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.

Just when it seemed clear exactly what was coming when for the new iPhones, a new part of the puzzle has become apparent.

Apple usually sends out invites in late August, but history and habit suggest this year’s iPhone event will fall on September 9.
