According to a source, Apple may introduce the iPhone 17 Slim next year, either as a replacement for or an addition to one of the company’s existing smartphone models. In the last two years, the Cupertino corporation has introduced four new models to its lineup: the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max are the most recent phones. Nevertheless, it has been rumored that the business intends to launch a new “Slim” model, which may come with a price tag higher than its most costly flagship phone.
The iPhone 16 series for this year, which is anticipated to launch in H2 2024, has not yet been announced by the firm. It is presently unknown if the rumored iPhone will take the place of the ‘Plus’ model, which may end up being obsolete in favor of Apple’s smallest phone, the iPhone 13 Mini, which was introduced in 2021.
The iPad Pro (2024), which debuted earlier this month, has a significantly more sleek body than its predecessor. It is also anticipated that Apple will release the much-rumored iPhone 17 Slim with a revised design, which may have an aluminum body and a rear camera module positioned in the middle. Since the 2017 release of the iPhone X, Apple has continued to use a similar design for its most current iPhone models.
A recent revelation claims that Apple is attempting to make the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 17 series smaller. The iPhone 17 Slim mode is rumored to have a 6.6-inch screen, which makes it smaller than the iPhone 17 Pro Max (6.9 inches) but bigger than the iPhone 17 (6.1 inches) and iPhone 17 Pro (6.3 inches).
Though it’s predicted that Apple will reveal the iPhone 17 series—which will be the next generation of the iPhone 16 lineup—at a launch event in the second half of 2024, it’s important to treat these rumors with a grain of salt as there is still more than a year to go.
