Apple is reportedly developing an iPhone 17 Slim for 2025. This new proposal in the range would bet on a brand new design. Thinner, with a reduced Dynamic Island and a remote photo block, it would be even more expensive than the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

While the iPhone 16 series shouldn't hold any big surprises for us next fall, Apple would be preparing a change in its strategy for the 2024 iPhone 17. According to the renowned media The Information, a brand new premium model would be in the cards. It would be an iPhone 17 Slim, which would sign the biggest design evolution of Apple's smartphone since the iPhone X and its famous notch.

Why Slim? Because this mobile would be "significantly thinner" than other iPhones. This may remind us of what Apple offers with the iPad Air and MacBook Air, although the lines at this level become blurred with the iPad Pro M4 which is thinner than the iPad Air. The report does not specify what consequences this design will have on the battery capacity. We know that the iPhone 16 Pro Max must carry a battery with more energy density cells. Apple may be be betting on this technology so that the autonomy does not suffer too much on this device.

FINGER, MORE COMPACT THAN THE MORE AND MAX, WITH A NEW PHOTO BLOCK
The chassis of this iPhone 17 Slim would be made of aluminum, not titanium. It would adopt an intermediate size between the standard and Pro models, probably between 6.5 and 6.6 inches. On the back, the iPhone's highly recognizable photo block for several generations would be completely reworked. It would no longer be located at the top left, but at the top center of the smartphone. We can then either think of a horizontal arrangement of the sensors as on the Pixel, or else of a circular photo block as do Chinese brands like Oppo or Xiaomi.

The size of the Dynamic Island would be reduced on this model, which would also incorporate a better front camera. Not, the source announces the presence of an A19 chip. Finally, a price higher than the 1,199 USD that an iPhone 15 Pro Max 256 GB costs in the United States is mentioned. It would therefore be the most expensive model in the series, unless the price of the Pro Max increases by then (knowing that the price of iPhones tends to remain stable across the Atlantic, unlike here). As a reminder, the iPhone 15 Pro Max 256 GB is sold at 1 479 euros in France.

Design revolution, salty price, here is the future iPhone 17 Slim from Apple
