Apple’s iPhone design has not evolved much in recent years. The company recently made some significant improvements to the cameras and experimented with different body materials, resulting in what they consider a complete redesign. However, it seems that Apple engineers and designers are making significant progress. Based on a recent report, it seems that the company is planning to launch the iPhone 17 Slim next year, featuring a fresh design and form factor.
As per a report by The Information, Apple is working on a sleeker version of the iPhone 17, which will be noticeably thinner compared to the existing models. The company last unveiled a brand new iPhone design in 2017 with the release of the iPhone X. This revolutionary device featured a bezel-less design, Face ID, and numerous other cutting-edge innovations. The iPhone 17 Slim is anticipated to be the epitome of luxury and come with a hefty price tag, setting a new standard for premium smartphones.
If the company is considering a significant redesign, as mentioned in the source, the price may see a substantial increase compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The smartphone will also undergo changes in the camera placement, similar to the design of the rumored Google Pixel 9 with central cameras. However, at this stage these are only preliminary reports, and the company may opt for a different direction.
The iPhone 17 Slim will come with a sleeker Dynamic Island on the front, allowing for more screen space and a cleaner look. The display size will vary between 6.1 and 6.7 inches, potentially taking the place of the iPhone 16 Plus in the lineup.
If Apple truly intends to pursue such plans, it is possible that more reliable rumors regarding this topic could surface in 2025.
