Apple has stuck to a tried and true design philosophy in its recent iPhone generations. The iPhone 15 Pro models brought in premium materials like Titanium, but the overall look remained the same. This trend is expected to continue with future generations as well, but a fresh leak suggests that one of the iPhone 17 models is getting a Slim makeover.

Apple iPhone 17 Slim: Big screen in a sleek body

The news arrives from known analyst Jess Pu (via 9to5Mac), who claimed that the lineup is getting a new family member. Apple is reportedly working on a new iPhone 17 Slim model. This new variant will be replacing the Plus model and taking its place right above the base iPhone 17. Pu claims that the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Sim, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max will feature titanium.

The top end iPhone 17 Pro Max will come with a new “metalens” technology for proximity sensors. This would allow Apple to make Dynamic Island smaller in the next gen device without compromising on Face ID. The iPhone 17 Slim will replace the Plus but still offer a larger display than the base model. However, this taller screen will be packed in a thinner and sleeker body. Pu further added that the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Slim may offer 8GB of RAM and either the A18 or A19 chipset.

On the other hand, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will offer 12GB of RAM and an A19 Pro processor. All four models are expected to offer a 24-megapixel selfie camera as well as an anti-reflective scratch resistance display as well. Keep in mind that this is an unconfirmed report at the moment, so take this news with a pinch of salt.
