【苹果iPhone 17系列传闻汇总：九月发布或成定局，超薄机型与系统升级引关注】

据多家科技媒体预测，苹果公司计划于2025年9月9日举行秋季发布会，正式推出iPhone 17系列新品。该系列将包含标准版、Pro版、Pro Max版以及一款全新超薄机型iPhone 17 Air，全系预计预装iOS 26系统。

产品亮点前瞻
1. 设计革新：iPhone 17 Air或采用钛金属框架，机身厚度仅2.49mm，配备6.6英寸屏幕与单后置摄像头，但电池容量可能缩减至2800mAh；Pro系列则可能改用全铝金属机身以减轻重量，并首次采用横贯机背的宽幅相机模组设计。

2. 性能升级：全系搭载A19芯片，部分机型可能首次采用苹果自研调制解调器。Pro系列或将通过新天线设计提升信号强度，基础版本存储空间有望从256GB起步。

3. 配色与配件：标准版提供黑、白、灰、绿、紫、浅蓝六色；Air版主打低饱和度黑、白、浅蓝、浅金；Pro系列则采用黑、白、灰、深蓝、橙等大胆配色。另有传闻称苹果将推出改良版"TechWoven"保护壳，解决此前FineWoven材质易刮损问题。

价格与政策影响
受美国贸易政策波动影响，新机价格存在上调风险。但苹果可能通过提升基础配置（如存储扩容）平衡涨价幅度，预计iPhone 17 Air起售价约为900美元。

系统与生态联动
iOS 26系统将采用"液态玻璃"设计语言，新增AI实时翻译、图像智能搜索、儿童账户敏感内容检测等功能。发布会同期可能推出Apple Watch Series 11、AirPods Pro新品及多款生态硬件，但部分产品或将延至10月专场发布。

目前所有信息仍属行业猜测，最终产品细节需待苹果官方揭晓。

【苹果iPhone 17系列传闻汇总：发布时间、设计革新与价格预测】
据传苹果iPhone 17系列将于9月发布，以下是关于新机型的所有已知信息。

八月已进入下旬，意味着苹果秋季发布会日益临近。按照惯例，苹果将在9月推出新一代iPhone 17系列。新机将预装最新的iOS 26系统，并搭载发布会上公布的所有新功能。在正式亮相前，关于硬件设计的传闻已逐渐流出，以下是基于现有信息的合理推测。

iPhone 17最新传闻
爆料人Majin Bu称，苹果可能随新机推出名为"TechWoven"的保护壳。据MacRumors报道，该保护壳设计与iPhone 17传闻中的宽相机模组相契合，可能是此前因易刮擦而停产的FineWoven保护壳的升级版。据称新款保护壳配备两个挂绳孔，方便用户悬挂携带。目前这仍属传闻，实际设计需待发布会确认，但此次流出的照片可信度较高。

价格预测
苹果计划扩大美国本土制造以规避关税冲击，但受特朗普政府贸易政策波动及亚洲供应链依赖影响，iPhone 17仍可能面临涨价风险。有传闻称基础存储版本将从128GB提升至256GB，可能伴随50美元涨价，但苹果可能将其宣传为"性价比升级"。值得一提的是，2024年苹果曾免费将Mac基础内存从8GB提升至16GB，但当时未受关税影响。

发布时间
多数爆料指出发布会将在9月举行。德国网站iphone-ticker.de称，根据移动运营商信息，iPhone 17发布会可能定于9月9日（周二）。苹果通常提前1-2周发送邀请函，但历年发布会均在9月举行。值得注意的是，iPhone 18系列可能打破传统，于2026年分两批发布：Pro版秋季亮相，标准版延至次年春季。

产品线布局
设计传闻显示苹果正在开发超薄机型"iPhone 17 Air"，对标轻薄笔记本产品线。据彭博社记者马克·古尔曼透露，该机型将搭载基础版A19芯片、单摄像头，并可能采用2月iPhone 16e首发的苹果自研基带。分析师郭明錤指出Air版本将采用钛金属框架（其他机型为铝合金），但亦有传闻称其采用铝钛合金。

