An analyst claims that the iPhone 17 Slim will have a fresh design and a 6.6-inch display, as rumors about the thinner model keep circulating. Expected to launch with other iPhone 17 models in late 2025, this slimmer version is still about a year away, but analysts are sharing predictions about its features.
According to Jeff Pu from Haitong International, the iPhone 17 Slim will have a 6.6-inch display, replacing the Plus model. It will be powered by an A19 chip, made with the same 3-nanometer process as the A18 Pro in the iPhone 16 Pro models, and will come with 8GB of memory, though not the 12GB expected for the Pro models.
As for the construction of the slimline model, Pu proposes it will be made of aluminum. This should help an already thin device be much lighter than the titanium Pro models, but Apple will have to be careful to avoid any bend-related issues.
The cameras will consist of a single 48-megapixel rear sensor, Pu expects, while the front will have Face ID support and a 24-megapixel camera.
Pu adds that the model should have a brand-new design versus previous editions.
While Pu is one of the more prolific Apple rumor circulators, accuracy isn’t his strong point, as he has previously been wrong about Apple release timetables. However, his observations this time around seem to be in line with other rumors and commentary about the model.
