Rumours hint at a major redesign for ‘iPhone 17 Slim’ in 2025

Apple is rumoured to be redesigning the iPhone for a 2025 release with the 'iPhone 17 Slim', featuring advanced technology and a sleek new look.

Apple is reportedly planning a significant redesign for its iPhone lineup, potentially launching the “iPhone 17 Slim” in 2025. This new model is expected to feature a sleeker design and may carry a price tag even higher than the current top-tier iPhone Pro Max.

Design innovations are on the horizon

According to The Information, the iPhone 17 Slim could debut as part of the iPhone 17 series refresh. Speculations suggest that it will have a 6.6-inch display, positioning it between the smaller 6.1-inch model and the larger 6.9-inch iPhone 17 Pro Max. However, analyst Ross Young hints at a slightly smaller 6.55-inch screen.

The new model might also showcase a smaller Dynamic Island, following a possible size increase and the addition of a new side button in the iPhone 16 lineup expected later this year. Details are still being finalised, but potential features for the high-end model could include an aluminium frame, minimised front camera cutouts, and a central rear camera placement.

Potential technical enhancements

There’s also buzz about technical improvements, such as an energy density upgrade in the battery—a change analyst Ming-Chi Kuo rumoured for the iPhone 16 Pro Max. If successful, this new battery design, possibly housed in a stainless steel case, might be used across all models by 2025.

This follows Apple’s recent release of a slim iPad Pro, which has performed well in durability tests. Apple enthusiasts are hopeful that the iPhone 17 Slim will offer similar resilience, proving robust enough for everyday wear and tear in pockets and purses.

As with all rumours, details about the iPhone 17 Slim are subject to change as the development process continues. Apple fans and tech enthusiasts will eagerly await more definitive news as the proposed 2025 release date approaches.
