According to the report, Apple may release the iPhone 17 Slim next year, adding to or replacing one of the smartphone models in the company’s lineup. The Cupertino-based company has released four models in its lineup over the past couple of years — the latest phones include the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, the company is reportedly planning to introduce a new “slim” model that could cost more than its most expensive flagship phone.
The Information reports (via GSMArena) that Apple plans to introduce a new iPhone 17 Slim model as part of its 2025 smartphone lineup. The company has yet to announce this year’s iPhone 16 series, which is expected to arrive in the second half of 2024. It is currently unclear whether the alleged iPhone will be replaced by a “Plus” model, which could end up being an analogue of the iPhone 13 Mini, Apple’s smallest phone released in 2021.
Citing unnamed sources, the publication claims that the iPhone 17 Slim will be the most expensive model in the company’s 2025 lineup — which means that its price will be higher than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which was previously considered the top. – linear model. Earlier this month, Apple released the iPad Pro (2024), which received a much thinner body than its predecessor. `
The iPhone 17 Slim is also rumored to feature a redesigned design, with Apple reportedly considering centering the rear camera module and aluminum body for the phone. Apple’s latest iPhone models have retained a similar design since the iPhone X, which was introduced in 2017.
According to a recent report, Apple is working on reducing the size of the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 17 series. It is noted that the iPhone 17 Slim mode will be equipped with a 6.6-inch screen – larger than the iPhone 17 (6.1 inches) and iPhone 17 Pro (6.3 inches), but smaller than the iPhone 17 Pro Max (6.9 inches).
However, these claims should be taken with a grain of salt, as it’s more than a year before Apple is likely to announce the iPhone 17 series as successors to its iPhone 16 lineup, which is expected to debut in the second half of 2024.
