A recent report has revealed the specifications of the upcoming Apple phone, the iPhone 17 Slim, expected to arrive next year with a six-inch screen and eight gigabytes of RAM.
Financial analyst Jeff Po explained in a memo sent to investors that the new phone will replace the iPhone 17 Plus version, featuring a completely new processor developed by Apple under the name A19, reflecting the expected outstanding performance for Apple phone users, according to 9to5Mac.
Po also mentioned that the iPhone 17 Slim will be equipped with a 24-megapixel selfie camera and a 48-megapixel rear camera. The phone will have an aluminum body and will feature FaceID technology for identity authentication.
The financial analyst stated that this release will be the first of its kind in the Apple phone family, but did not specify whether this change will include the screen size, pricing, or any other factors. Additionally, The Information website reported in May that the new version may come with a higher price compared to the iPhone Pro Max version.
The report also highlights that the iPhone 17 Slim will maintain the previous design with a narrower space for the Dynamic Island area, utilizing metalens technology to reduce the size of the depth sensor and shrinking the size of the Face ID sensor.
Jeff Po confirmed that both the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Slim will come with the A19 processor and eight gigabytes of RAM, while the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max versions will feature the A19 Pro processor with twelve gigabytes of RAM.
At the beginning of October, tech blogger Majin Bo mentioned on the “X” platform that Apple plans to introduce a new version called the iPhone 17 Air, expected to arrive for the first time next year. Bo explained that the company is testing a new button that may replace the volume control buttons and the Actions Button shortcuts.
This new button is expected to be highly customizable, allowing users to adjust its functions to suit their needs, such as controlling volume and easily switching personal files for notifications and alerts through various interactions like touch, swipe, or press.
