Apple's incoming September 9 event, titled "Awe Dropping", has become the talk of the town, garnering global attention whose biggest chunk is coming for the iPhone 17 series being the centre of attraction.

The iPhone maker is expected to unveil four variants in the iPhone 17 lineup, including the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone 17 Air which is claimed as the slimmest iPhone ever made.

Elevating the frenzy, a recent leak has surfaced online, revealing cases for the all-new iPhone 17 models. The leak has offered iPhone freaks a detailed glimpse at the latest iPhone series' designs.

When is Apple's iPhone 17 launch event?

Apple’s September 9 event will begin at 10am (PT) at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, slated to also introduce stable versions of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26.

A post shared on X (formerly Twitter) disclosed purported iPhone 17 cases from Urban Armor Gear (UAG), a popular accessory brand.

The leaked reportedly confirmed design details for the iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro models, particularly around the rear camera modules.

In light of the rumour under consideration, the standard iPhone 17 might look quite similar to the iPhone 16, its predecessor. However, the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max are expected to feature a rear camera system with slight tweaks.

The most outstanding part of the iPhone 17 cases leak is that the cases also included cutouts for the new Camera Control and Action Button, with the iPhone 17 Air case having a single rear camera in a pill-shaped module, like Google’s Pixel design.
