Pre-orders for Apple’s new iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max and super-slim iPhone Air are now open.
We are tracking pre-orders on Apple’s official website in the US, and as more and more people pre-order a new iPhone, we’re seeing delivery estimates shifting back. For certain models, you could be waiting up to an additional month before receiving your new device.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max was the first of the new iPhones to see its delivery estimates pushed back from the original September 19 date.
New pre-orders for all storage sizes of the silver and Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max are now expected to arrive with buyers in October, while the Blue hue is now saying the end of September.
The Sage green iPhone 17 and 1TB, silver iPhone 17 Pro were next to get a date shift, with an updated delivery estimate between September 29 and October 6.
These were quickly followed by the 256GB, Cloud White iPhone Air, which also shifted to the late September, early October estimate.
Pre-orders for the new iPhone 17 series and iPhone Air opened at 5am PT (8am PT) on September 12.
While pre-orders opened today, Apple won’t start shipping its new handsets, and stocking them in stores, until Friday 19 September.
It means if you pre-order today, you’ll have at least a week to wait for your new phone to arrive. And if certain models prove particularly popular, we may see delivery estimates slip into the following weeks.
Apple's next cheaper iPhone could get a brand-new processor while keeping its most stubborn display compromise. Digital Chat Station tips the iPhone 18e for a 2027 release with a 2nm A20 chip and a 6.12-inch OLED screen still limited to 60Hz.
The rumored camera setup includes a single 48MP rear camera and a possible 24MP selfie camera. There's new hardware to consider, but buyers hoping Apple would extend that upgrade generosity to smoother scrolling could be disappointed.
Google Photos is introducing a new design for the Collections tab on Android, giving users more control over their albums, folders, and photo categories. The update is all about customization, allowing users to pin collections they access often, hide sections they use rarely, and rearrange the layout to make their photo libraries easier to navigate.
According to a 9To5Google report, the change comes after Google rolled out the redesigned floating navigation bar on Android earlier this year. Rather than inventing a brand new way to store photos, Google is making it easier to get to the content people want, without having to scroll through sections they rarely open.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
