ForbesApple iPhone 17 Pro: Striking New Design Leaks In Latest ReportBy David Phelan<\/a><\/p>\n1. Apple Announces Keynote Details
\nDate and time expected: 8 a.m. Pacific, Tuesday, Aug. 26<\/p>\n
Apple likes to make a splash with its announcement that a special event is coming. If it sticks to the same timetable as previous years, Aug. 26 will be the day, two weeks before the keynote. The following week is the big electronics show IFA in Berlin, and an announcement then could get lost in the noise so Apple will be keen to have maximum impact. Going the week before will help with that.<\/p>\n
Wednesday, Aug. 27 is also possible, but Tuesday is the favorite. That said, whichever date it is, assuming it\u2019s in the same week, as I\u2019m certain it will be, the rest of the schedule (pre-orders, software release, reviews and release date) will be unchanged.<\/p>\n
2. Apple Keynote
\nDate and time expected: 10 a.m. Pacific, Tuesday, Sept. 9<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been calling it for this date for more than two months now, and everything seems to be on track. The day before, Monday, Sept. 8 is just possible, but I\u2019m sure Tuesday is the day.<\/p>\n
The venue will almost certainly be the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park, Apple\u2019s Cupertino headquarters.<\/p>\n
3. Pre-Orders Open
\nDate and time expected: 5 a.m. Pacific, Friday, Sept. 12<\/p>\n
Once the keynote has revealed all the secrets for the new iPhones, from the names to the specs to the prices, the next date is when pre-orders will open. Even if there is sometimes an offer where prospective buyers can put their chosen models in the shopping bag online the day before, to be ready to go the next day, pre-orders always open on the Friday after the keynote for most of the products announced.<\/p>\n
4. iOS 26 General Release
\nDate and time expected: 10 a.m. Pacific, Monday, Sept. 15<\/p>\n
The software that will power the new iPhones, and all models right back to the iPhone 11, will go on general release this day or, possibly, Tuesday, Sept. 16.<\/p>\n
5. The First Reviews
\nDate and time expected: 6 a.m. Pacific, Tuesday, Sept. 16 or Wednesday, Sept. 17<\/p>\n
The first clues to what the press think will appear before the release date. It is usually on the Tuesday before release, which will be Tuesday, Sept. 16. The time varies but in recent years it\u2019s been 6 a.m Pacific, 9 a.m. Eastern, 2 p.m. U.K. It\u2019s possible it could be the Wednesday instead, though Tuesday is favorite, I\u2019d say. The Wednesday, Sept. 17, is likely to be when the reviews of the new Apple Watches will appear. Same time of day.<\/p>\n
More reviews will follow in the coming weeks, but these will be the only ones to land before the release date.<\/p>\n
6. The Big Day: iPhone 17 Release Date
\nDate and time expected: 7 a.m. local time, Friday, Sept. 19<\/p>\n
This is it: the iPhone 17 series will hit stores and go on general sale. Unlike the other parts of the puzzle, this will be timed differently according to where you live. Australia and New Zealand are among the first places to open Apple Store doors, California rather later. Look out for photos from the Australia Apple Stores appearing during the day.<\/p>\n
If anything changes to this schedule, I\u2019ll update this post, so please check back.<\/p>\n
