Leaked specs for the rumored ‘ultra-slim’ iPhone 17 paint a disappointing picture

TL;DR


• According to a recent leak, the upcoming iPhone 17 is expected to be significantly slimmer than its predecessors. The report suggests that the device will measure just 6.9mm thick, making it one of the thinnest iPhones in recent years. This slimmer design could potentially come at the cost of battery capacity, but Apple may implement other power-saving measures to maintain decent battery life.

• The leak also reveals that the iPhone 17 will feature a triple-camera setup, similar to the current iPhone 14 Pro models. However, the camera module is said to be more streamlined and better integrated into the overall design, potentially resulting in a more seamless aesthetic. Additionally, the report indicates that the phone will be powered by Apple's next-generation A17 Bionic chip, which is expected to offer significant performance improvements over the current A16 Bionic.

• Regarding the display, the iPhone 17 is rumored to retain the same 6.1-inch OLED panel as the current iPhone 14 models. However, the report suggests that Apple may introduce a new display technology, potentially LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide), which could enable a higher refresh rate and improved power efficiency. This could further contribute to the overall slim and efficient design of the iPhone 17.
