iPhone 17 Slim: Apple is rumoured to be making a big change to its iPhone lineup next year. Instead of the current Plus models, the company is planning to introduce a slimmer version of the devices which will possibly be called the iPhone 17 slim. These new models are expected to feature a sleek, thin design similar to Appleโs latest iPad Pro which are known for being the thinnest tablets the company has ever made.
According to Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known industry analyst the iPhone Plus models arenโt very popular and make up only about 5-10% of iPhone shipments. This low demand is why Apple might be planning to discontinue them.
However, thereโs an interesting twist to this change. According to Kuo, the iPhone 17 slim will have just a single rear camera which is unusual since most smartphones now feature more complex camera systems. Kuo thinks Apple is focusing more on a sleek, innovative design rather than trying to compete with other brands on hardware specs with this model.
Rumored Specs
– Screen: 6.6โ with 1260×2740 resolution
– Processor: A19 chip
– Feature: Dynamic Island, similar to current iPhones
– Frame: Metal made from titanium alloy (lower grade than current Pro models)
Apple’s new devices are also expected to come with the long-awaited 5G chip and a single rear camera.
