iPhone 17 “Slim” or “Air”
Apple is working on an all-new version of the iPhone for 2025, and the device will have a “significantly thinner” design than current iPhone models, according to multiple rumors. Early rumors suggested that this would be the successor to the “Plus” iPhone; information believes this will actually be a new high-end device that will be more expensive than the current Pro Max iPhone (which starts at $1,199).
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo disagrees. informationand says that the device won’t replace the Plus, but won’t be more high-end or expensive than the Pro model. As such, we don’t really know what to expect from the new iPhones and will have to wait until additional information is released for clarity. Even if the rumors don’t agree on specs, multiple sources agree that a new iPhone is coming and will be thinner than existing models.
There are rumors that the new iPhone will be called the “iPhone 17 Slim,” but it’s almost certain that Apple won’t use that name. The descriptor “slim” refers to the device’s sleeker, thinner design, which is also referred to as the “iPhone Air.” For the 12.9-inch M4 iPad Pro model, Apple shaved more than a millimeter off the thickness, making it the thinnest device Apple has ever made. 2025 is expected to see a similar focus on sleek design, with the next iPhone said to be much thinner than the current iPhone. There are no details on how thin Apple will make this iPhone, but the iPad Pro is just 5.1 mm thick, which could serve as a blueprint for what’s to come.
The iPhone 17 Slim is expected to sit somewhere between the 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro and the 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Pro. Another rumor suggests that Apple is targeting display sizes of 6.55 inches, 6.6 inches, and 6.65 inches, which could make it smaller than the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
information He said the rear camera could be moved from the top left corner of the iPhone to the top center, with a smaller hole and pill-shaped cutout, allowing for a narrower dynamic island. Kuo says that Dynamic Island will remain the same size as the current Dynamic Island, and that Apple will use a single-lens rear camera on the device rather than a multiple camera setup.
Analyst Jeff Pugh also believes that the device will feature a single-lens rear camera with a resolution of 48 megapixels, and there are no other rumors that agree with the camera placement.
Kuo believes the slimmed-down iPhone 17 will have a titanium and aluminum frame, with Apple opting for titanium, but the aluminum will be a heavier titanium mixture than the current Pro iPhone. The selling point of a new device will probably be its design rather than its internal specifications.
iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro
Apple will sell the iPhone 17 Slim along with the standard iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Apple is said to be removing Plus phones from its 2025 lineup due to poor sales.
Apple may introduce a new display size for the standard iPhone 17 model in 2025. The iPhone 17 could be between 6.1 inches and 6.3 inches, which could be the same size as the iPhone 16 Pro. Rumor has it that Apple plans to discontinue the Plus model in 2025, so there may only be one low-cost device, and the 6.3-inch size is between the current 6.1-inch iPhone 15 and 6.7-inch. It will be the size. iPhone15 plus. In that case, the display size will be 6.3 inches, 6.6 inches (slim model), 6.3 inches (Pro), and 6.9 inches (Pro Max).
