Apple’s ‘iPhone 17’ unveiling set for September 9th, according to carrier documents

Basically everyone with even a passing interest had already pegged Tuesday, September 9th as the most likely date for the iPhone 17 event. Now, a new report says that internal documents held by carriers confirms this. That would mean pre-orders start on September 12th, with the next-gen iPhone shipping on September 19th.

Mobile carriers need to make their own preparations for the launch and sale. German site iPhone-Ticker says it got sight of internal documents from at least one local carrier, giving the launch date as September 9.
According to internal information from German mobile phone providers, this year’s launch will be on Tuesday, the 9th September. This would take place the next big Apple event in exactly 35 days.
There’s a completely consistent pattern in what happens after the keynote. Pre-orders open on the Friday of the same week, and ship on the following Friday. This would mean the following schedule:
• iPhone 17 keynote: Tue 9 September
• Pre-orders open: Fri 12 September
• First orders ship and retail sale begins: Fri 19 September

MacDailyNews Take: Expect Apple CEO Tim Cook to bravely order the pressing of the “Play” on the company’s latest canned video on Tuesday, September 9th.
