iPhone 17 Slim specs leak claims it will only have one rear camera | Infinium-tech

For quite some time now, Apple has been rumoured to discontinue the iPhone Plus model from next year and replace it with a new model called the iPhone 17 Slim. As the name suggests, it should be record-breaking thin (at least for an iPhone), just like Apple’s latest iPad Pro is the thinnest tablet ever.

Today some more information about the iPhone 17 Slim has been leaked by Ming-Chi Kuo, a longtime industry analyst and promoter of Apple-related rumors. He claims that the iPhone Plus currently makes up only 5% to 10% of iPhone shipments, and that’s why it’s being discontinued.

The iPhone 17 Slim will have a 6.6-inch screen with a 1260×2740 resolution, and an A19 chip (note that the iPhone 17 Pro models will use the A19) Supporter) Its dynamic island area will be similar to that of the current iPhones, and its metal frame will use a titanium alloy that has a lower percentage of titanium than the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The iPhone 17 Slim is also said to feature Apple’s long-awaited in-house 5G chip and a single rear camera. This is a big step forward in terms of mobile trends, but Kuo underlined that Apple will “emphasize innovative form factor design” with the iPhone 17 Slim “rather than competing on hardware specifications”. In other words, looks will be everything with this phone. Style over substance, if you will.

It’s certainly an interesting gamble on Apple’s part, and it might even be a profitable one – after all, it only needs a 15% share of new iPhone sales to be successful, and even then it would be two or three times more successful than the model it’s replacing.
