iPhone 17 Plus Rumored to Feature Smaller Screen Than iPhone 15 Plus

[sleep/to/dream]

My ideal combination was be an iPhone 5 with an iPad mini back in the day.

With only phablets available and the current iPad mini having thicker bezels than the original iPad mini, I would rather have a 7.5-inch iPhone to avoid having two devices.

have you held a regular 15? to me it feels pretty small in the hand, way smaller than an XR/11, and even *feels* smaller than 12/13/14 despite being about the same size. definitely doesn’t feel like a phablet

but yeah, my 15 plus has pretty much replaced my iPad mini, it feels unnecessary at this point. i have a larger galaxy tab for writing and drawing, but the iPhone is fine for reading or movies on a flight, which was mostly what i used the mini for

Yeah, it is silly to even have the iPad mini at this point.

If they allowed iPads (and Macs) to operate as real cellular phones, many people wouidn't need a separate iPhone.

iPhone 17 Plus Mini

View attachment 2369337I trust this rumor (translated from Chinese).

This seems more likely, but perhaps slightly off . The plus gets a ‘hand me down ‘ screen and the “#smaller size” is relatively to the new iPhone Pro Max size. The plus gets LTPO screen but stays at 6.69 . Apple just stays with current tech even longer same with the non pro plain version .

Bring on the iPhone 17 Ultra mini 😁

Yeahy!!! 🤭

If only we could not just stop using this word but also stop using the devices ppl call by such poor name. But it seems like now we already live in “phabletverse”. And it happened simply because Apple copied Samsung’s large phones craze

Please don’t ignore that they did what the majority wants (bigger screens).

So they are gana make the smaller iPhone bigger and the bigger iPhone smaller. Everyone looses

It’s not until April, the year of, that I take iPhone rumors seriously

 

[bousozoku]

iPhone 18 is gonna be great. Bigger screen, bigger battery...

What about the iPhone 19 and iPhone 20? I want to know about them already. 😁

Apple will have plenty of time to try things before any of these rumors come true.

The iPhone 27 is rumoured to have a glass screen!

With deeper grooves at level seven!

Shrinkflation hits the iPhone!

That story drops at midnight EST.

Something something “green…sustainability”

I'm more interested in whether the non-Pro models will finally get ProMotion with the 17.

Maybe by iPhone 20 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[dampfnudel]

As long the 17 Plus gets 120Hz, a slight screen reduction is not bad. The 17 and 17 Plus are still getting ProMotion…right?

Bruh.. as mentioned before, Apple would rather choose to go bankrupt than offer ProMotion feature to non-Pro models. We should be ashamed of ourselves for asking Apple that feature in non-Pro iPhones and iPads.

If this means the regular iPhone might drop from 6.1” to 5.9” or 5.8”, then great! Especially if they continue to shrink the bezels. The smaller the phone, the better for my wife, who is holding onto her iPhone 13 Mini for as long as possible.

I’m glad the regular Pro is moving up from 6.1” to 6.3”. I mainly got the 15 Pro Max for the 5X telephoto, which I use a lot, but 6.7” is too big. The 6.1” Pro was a touch small so this should be just right. Dont want to use 6.9”. I know it’s rumored to have a 10x telephoto but I doubt it’s worth it because 10x is so limiting if that’s my only telephoto option. If it’s a fourth camera on the back, or if they do a 48mp sensor on the telephoto on the Max only to do 5x/10x, then it might be worth it.

So much courage I don't even know how it can be contained.

These guys crack me up. Making predictions Over a 50/50 call! Nice way to earn a living.

Does the iPhone 15 Plus still feel like a large phone?

 

[jjohnstonjr]

As someone who recently picked up 15 Pro Max after heavily weighing the S24 Ultra from Samsung I feel like Apple has hit a wall. Having the same phone since the iPhone 12 Pro Max, I’ve gotten to the point where I’m failing to see the innovation in Apple’s iPhones at this point. I’m sure I can’t be the only and I’m sure I’m going get a few thumbs downs but hey the truth is the truth.

Are we seriously discussing if an iPhone 15 Plus is considered a large phone? 🤭
Edit: ah, yes. It seems iPhone 15 is already considered a small phone.

 

[MayaUser]

it will have the old Pro Max 6.5"
Apple will not do another display size and spend a lot of money

 

[KeithBN]

Geebus, the 15 has only been out like what, 7 months? And we’re already obsessing about the 17? 🙄

I know, it’s ridiculous that a site called MacRumors would fill its pages with rumors!!!
What IS the world coming to?

 

[The-Real-Deal82]

Surely that will put people who want the bigger screen version off a bit?? What advantage does this offer when they can already get a smaller screen option??