电池方面，韩网爆料称iPhone 17 Air电池厚度仅2.49mm（为Pro版一半），容量仅2800mAh，低于当前iPhone 16系列。另有泄露图显示iPhone 17 Pro可能采用全铝机身以减轻重量。关于信号改进，爆料称Pro版将采用全新天线设计，提升无线接收能力。

相机模组将是重大革新点。Pro系列据传将采用横贯机身的"相机岛屿"设计，泄露的真机图已体现这一特征。iPhone 17 Air预计取代Plus机型，保留充电接口，配备6.6英寸屏幕、动态岛和相机控制按钮，传闻售价900美元。

配色方面，Macworld报道称iPhone 17将有黑、白、钢灰、绿、紫、浅蓝六色；Air版提供黑、白、浅蓝、浅金四款低饱和度配色；Pro系列则主打黑、白灰、深蓝、橙等大胆色调。7月流出的机模照片进一步佐证了这些配色方案。

关于iPhone 17e，微博爆料称其将配备动态岛、A19芯片、6.1英寸OLED屏及前置1200万/后置4800万摄像头，但该机型预计最早于2026年2月发布。

iOS 26新特性
新系统将采用颇具争议的"液态玻璃"设计，虽在测试版中减少了透明效果，但仍保持玻璃质感。重大更新包括电话和相册应用重构、AI实时翻译（支持电话/FaceTime/信息）、儿童账户敏感内容检测（发现裸露内容自动冻结视频），以及图像AI搜索功能"Visual Intelligence"。细节改进包括群聊投票功能和可自定义时长的闹钟贪睡时间。iOS 26公测版已发布，支持iPhone 11及以上机型。

同期发布产品
按惯例，苹果将同步推出Apple Watch Series 11、Apple Watch Ultra 3及新款SE手表（均搭载watchOS 26）。可能更新的产品还包括AirPods Pro（2022年后未更新）和AirTags（2021年初代）。近期测试版中出现的产品代码还暗示苹果正在开发新款Apple TV、HomePod mini、Studio显示器和两款iPad，但这些产品可能至2026年才会发布。苹果通常将iPhone作为发布会焦点，其他产品可能延至10月Mac主题发布会亮相。

Apple iPhone 17 launch date is rumored for September: Everything to know about the newest lineup
Here are all the iPhone 17 rumors and leaks leading up to the fall announcement.
With August already two-thirds out the door, it means we're getting closer to the Apple iPhone event, which typically takes place in September. During that event, we'll finally get to put our eyes on the iPhone 17 lineup. The latest iOS 26 features will come preinstalled on the new models, as well as any additional features Apple reveals at the launch event. But since we still have to wait a few weeks (presumably) until the iPhone event, we can at least speculate what the new phones will look like. As with most unreleased iPhone models, rumors and leaks have trickled in about the hardware side ahead of the official introduction. Here's what we're expecting and what we can reasonably assume we'll get from Cupertino in September.
What are the latest iPhone 17 rumors?
Could new "TechWoven" cases be introduced with the latest iPhone 17 lineup? That's what leaker Majin Bu claims, per a MacRumors report. The cases match the rumored design on the iPhone 17 models, with the wide camera bump. MacRumors says this could be a revamped version of the much-maligned FineWoven case, which was discontinued due to being susceptible to scratches and stains.
Here are the new TechWoven Cases for iPhone 17

