iPhone 17 release date, iOS 26 features and everything else to know about Apple's upcoming lineup

Here is a 194-word summary of the key points in the article: The upcoming iPhone 17 lineup is expected to be announced in mid-September, along with the release of iOS 26. Rumors suggest the iPhone 17 models will feature a new "TechWoven" case design with lanyard holes, and come in a variety of color options. The base iPhone 17 is rumored to start at 256GB of storage, potentially at a higher price. An ultra-thin "iPhone 17 Air" model is also expected, with a titanium frame, single camera, and lower battery capacity compared to the flagship Pro models. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to have an all-aluminum chassis, with a wider camera bump and improved wireless connectivity. iOS 26 will bring a refined "Liquid Glass" visual design, along with new AI-powered features for the Phone, Photos, and Messages apps. Alongside the iPhone 17, Apple is expected to unveil the Apple Watch Series 11, as well as potential updates to AirPods Pro and other products. The full lineup of new devices may not all be announced at the same event, as Apple sometimes holds additional product launches later in the year.
