Apple would be clear and would make significant changes to the iPhone lineup in 2025 with the launch of the iPhone 17 Slim with a single camera
Given what was done with the latest iPad Pro with its thinnest design in its history, Apple wants to repeat this feat with an iPhone and apparently it could happen very soon with the iPhone 17. According to a report from Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is reportedly launching an iPhone 17 Slim and one of its main features is said to be the thickness of the device. What’s also interesting is that it won’t be an iPhone as we know it today, starting with It will only have a slow rear camera. What final intention will this new iPhone model have?
The thinnest iPhone in history will be the iPhone 17 and with a single camera
The line should follow what was seen by previous generations. The iPhone 17 simply has a dual camera and triple in the case of the iPhone 17 Pro. What is normal is that. The iPhone 17 Slim’s only lens is a wide-angle one as we have seen in other generations although he does not provide more details about his characteristics. He hopes that everyone keeps 48 MP.
iPhone 17 expected to be first lineup to feature its own 5G chips and become independent in this sense from Qualcomm. The Dynamic Island will remain on the screen and inside we will see the A19 chip. It is planned to integrate a 6.6 inch screen with an approximate screen resolution of 2740 px by 1260 px.
The Plus model will cease to exist to be replaced by the iPhone Slim
An interesting fact about the iPhone 17 Slim chassis indicates that it will contain titanium, although in lesser quantities than the iPhone Pro and Pro Max.. After the disappearance of the iPhone mini with the iPhone 14 Plus, a similar new change is expected when the latter will cease to exist in name to become Slim.
The curious thing is that on paper, The iPhone 17 Slim will be the most expensive in the range with an approximate price of $1,299. Why will Apple make another change to the device name? Apple wants to consolidate models that have historically had poor sales, such as the standard 6.1-inch size and the Pro and Pro Max models.
The iPhone mini was the lowest selling model at the time and the trend was repeated with the Plus model. In this case, Ming-Chi Kuo clarifies that this is not a natural replacement but that those in Cupertino want to “explore new trends in design”.
It’s hard to predict given the launch is still far away. While it’s true that Apple is already rumored to be developing its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone 17 could still undergo substantial changes in both the design idea and its components.
Knowing that this is the fourth model (mini or Plus) of Apple’s recent ranges, Will this change achieve the results Apple expects? We hope to see more rumors about this model and its true intentions in terms of additional features.
