Apple’s rumoured iPhone 17 redesign sounds a bit of complicated

Alas, poor iPhone mini. The diminutive machine was unceremoniously axed from the Apple line up final 12 months, leaving small cellphone followers with nowhere to show (first world issues, and so forth). Certainly, Apple retains going larger, changing the mini with the enormous iPhone Plus – however that one hasn’t offered nice both. 

Rumours have begun circulating that the corporate is planning to launch a brand new ‘Slim’ version of the iPhone 17 in 2025, reigniting hopes {that a} smaller type issue might be making a return. However based mostly on the restricted particulars we have now up to now, it feels like this one may sit someplace between the mini and the Plus. (Questioning what to anticipate from this 12 months’s launch? Check out our iPhone 16 roundup.)

As noticed by MacRumors, revered Apple analyst Jeff Pu claims a so-called iPhone 17 Slim will exchange the Plus mannequin, a 6.6-inch show (versus the iPhone 15 Plus’s 6.7-inch show) and an aluminium physique, in contrast to the Professional fashions’ titanium chassis. 

So, the iPhone 17 ‘Slim’ shall be virtually as massive because the Plus in a thinner physique, and sure will not be a premium mannequin. In different phrases, it is exhausting to see precisely the place this can sit within the line up. After all, we do not understand how massive the usual iPhone 17 goes to be, but when it stays on the present 6.12-inches, then the ‘Slim goes to larger… however thinner. Which sounds prefer it presents a complicated alternative.
