Apple’s iPhone 17 launches on Sept 9 with major design, display, and AI upgrades. Here’s why it’s worth waiting instead of buying an iPhone 16 now.
If you’re thinking about buying a new iPhone, especially the iPhone 16 series, now might be the worst possible time to hit that buy button. Not because the iPhone 16 is bad, it’s actually quite good, but because the iPhone 17 is coming. And what we’ve seen and heard so far suggests it’s shaping up to be a far more significant upgrade than we’ve seen in years. Here’s why it’s smart to wait just a week more.iPhone 17 Series Is Just Over a Week Away
Apple has already confirmed a September 9 event. That’s when the iPhone 17 lineup, including the much-hyped iPhone 17 Air, is expected to debut. Based on years of precedent, pre-orders will likely open that same week, with units shipping shortly after.
What this means is simple: the iPhone 16 will become yesterday’s news in less than a month. Even if you’re not interested in the newest models, waiting a little longer could get you a better deal on the current ones. Apple and carriers typically slash prices or roll out trade-in incentives as soon as the new models are announced.iPhone 17 May Be the Biggest Design Shift Since iPhone X
Apple doesn’t redesign its phones often, but when it does, it matters. This year, it’s not just tweaking the edges or repositioning the camera bump; it’s going thinner.
