Tech enthusiasts have a busy September ahead as three major smartphone brands gear up to unveil new devices within days of each other. Apple has confirmed its fall keynote for September 9, Oppo is expected to launch its F31 series shortly afterward, and Samsung is likely to introduce the Galaxy S25 FE around the same time.
Apple iPhone 17 Series
Apple’s upcoming event, branded “Awe Dropping,” will take place at the Steve Jobs Theatre in Cupertino. The company is anticipated to launch five new iPhone models.
The standard iPhone 17 is expected to feature a slimmer aluminum frame and Apple’s latest A19 Bionic processor. A larger iPhone 17 Plus may also be available, offering similar specifications but on a bigger display.
- iPhone 17: 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, estimated price around $780
- iPhone 17 Air: 8GB or 12GB RAM, storage options 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB, 6.6-inch display, estimated price around $1,200
- iPhone 17 Pro: Black Titanium, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, estimated price around $1,620
The iPhone 17 Pro is rumored to have a titanium body, an upgraded A19 Pro chip, a triple-lens camera system with LiDAR, and storage options up to 2TB. The top-tier iPhone 17 Pro Max could feature the largest screen in the lineup, a periscope zoom camera, and the most powerful battery.
Apple is also reportedly preparing the iPhone 17 Air, an ultra-thin device measuring just 5.5mm. This slim design may require compromises in battery capacity and camera hardware, while the 120Hz ProMotion display is expected to remain exclusive to the Pro models.

Camera specifications may include a 50MP main sensor with optical stabilization, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, an 8MP 3x telephoto lens, and a 12MP front camera.
Battery capacity is expected to be 4,900mAh, with 45W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. Android 16 with One UI 8 is likely pre-installed. Pricing is expected between $720 and $780.
