Apple usually sends out invites in late August, but history and habit suggest this year’s iPhone event will fall on September 9.

Apple is set to launch the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air next month. Thinner than the Galaxy S25 Edge, it features a 6.7-inch 120Hz OLED display, A19 chip, 48MP camera, and starts at ₹90,000 in India. Here's what to expect.

According to media reports, the iPhone 18 series could feature four models, including the iPhone 18 Air, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and a foldable iPhone.

With a thickness of 5.8mm, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge is seen as the main competitor to Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Air. The South Korean smartphone model was launched on May 13. Expected to replace the Plus models, the iPhone 17 Air targets Apple’s more affordable segment with an ultra-slim, sleek design.

From a thinner design to an upgraded selfie camera, here are five totally new features reportedly coming this year.

As is typical with the feature gap between standard and pro models, rumors suggest the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max (as well as the Air) will get the newest A19 chip, while the regular iPhone 17 will get the same A18 chip that powered last year's iPhone 16.

Along with the iPhone 17 lineup, Apple is expected to announce updates to the Apple Watch, AirPods, Apple TV, and HomePod.

All new iPhone 17 models, including the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and Pro Max, for the US market, are now manufactured in India as Apple doubles down on reducing its reliance on China for US-bound iPhones.

The thinner handset could feature a 5.5mm profile and replace the iPhone Plus model. The iPhone "Air" will reportedly replace the iPhone Plus model. It could measure 5.5mm thick and have a 6.6-inch display.
