Forget designer bags and diamond chains the real status symbol of 2025 might just be the iPhone 17. With Apple’s next big drop expected this September, Hollywood insiders and industry sources say celebs are already preparing to make the slimmest iPhone ever their new go-to flex.
The Hollywood Hype
According to whispers in L.A., celebrities like Drake, Kim Kardashian, and Doja Cat have already made “quiet calls” to Apple contacts, hoping to secure early models. One source joked, “You can’t walk into a VMA afterparty in 2025 without flashing an iPhone 17 it’s like walking in without a stylist.”
What’s Making Celebs Buzz?
It’s not just the brand name. Apple’s iPhone 17 is rumored to come with:
- A 7.2mm slim frame — the thinnest iPhone ever, making it a fashion accessory as much as a phone.
- A 48MP selfie camera, perfect for Instagram Reels, TikToks, and red carpet behind-the-scenes shots.
- AI editing tools that could instantly filter, retouch, and even auto-caption posts — something influencers and celebs live for.
- A fresh Sky Blue finish that insiders predict will be the “celebrity favorite” color of the year.
From Tech to Trend
Celebrity stylists are even hinting at the iPhone 17 being worked into looks. One Hollywood fashion insider stated “It’s not just about having the phone. The celebs will be coordinating cases with fits watch how quick this phone becomes part of the style game.”
The Red Carpet Rollout
With the VMAs, Met Gala, and film festivals lined up after Apple’s September keynote, don’t be surprised if the first public sightings of the iPhone 17 happen in the hands of A-list stars, not tech reviewers. Apple has a history of sliding devices to influencers and high-profile figures to generate buzz, and this time, the entertainment world is ready.
Price Tag Doesn’t Matter in Hollywood
While the base model is expected to start at $799 and the Pro Max may cross $1,299, sources say celebs are “begging for early access” money is not the issue. For stars, the clout of being seen first with the iPhone 17 is priceless.
The iPhone 17 isn’t just another Apple release. In the entertainment world, it’s shaping up to be the must-have accessory of 2025, as important as a Balenciaga bag or a Richard Mille watch. Expect to see it trending on Instagram before it even hits the Apple Store shelves.
