The device will be powered by the A19 application processor and could be equipped with a screen somewhere between the 6.1-inch standard iPhone display, and the 6.7-inch screen size for the iPhone Pro Max model. And as you can tell by the name of the device (more on that below), the phone will be much slimmer than current iPhone handsets and would still replace the iPhone 17 Plus.
The iPhone Slim will be the product of a major redesign and this new look is being compared to the difference in the appearance of the iPhone X compared to the iPhone 8 line (even though both were released in the same year, 2017). While the iPhone X brought many new features including an edge-to-edge OLED display, Face ID, thinner bezels, and a more modern appearance, it also brought with it a higher $999 price tag taking smartphone pricing into four-digit territory, something that the public has been dealing with since for flagship models. In other words, sticker shock might be a side-effect felt by those pricing the iPhone Slim next year.
While currently named the iPhone Slim in Pu’s note to clients, and in today’s report by The Information, this could be the long-awaited iPhone Ultra model that has been anticipated ever since Apple introduced the Apple Watch Ultra in 2022.
