 17: Reviews<\/p>\n

Reviews from selected press will be under embargo until one day in the run-up to release. For the iPhone, this will likely be Tuesday, Sept. 16 or Wednesday, Sept. 17.<\/p>\n

The timing can change but the embargo lift is often at 6 a.m. Pacific, 9 a.m. Eastern, 2 p.m. U.K.iPhone 17: Release Date Friday, Sept.19<\/p>\n

This is customarily the Friday in the week following the keynote, and will be in the morning. Usually, this is 7 a.m. local time.<\/p>\n
