Updated Aug. 13 with further details for the full schedule of what\u2019s coming when.<\/p>\n

In less than four weeks, all will be revealed about the iPhone 17 series. That\u2019s because on Tuesday, Sept. 9, Apple will hold its keynote unveiling the new hardware, I believe. Now, a new date has been added to the mix. You can read the full schedule here<\/a> but it\u2019s also laid out in detail below.<\/p>\n

\nApple iPhone 17 Release Date: The New Entry In The Schedule<\/p>\n

Mark Gurman\u2019s Bloomberg Power On newsletter is always full of interesting nuggets. In the latest<\/a> issue, he mentioned something that has so far been absent from release date schedules. Among all the talk of the keynote date, the onsale date and even the date for when the keynote date will be unveiled (all of which are below, with timings down to the minute), there has been scant talk of the release for iOS 26.<\/p>\n

More than in recent years, the new software has captured the public\u2019s imagination this year. Although iOS 26 will be pre-installed on the iPhone 17 series, it will also work on iPhones all the way back to the iPhone 11. So, when will it go on general release?<\/p>\n

Gurman commented that the new software is \u201cpretty smooth\u201d, and has since said on X<\/a> that the latest, sixth developer beta is \u201cridiculously snappy\u201d. So much so that \u201cit\u2019s clear that we\u2019re pretty close to the release of the final, public versions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

I believe it\u2019s possible to pin the release down further than \u201cthe first half of September,\u201d as Gurman comments.<\/p>\n

Last year, iOS 18 went on general release on Monday, Sept. 16, exactly a week after the keynote and four days before the Friday, Sept. 20 onsale date of the iPhone 16 series.<\/p>\n

I believe this year\u2019s general release for iOS 26 will follow a near-identical schedule, and will be available from around 10 a.m. Pacific on either Monday, Sept. 15 or just possibly Tuesday, Sept. 16.<\/p>\n

I favor the Monday because excitement in the new software is so high Apple will want it out as soon as it can, plus, it seems in good shape already.<\/p>\n

iPhone 17 Release Date: The Full Schedule<\/p>\n

As for the rest of the schedule, here are the most important dates. I\u2019ll also update this post as soon as any are confirmed officially.<\/p>\n

First up is the announcement of the keynote. This is likely to be around 8 a.m Pacific, on Tuesday, Aug. 26. This is when invites are sent out by email to selected members of the press and special guests. The exact time is subject to an hour or so\u2019s leeway, and it\u2019s even possible that the invites will go out a day before. Check back here for details as soon as it\u2019s gone live.<\/p>\n

The next big piece of the puzzle will be the keynote itself. The time will be 10 a.m. Pacific, as this is always Apple\u2019s chosen time for Cupertino unveilings. I believe it will be on Tuesday, Sept. 9 and the possibility of a date change now seems vanishingly small.<\/p>\n

Pre-orders open: 8 a.m. Pacific, Friday Sept. 12. Reviews appear: Tuesday, Sept. 16 or Wednesday, Sept. 17, likely 6 a.m. Pacific. Onsale date: Friday, Sept. 19 at 7.a.m. wherever you are.<\/p>\n
