'iPhone 17 Slim' Said to Feature 6.55-Inch Display

[MacRumors]

Apple's iPhone 17 Plus or "iPhone 17 Slim" will feature a 6.55-inch display, according to Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) analyst Ross Young.

In a post to subscribers on X (formerly Twitter), Young added to a report first shared yesterday by Haitong International Securities Jeff Pu. Pu claimed that the iPhone 17 Plus, rumored to launch in 2025, could be replaced by an "iPhone 17 Slim."

Pu said that the iPhone 17 Slim will feature a 6.6-inch display, which is a slight reduction on the iPhone 14, 15, and 16 Plus, which feature a 6.69-inch OLED display. Now, Young has clarified that the device will feature a 6.55-inch display. This is a reduction of two percent over the previous, current, and next-generation models.

A smaller display would help differentiate the larger iPhone 17 model from the iPhone 17 Pro Max, while remaining larger than the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro, which are expected to feature 6.1- and 6.3-inch displays, respectively.

I'm fairly sure most of us here are currently OK with how thick iPhones are right now right?

 

[coffeemilktea]

A thinner iPhone with presumably underwhelming battery life? Somewhere, Jony Ive is reading this and breathing heavily. 😳

 

[kenypowa]

and iPhone 16 is outdated 5 months before being released.

 

[usersince86]

Why thinner? I don't hear people complaining about their phone being too thick, they're frustrated the battery dies so quickly...

 

[Apple Mac Daz]

Take it the pluses aren’t selling as Apple hoped

That's my concern. I like the current iPhone thickness with battery life.

 

[ke-iron]

Lmao can we get iPhone 16 first lol

 

[BigJohno]

Really don't mind the thickness of the phone it's self. My biggies issue is the camera bumps. Miss my iPhone 4.

Delayed until 2028. The upcoming article in a few months. Lol

Still 1.5” too many.

Product development takes more than a year to release, so the rumors are leapfrogging one iPhone model half of the time.

They are complaining it’s too heavy.

When the iPhone 14 Pro came out, all we heard was that it was too thick and heavy. It's a problem that Apple created and now roll back as "innovation".

 

[sleeptodream]

Slim as in narrower probably, doubt it will be thinner. I’d like it if it was though personally

 

[klasma]

I guess that’s why they are reducing battery capacity on the 16 Plus, so that the 17 Slim doesn’t look as much of a degradation.

 

[maxfromdenmark]

They are complaining it’s too heavy.

People always complain about everything.

 

[VisceralRealist]

I'm more interested in whether or not the 17 is the generation that finally moves the non-Pro phones to 120 Hz. I know that was predicted in the "timeline", but I want to see a solid rumor about it.

 

[cpnotebook80]

Just like every new year, i forget which year i am in, when i saw this article, i was not sure which model iphone is being released this year..16 or 17 or did apple skip something? i have a 12 and though i missed a year of my life! lol.

 

[Yoms]

So, the iPhone 17 Slim will actually be larger than the iPhone 17, hence the "Slim" moniker, correct?
lmao

 

[iObama]

I would love an aluminum iPhone with USB-C charging only. I miss when my phones didn't hurt my wrists lol.

 

[Apple Mac Daz]

They are complaining it’s too heavy.

Timmy’s answer is you’ve holding it wrong

 

[Smith288]

I DONT WANT SLIM, I WANT A THICK ASS BATTERY

Agree and I also miss the iPhone 4. I wish Apple would set a goal of getting rid of the camera bump without compromising on camera quality. It’s an engineering challenge waiting to be conquered!
