'iPhone 17 Slim' With Smaller Display Rumored to Launch Next Year

I actually REALLY dig this. I’ve wanted this for a long time. The main reason I have never purchased a plus or max model is the thickness & weight. If there was an “air” version of a large screen phone, I might actually cave and purchase one.

Bring back the SE2 but powerful my old man would love it.

I'm typing on an SE2 right now :D. I wouldn't complain on the raw performance but I would enjoy more screen-estate with either the notch or dynamic island, I like them both. If they would use titanium, really good OLED tech and an amazing battery I would be set for life 🤩

What you're describing...is that not just a 15 Pro? I guess the SE-line is a bit smaller, but still

Are we sure this isn't the iPhone SE (Slim Edition) and not the iPhone 17?

That’s what I was thinking. Maybe some confusion between this 17 “Slim” and the next generation SE. Maybe Apple will even drop the SE at some point and just leave base iPhones from the previous two to three years as the lower priced options.
 
The LAST thing I want is a thinner phone.

Make it THICKER! MORE BATTERY! SWAPPABLE BATTERY!

It can be twice as thick as today's phones, and twice as heavy. BIG screen, SMALL camera, no camera bulge.

LCD screen is fine, don't need or care about OLED.

Strange. So this is aimed at people who want a bigger phone than the base model and the non-Max Pro, but prioritize low weight over anything else? Are there that many people who want that?

Almost sounds to me like they're struggling with their "fourth option". Polls on this site reveal the Plus is the least popular phone of the four models, just as the Mini was. People want the base model, it's the cheapest and gets you in the door of the new technology, and they want the Pros. But they tried "smaller base model" and it didn't sell well. Then they tried "larger base model". Now they're trying "slimmer base model". Maybe this time they'll strike gold?

I had the 14 plus and it was the second lightest phone in the lineup that year. Most didn’t realize it was lighter than the pro. I don’t need a better camera, but would love something between a mini and a standard.

Who is asking for this? Based on reading these forums, the only new phone people are asking for is a flagship mini or at least a mini with matching battery life.

Exactly. “Small” but vocal group wants smaller iPhones. No one has asked for big but thinner iPhone.

This article makes zero sense - it's called "Slim" but it's merely a fraction of an inch smaller than the current iPhone 15 Plus? What?

We know Apple frequents these forums: I would KILL for the mini to make a comeback. The greatest iPhone in years. All of the power of the latest full-size non-pro iPhone in a small package? PLEASE.

I mean really - is it so damn hard to do? Give us some damn choices for those of us who don't want big phones.

I just don’t get it. I am also waiting for new mini announcement. So many dudes here wants iPhone mini. How the hell, mini had so low market share? We need mini back! If I would like huge screen, I would buy an iPad!

Wonder whether this will be its name. Anyway looks like the non pro Plus model will be having a change next year.
 
If they can retain the same battery life then it's worth a try, at least better than the plus model
