German mobile carriers have apparently spilled the beans on Apple's iPhone 17 announcement date, and if history repeats itself, we now know

According to “internal information from German mobile phone providers” posted by iphone-ticker-de, Apple is reportedly gearing up to unveil the new iPhones at an event on Tuesday, September 9. That would be exactly a year after the iPhone 16 “Glowtime” event, which took place on Monday, September 9, 2024.

After seeing the changes coming with iOS 26, we're ready to finally see Apple's newest collection of smartphones: the iPhone 17 lineup. While that's still more than a month away — assuming Apple sticks to its usual release schedule — we haven't been left completely in the dark about what the new phones will look like.
