In 2025, Apple is expected to discontinue the iPhone "Plus" device in its iPhone 17 lineup to make way for an iPhone "Slim" – although it may not actually be called this when it debuts in the fall of next year. Even though the iPhone 16 series launch is still over two months away, when you consider that we learned about larger displays on the iPhone 16 Pro models way back in May 2023, rumors about a two-generations-away iPhone isn't all that unusual so far ahead of time. iPhone 17 slides: rumors so far
Sub -section
According to information, the new Apple iPhone 17 will feature aluminum chassis "more obvious and thinner" next year rather than a titanium suit, such as Apple \ Apple'pro models. News media also claims that the device will have a narrow dynamic frost, which may be associated with a smaller "metallens" opposite ID system. The device is internally codenamed D23 and its redesign is described as a large iPhone X equivalent.
Smaller display
Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu has revealed the first information about the device's screen size, which he believes will be 6.6 inches. But according to Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) analyst Ross Young, it will have a 6.55-inch screen. In comparison, the iPhone 15 Plus has a 6.7-inch screen. Apple is still said to be testing different designs for the slimmer phone, so the display size could always change between now and the device's launch.
Relocated Cameras
The Information claimed that the iPhone 17 "Slim" will have cameras in locations we haven\'t seen before on an iPhone. According to a May report, the rear cameras could be moved to the "top center" of the device. Some Android phones, such as the Google Pixel 8 Pro, have rear cameras in the top center, while Apple's iPhone camera system has occupied the top left corner since the 2007 model. Ant -Reflex -Soating
According to Chinese Weibo leaks instant digital, all iPhone 17 models will have a more anti -crown reflection view than Apple 15. It is said that the exterior glass in the iPhone 17 series has a "Ultra -high reflective layer" "more scratching". Samsung armor is used in its galaxy S24 Ultra, but the description of the latest technology in Corning is in line with rumors. ProMotion technology
According to The Elec, all iPhone 17 models will feature OLED displays with low-power backplane technology, bringing ProMotion to Apple's non-Pro iPhone models for the first time. ProMotion allows the display to ramp up to a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and video content when required. ProMotion also allows the screen to shrink to a more energy-efficient refresh rate of up to 1Hz, so iPhone 15 Pro screens have an always-on feature that displays the lock screen clock, widgets, notifications and wallpaper even when the device is locked.
Improved selfie camera
According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the entire iPhone 17 series will have a 24-megapixel front camera with a six-element lens. The iPhone 14 and 15 have a 12-megapixel front-facing camera with five plastic lens elements, and this year's iPhone 16 series is expected to have the same hardware. The iPhone 17's upgraded resolution will allow images to retain their quality even when cropped or enlarged, while more pixels will capture finer details. Upgrading to a six-element lens should also improve image quality slightly.
Internal upgrade
Haitong analyst Jeff Pu said that the iPhone 17 "Slim" will be equipped with 8GB of RAM, while the iPhone 15 Plus will be equipped with 6GB of RAM. It's worth noting that all upcoming iPhone 16 models are expected to come with 8GB of RAM - which is the hardware requirement for Apple Intelligence on the device. According to The Information, the device will also be equipped with Apple’s A19 chip. higher price
According to The Information, the thinner iPhone 17 could be more expensive than the Pro Max model, which is currently priced from $1,199, suggesting that the device will be the latest and highest model in the series, surpassing the iPhone 17 Pro Max. If that's the case, then the "iPhone Slim" could become the "iPhone Ultra" that has been rumored for years.
