<\/p>\nUpdated Aug. 4 with further details of what\u2019s predicted for this September with further analysis.<\/p>\n
Apple\u2019s next iPhones will be unveiled next month, that is, September 2025. But exactly when? A new report adds an extra couple of possibilities to the mix.<\/p>\n

In a new post for Cnet<\/a>, Tiffany Connors writes about the possible variations. I\u2019ve previously written<\/a> that I am sure that the Apple keynote that reveals the phones will be on Tuesday, Sept. 9, though one day either side is also likely.<\/p>\n ForbesApple iPhone 17 Pro: Eye-Catching New Look Revealed In Latest LeakBy David Phelan<\/a><\/p>\n The new report also homes in on the week before, saying that Wednesday, Sept. 3 is also likely.<\/p>\n \u201cHistorically, Apple has made the announcement on the first Tuesday of September after Labor Day, according to CNET Senior Editor Patrick Holland<\/a>, who’s reviewed mobile phones for a decade. However, the first Tuesday in 2025 is the day after Labor Day, so Apple could push the dates for its iPhone event to Wednesday, Sept. 3, or Tuesday, Sept. 9. That would mean a release date of Sept. 12 or 19, Holland said,\u201d Cnet claims.<\/p>\n This is interesting because it\u2019s one of the first reports that suggests Sept. 3 as the keynote date. I absolutely agree that if the release is in the first week of September, then it certainly won\u2019t be on the Tuesday, because of Labor Day.<\/p>\n However, lovely though it would be to see the new phones earlier rather than later, I believe Apple will avoid this week.<\/p>\n Not least, the large-scale consumer electronics show, IFA, is happening that week in Berlin. This is a big event, on the same scale as or bigger than the annual CES in Las Vegas. Apple will not want to shout above the noise of so much happening in the same week.<\/p>\n Which leaves Sept. 9 in the frame again.<\/p>\n But Cnet raises something else: in previous years, Apple has staggered the release dates of its products, even though the unveiling has happened on the same day.<\/p>\n The iPhone XR arrived several weeks after the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max in 2018, and the iPhone 12 mini landed almost a month after the iPhone 12 in 2020.<\/p>\n Since at least one of the phones, the iPhone 17 Air, is a completely new design, could it be a later arrival than the others? There have been no reports of this yet, and it\u2019s worth noting that at least three of the four phones are expected to have completely new designs this year. Even so, at this point, it can\u2019t be ruled out.<\/p>\n
