Sure, we don’t know for sure what features the iPhone 16 lineup will boast, but we can look at iPhone 17 rumors, right?
In a research note with investment firm Haitong this week, analyst Jeff Pu said Apple is planning to offer an “iPhone 17 Slim” model that would be a replacement for the Plus model in the lineup. Pu said the “Slim” will boast a close to 6.6-inch display, a slimmer design, an A18 or A19 chip, 8GB of RAM, a 24-megapixel front camera, and a 48-megapixel telephoto camera.
Display industry analyst Ross Young has said the iPhone 17 Slim will have a 6.55-inch display. (The iPhone 15 Plus has a 6.7-inch display.)
Pu expects the iPhone 17 Slim to sport an aluminum chassis, while the Pro models will continue to use a titanium casing. While he expects the Slim to sport some external design changes, he did not go into details.
As always with reports like these, a lot could change between September 2025 and now, so stay tuned.