The leaker noted there are two lanyard holes for "convenient and secure carrying," so it could be worn around your neck.
This is just a rumor and we won't know what the actual iPhone 17 models or accessories will look like until Apple's iPhone event next month. That said, the shared photos (including the one embedded above) are more convincing than usual.
How much will the iPhone 17 cost?
Apple's announced plan to expand US-based manufacturing partners seems to give it at least some shielding from the steepest Trump administration tariffs that have already triggered price increases on everything from Switch consoles to high-end cameras to Sonos speakers. But given that President Trump's trade policies can change from week to week, and Apple's continuing reliance on Asia-based supply chains, price shocks remain an ongoing possibility. The bigger question is: Will Apple absorb any higher costs, or pass them on to consumers?
If prices do creep up, Apple may choose to pair it with an "upgrade." Consider this recent rumor posted by MacRumors from a leaker known as "Instant Digital," suggesting that the default storage of the iPhone 17 line may start at 256GB, doubling the current 128GB baseline. While that could be accompanied by a price increase of $50, Apple could at least pitch it as a "better value." That said, the company doubled the default RAM of its Mac computers from 8GB to 16GB at no extra cost in 2024 — but that was before the current Trump tariff cycle started.
When will the iPhone 17 series be announced?
Most years, the flagship smartphones are introduced in September. MacRumors highlighted a story originally reported by iphone-ticker.de that the Apple iPhone 17 event could be Tuesday, September 9, according to information gleaned from German mobile phone providers.
It's still too early to have the specific dates; some years, Apple only gives a week or two of lead time between sending invites and hosting the event. But years of past precedent show that sometime in September should be when the 17 models make their debut. This family of smartphones may be the last to follow that trend, however. There have been hints that the introduction of the iPhone 18 collection in 2026 will be split into a pro-tier announcement in the fall and a standard model announcement the following spring.
What will the new iPhone 17 lineup include?
Design leaks suggest that Apple is building an ultra-thin smartphone, likely to be named the iPhone 17 Air to match Apple's ultralight laptop designation. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, often a solid source of advanced intel about Apple, reported in January that the iPhone 17 Air will be equipped with a basic A19 chip and will only have a single camera lens. It may also use Apple's new in-house modem, which was introduced in February on the iPhone 16e. More details about this development may leak ahead of September, but that's what we know for now.
An investor note from Apple analyst Jeff Pu indicated that the Air will have a titanium frame. If his reports are accurate, the lightweight smartphone will be the only entry in the iPhone 17 lineup to use that metal; the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected to be made of aluminum, which is oddly a lighter material than titanium. Other speculation had suggested that the Air would use a blend of aluminum and titanium, so the exact materials may not be known until the official announcement.
Additionally, an August 4 MacRumors report says the internal battery pack of the iPhone Air is just 2.49mm thick — half the thickness of the iPhone 17 Pro battery. The leak was posted on the Korean-language Naver blog, where they show the alleged batteries of the iPhone 17 Air and 17 Pro side by side. The same account claimed the 17 Air's battery capacity was a mere 2,800 mAh, MacRumors notes. (That's below the battery capacity of current iPhone 16 models.)
On a similar topic, an iPhone 17 Pro production leak appears to have revealed an all-aluminum chassis, according to MacRumors. Originally posted by leaker Majin Bu, the image shows a shell that has a large round hole on the back (where the Apple logo typically is) to allow for MagSafe charging. MacRumors says this could just be a molding but notes that the aluminum frame (versus the current titanium in Pro iPhone models) would yield a significantly lower weight.
That same leaker (Majin Bu), whom MacRumors classifies as a "hit-or-miss leaker," suggests the iPhone 17 Pro will have better wireless signal strength thanks to an updated antenna design. The individual posted a render on X that shows a new antenna system that wraps around the iPhone 17 Pro's supposedly wider rear camera bump. Again, this is a render, not a real-world photo. That said, we can't knock the goal of better wireless reception, so we're hoping this one has a degree of truth to it.
Each new roster includes a base model, but over the years, Apple has shaken up the variety of phones it offers. Most likely there will be an iPhone 17 and an iPhone 17 Pro. Apple has also committed to the size matters philosophy, and has been building an iPhone Pro Max option with an even bigger screen and better battery life; the 17 roster will almost certainly have one as well.
The new Pro iPhones are said to have a full-width "camera island" on the rear, which would mark the first time an Apple model opted for that design. This feature can be seen in the purported iPhone 17 "spotted in the wild." The pics, highlighted on MacRumors, show a black cased iPhone (17 Pro?) with the distinct back panel. Is it the real deal? The dual angles lend a degree of credibility in a social media landscape increasingly polluted with AI-enhanced fakes, but your guess is as good as ours.

