The rumored iPhone "Slim" model is expected to replace the iPhone 17 Plus, featuring a thinner design and potentially a higher price than the iPhone 17 Pro Max. It may come with a 6.6-inch or 6.55-inch display, an aluminum chassis, and an A19 chipset. The iPhone "Slim" is anticipated to be part of the iPhone 17 lineup, set to launch in 2025.
The iPhone 17 and 17 Plus are expected to feature larger screens, measuring 6.27 inches and 6.86 inches respectively. These devices will replace the Low-Temperature PolySilicon (LTPS) display with a low-temperature Polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) screen, enabling a 120Hz refresh rate and always-on display capabilities1. The aspect ratio will also change slightly to 19.6:9.
Apple's annual iPhone event typically takes place in September, often around the second week of the month. The company sends out invitations to the event approximately two weeks before the date. In recent years, Apple has held the event on a Tuesday or Wednesday.
