New details continue to emerge regarding the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro models set to be introduced next year. The most notable among the models is the iPhone 17 Slim (or otherwise known as the iPhone 17 Air).

Concept video shared for iPhone 17 Slim

Apple's new model, the iPhone 17 Air, is expected to be the thinnest iPhone in history. The shared video features early prototypes planned for the ultra-thin model. According to this, the 5 mm thick iPhone 17 Slim features a horizontally positioned rear camera unit. Additionally, a smaller Dynamic Island design has been used at the top of the screen.

ULTRA-THIN DESIGN

If the new design is confirmed, it is worth noting that the iPhone 17 Air version will stand out from other models. There were also rumors that this model, referred to as "thin," would be unrivaled in terms of thickness and weight due to a high-density battery. However, it is stated that Apple encountered obstacles in implementing this technology and scaled back its design goals.

It is also rumored that the iPhone 17 Slim could be the most expensive model in the series, but current predictions suggest that while the new model will stand out with its design, it will not be as high-end as the Pro Max model in terms of features. Although this model stands out with its ultra-thin structure, it is expected to offer 8 GB of RAM compared to the 12 GB of RAM in the Pro Max. In terms of the processor, it is expected to be powered by the A19 Pro or A19, which are expected to be used in the Pro Max.

Expected features of the iPhone 17 Slim

There are conflicting rumors about the design and features of the iPhone 17 Air, but most sources agree that it will have an approximately 6.6-inch screen. In addition, it will include advanced features such as both the Dynamic Island and 120Hz ProMotion support. Another important element that will support the thin design of the iPhone 17 Air model could be Apple's new A19 processor.

This processor is being developed with 3nm production technology, which combines high performance and energy efficiency. Furthermore, it is estimated that the selfie camera will be upgraded to 24MP resolution across all models in the iPhone 17 series. It is also likely that the phone will feature an aluminum frame, Face ID, a 48MP rear camera, and Apple Intelligence.

What will the iPhone 17 Slim look like?

The video prepared by Technizo Concept predicts that the iPhone 17 Slim will be only 5 mm thick. The new concept, which is heavily compared to the iPhone 6S, also distinguishes itself from other models with Wi-Fi 8 technology and a horizontally positioned rear camera unit. Additionally, a smaller Dynamic Island design compared to previous models is located at the top of the screen.

It is claimed that the new iPhone 17 Slim will offer a variable refresh rate with its 6.65-inch OLED ProMotion screen. This technology, which goes down to only 1 Hz for static images and up to 120 Hz for animations and games, seems likely to significantly optimize battery life.
