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

[ProbablyDylan]

I wonder if this isn't thinner (front to back), but narrower (left to right), with a taller aspect ratio like the Sony phones.

I DONT WANT SLIM, I WANT A THICK ASS BATTERY

Apple solved it with the vision pro, just have a tethered battery.

Big optics gives better images. Even Apple (actually Sony of course) have to follow the laws of physics (diffraction in this case).

That being said, I would be willing to accept a trade off in image quality for a thinner, lighter phone.

I recently switched to a flip phone for a digital detox, with a 2 megapixel camera and ya know, it wasn’t that bad lol. The pictures have a dreamy lo-fi quality that was kind of charming.

I could easily get by with a smaller sensor 8-12 megapixel camera like what we had on the 6/6s

Women never ask for it to be thinner… or their phones.

It will be made from Gurmantanium.

The new iPhone Slim will be available in a new color called Shady.

Very interested in a thinner iPhone.

the current 15 pro is ok, but thinner would be intriguing.

 

[Jefe's MacAir]

How about same thickness, less camera bump?

The average bench press and curl for women is like half that of men. Imagine doubling the weight of the Pro Max and that’s what it feels like for us to hold it.

Also because it’s tall there’s a lever action which makes it feel even heavier while you’re holding it by the bottom. It’s not the same as just holding it in your palm.

And yet, they can still hold 2 lbs. A little kid can have a Pro Max and won’t complain about how heavy it is…

Just because they don't know any different, doesn't mean the rest of us don't remember the days when you could use a phone one-handed and they weighed next to nothing.

Slim means narrow like Sony phones. I can’t understand why everyone here thinks slim mean thin.

This is reminiscent of when there was a rumor of an "iPhone Math."

That would be the iPhone 6+.

To those who remember, the rumor came from China, I think.

Anyway, the "Math" rumor was an error in translation.

The plus was interpreted as "Math," and away people went.

I can't imagine Apple naming a phone, their Halo product (one of them, anyway), "slim."

If it's just a placeholder name for fan sites, fine, I guess.

Would have been good if screen size had remained the same.

I’ve been reading through this thread with “Dear Slim” and the pencil sound effect in my head.

 

[menist]

Yay, a shrink battery! That's what we need! 😅

If the iPhone is 6.55", then it only make sense for the smaller version by scale to be 5.99".

I would not be surprised if Apple call it 6.5" and 5.9".

 

[chateau20]

We don't need thinner phones, we need smaller phones.
Apple should go back iPhone 4S size, now that was the perfect pocketable portable size.

 

[robgreene]

Apple could just make a phone for adults instead of for children.

Only children post heavily photoshopped selfies on Snapchat 24/7 with the easter egg colored phones.

Make an ultra model with neutral colors and a back that's flush with the camera (the back is so ugly on the current models). Screen size? 7 inches.

7? Why not make it 8?

« while remaining larger than the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro, which are expected to feature 6.1- and 6.3-inch displays, respectively. »


Uhhh what? The iPhone 17 will have a 6.3 display, not 6.1

 

[winxmac]

It's possible that this iPhone Slim is Apple's answer to Samsung Galaxy Flip

 

[williamkey123]

I want the opposite. Give me iPhone fat. Huge battery and no camera bump. Solve the two worst problems with the iPhone in one fantastic product.

This iPhone slim rumor has big iPhone Math energy
