iPhone 17: New slimmer ‘Air’ mannequin

It’s been rumored for years that Apple is planning to launch a brand new mannequin with higher-end options above the Professional Max. It appears to be like like it might lastly arrive in 2025. A number of analysts have reported that the present Plus mannequin might be changed by a new “Slim” mannequin with a bigger display dimension and a a lot thinner physique. Analyst Jeff Pu was the first to report this modification, and The Data later reported on the Slim mannequin, stating that it could be a brand new even-higher-end mannequin that sits above “Professional Max” within the lineup and would have a centered rear digicam and a smaller Dynamic Island.

Pu later stated he expects the cellphone to have an A19 chip (not A19 Professional), 8GB of RAM, round a 6.6-inch show, an aluminum physique, and a single 48MP rear digicam.

A extra current video by Jon Prosser surmises that the slim iPhone might be referred to as the iPhone Air (we agree that is smart) and will not be the costliest within the lineup, however relatively be a mid-priced mannequin that prioritizes type and design over specs, very like the MacBook Air. Moreover, a report by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg in August 2024 claimed the brand new mannequin will match between the usual iPhone and the Professional: ” If you need one thing snazzier than a normal iPhone–however don’t really want the efficiency, display dimension, or cameras of a Professional mannequin–you may get one thing that appears a lot cooler whereas nonetheless having the specs of a daily iPhone.”

A current report recommended that Apple gained’t use resin-coated copper elements on the mainboard resulting from high quality points with the provider. This was one of many methods Apple deliberate to cut back inside area necessities, so it’s unclear if it’s going to have an effect on the iPhone 17 slim mannequin’s total thickness or not.

Apple jumped again on the skinny prepare with the launch of the M4 iPad Professional in Could. It’s additionally rumored that Apple will launch a thinner Apple Watch and MacBook Professional over the approaching months.

iPhone 17: Rumored new options

All iPhone 17 fashions have been rumored to function a 24MP front-facing digicam and the always-on show is meant to lastly be out there on the non-Professional fashions. Some consider that ProMotion will come to the non-Professional fashions too, because the similar LPTO expertise that permits the always-on show is what makes ProMotion attainable, in Apple’s iPhone implementation. If true, it could be the primary time Apple has provided ProMotion on a non-Professional system.

Apple can also be stated to be working with Corning on a new anti-glare and scratch-resistant glass for the iPhone 17 lineup.

A report from The Data claims that “a minimum of one” mannequin will function a mechanical aperture, which might be new for iPhones however has been seen in a handful of Android telephones up to now.

We don’t know a lot about what chips will energy the iPhone 17 line, however we anticipate the high-end fashions (Professional and presumably Slim) will get an A19 Professional, whereas the non-Professional fashions will get both some variant of the A18 or a considerably cut-back model of the A19. Since Apple is anticipated to bump each iPhone 16 mannequin to 8GB of RAM as a result of calls for of Apple Intelligence, rumors have recommended Apple will enhance the reminiscence within the iPhone 17 Professional fashions to 12GB.
