It’s almost September, which means iPhone 17 launch season is right around the corner. Apple’s 2025 flagship event is expected to bring exciting changes — from a rumored ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air to long-awaited display upgrades.
We’ve gathered all the latest iPhone 17 rumors, leaks, and expert predictions so you can see exactly what might be coming.
iPhone 17 Models Expected in 2025
Based on reliable industry sources, the iPhone 17 lineup could include:
- iPhone 17 – Standard flagship model
- iPhone 17 Pro – Premium upgrade with advanced features
- iPhone 17 Pro Max – Largest and most powerful model
- iPhone 17 Air – New ultra-thin model, possibly replacing the Plus version
The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to measure just 5–6mm thick, making it Apple’s slimmest iPhone ever. This would place it in direct competition with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge’s 5.8mm profile.

- Official Release Date: Friday, September 19, 2025
