Scheduled for 2025, Apple is poised to introduce the iPhone 17, heralding a resurgence of its signature slim design philosophy. This decision diverges from recent trends favoring thicker devices, prioritizing performance and battery life.
According to a Bloomberg report, Apple is gearing up to launch a considerably thinner iPhone 17 in 2025, signaling a potential shift in the Cupertino-based company’s design philosophy. This move suggests a return to the slim device aesthetics that defined earlier Apple products.
In recent times, Apple has opted for slightly thicker designs to accommodate larger batteries, more powerful processors, and additional ports in its MacBook Pro lineup. Similarly, the Apple Watch introduced a heavier Ultra model boasting extended features and battery life. Even the iPhone saw a slight increase in thickness to accommodate improved cameras and larger batteries.
However, in May, Apple unveiled a new, exceptionally thin iPad Pro, maintaining comparable battery life while enhancing the screen and performance with a powerful M4 chip. This demonstrated Apple’s ability to slim down its devices without compromising crucial features.
The report indicates that Apple is now focused on significantly reducing the thickness of the iPhone 17 for its 2025 debut, with similar intentions for the MacBook Pro and Apple Watch. If accurate, this report suggests that the new iPad Pro represents just the beginning of a series of ultra-thin and lightweight Apple products, aiming to set new standards in the tech industry.
Regarding the iPhone 16 lineup, significant changes are anticipated, including larger displays for the Pro models. The iPhone Pro Max is expected to transition from a 6.7-inch display to a 6.9-inch display, while the smaller iPhone Pro model may feature a 6.3-inch display instead of the current 6.1-inch display on the iPhone 15 Pro.
Furthermore, upgrades to the camera are expected, particularly for the ultra-wide angle lens on the Pro models, which could see a boost from the current 12MP to 48MP.
