Introducing the iPhone Slim: A New Model Set to Replace the iPhone 16 Plus in 2025
Last month, rumors began circulating about a new iPhone model that is expected to take the smartphone world by storm in 2025 – the iPhone Slim. According to Haitong Securities’ Jeff Pu, this upcoming model will feature a sleeker design, a generous 6.6-inch display, and a price tag that could surpass even that of the current iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Recent reports have shed more light on what we can expect from this innovative device. It is rumored to sport an aluminum body, smaller cutouts at the top of the screen for the Dynamic Island feature, and an enhanced front-facing FaceTime camera. Additionally, the rear camera module is said to be relocated from the left corner of the back panel to the top center.
In a recent newsletter, Bloomberg’s chief tech correspondent Mark Gurman shared further insights into Apple’s future product lineup. According to Gurman, Apple’s recent release of incredibly slim iPad Pro tablets marks just the beginning of a trend towards thinner and lighter Apple products across their entire range, including MacBooks, Apple Watches, and iPhones.
Gurman hinted at Apple’s plans to unveil a “significantly skinnier phone” as part of the iPhone 17 series in 2025. This aligns with earlier reports suggesting the arrival of the iPhone Slim in that same year. Apple aims to offer consumers the thinnest and lightest devices in each category they serve.
While thicker devices were once necessary to accommodate larger batteries and advanced features, technological advancements have allowed for slimmer designs without compromising performance. The latest M4 iPad Pro models showcase this evolution with a remarkable reduction in thickness compared to their predecessors.
For example:
– The 13-inch iPad Pro (2024) measures just 5.1mm thick, making it 20% thinner than its 2022 counterpart.
– The same model also weighs only 1.28 pounds, significantly lighter than its predecessor’s weight of 1.5 pounds.
As Apple continues on this path towards thinner and lighter devices, it seems that “thinner and lighter” may well become their mantra in the years to come. Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting developments from Phones Canada!
