- Apple reportedly wants the iPhone 17 to be significantly thinner.
- The company is also working on making the MacBook Pro and Apple Watch thinner.
- The plan is to make these devices the thinnest and lightest in their categories across the industry.
When Apple launched the new thinner iPad Pro in May, it harkened back to the days when Apple was focused on making its devices as thin as possible. It seems that mentality is making a comeback as the company plans to also shrink the iPhone, MacBook Pro, and Apple Watch.
While Apple’s update to the iPad Pro makes the tablet thinner, it also manages to maintain the same battery life as older models and fits in an M4 chip to make it as powerful as a desktop. In short, Apple found a way to cut the size of the tablet down without having to make any sacrifices. According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple believes it can do the same with its other products.
