If Apple sticks to its traditional launch schedule, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is likely to be unveiled in the second week of September this year, possibly at around September (dated between 10 or 11), followed by pre-orders which will begin from the same week. The phone should go on sale worldwide, including in India, by the third or fourth week of September 2025.
This launch schedule is consistent with past iPhone releases, where Apple holds a launch event in early September from its headquarters, and rolls out for sales within 10 days.