The iPhone 17 Air seems primed to take the place of a potential iPhone 17 Plus. Since the iPhone 16e was only just introduced in February at a surprisingly high price point, it seems unlikely that there will be a new addition to that lower end of the spectrum, the models that were previously called SE.
At the very least, it sounds like the iPhone 17 Air won't take away the charging port and rely only on wireless connectivity. Bloomberg said that while Apple had investigated making the iPhone 17 Air without a single port, the company (fortunately) changed plans. He also says that the rumored phone will have a 6.6-inch screen and include the Dynamic Island and Camera Control button. Finally, the price is rumored at $900 — likely more than the standard iPhone 17 but less than the Pro.
We've also gotten what seems to be a reliable look at what the color lineup will be for the new smartphones. Macworld reported that the iPhone 17 will be available in black, white, steel gray, green, purple and light blue. The iPhone 17 Air will reportedly have four color options: black, white, light blue and light gold. While the Air colors will be less saturated, the visuals for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will go bold. The options for the Pro models are expected to be black, white, gray, dark blue and orange.
On July 30, Tom's Guide highlighted an X post from Sonny Dickson — a longtime and generally reliable leaker of unreleased iPhone information — showing "dummy" iPhone 17 models in the new colors that were the source of the aforementioned Macworld story. While these are literally just mock-ups — not real, leaked iPhones — it's interesting to see how the design and color rumors translate into a real-world look and feel.
To add the the rumors, a Weibo leaker known as Digital Chat Station suggests the iPhone 17e will come equipped with a new design that includes the Dynamic Island, MacRumors reports. According to the post, the new phone will have the A19 chip and could have a 6.1-inch OLED display with a front-facing 12-megapixel camera and a rear-facing 48-megapixel camera. However, it's important to note this report refers to the 17e model that would be expected to launch no earlier than February 2026, if it followed the same release pattern as the iPhone 16e.
What will iOS 26 be like?
Apple upended its numbering conventions with WWDC 2025, and will match the name of each new operating system to the year it's released. So when the next wave of iPhones hits, they'll be running on iOS 26.
On the design side, the smartphone OS introduced during the big developer showcase took a contentious approach dubbed Liquid Glass. Apple has been scaling down the amount of transparency effects in the subsequent beta tests of iOS 26, but it will still have a glass-like visual.
The feature list includes big and small updates. On the more impactful side, the Phone and Photos apps have been redesigned. There will be several features leveraging artificial intelligence, such as live translation capabilities coming to Phone, FaceTime and Messages. Apple is also currently testing a sensitive content warning for child accounts that will freeze FaceTime video if nudity is detected by on-device machine learning tools. And the company is also launching Visual Intelligence, which will use AI to search for elements in an image.
iOS 26 also has a litany of minor, quality of life improvements. Group texts are getting support for polls. And for the slow risers out there, iOS 26 will finally let you escape the tyranny of the nine minute snooze alarm.
The next iOS is now available as a public beta. Here are our initial impressions of the Liquid Glass design and other new features. iOS 26 is compatible with all models back through iPhone 11.
What other products are expected to be released alongside the iPhone 17?
If Apple follows its usual pattern, the iPhone 17 will be announced alongside new Apple Watch products. That would be the Apple Watch Series 11 (if Apple sticks to the same naming scheme), and maybe an Apple Watch Ultra 3 and/or an updated Apple Watch SE. (They'll all run watchOS 26, of course.) Other possibilities — and this is, again, speculation — could include refreshed Apple AirPods Pro (which received its last big update in 2022) and maybe new AirTags trackers (first released in 2021).
The Apple rumor mill got a big shot in the arm this week thanks to the reported inclusion of product ID numbers in recent beta software builds. Per MacRumors, it's a laundry list of new hardware, including long-rumored product updates like the Apple TV, HomePod mini, new Apple Studio Display monitor and two fresh iPads.
Of course, even if that list is totally accurate, we may not see those products until 2026 — if ever. So don't expect all of products to share the stage with the iPhone 17, especially since Apple likes to keep its star performer at the center of attention.
That said, keep in mind that Apple has recently been having Mac-centric announcements in late October (as it did last year to debut new M4 Macs), so there's always the chance of another shoe dropping a few weeks down the road.
