- Rumors of the iPhone 17 family going all-in on LTPO gain support.
- The iPhone SE 4 could wait until March to debut, with a new, higher price.
Just as Android groupies are looking forward to August’s Pixel 9 event bringing them Google’s latest smartphone lineup, the Apple camp eagerly awaits the iPhone 16’s debut, likely just a few weeks further out. But much as we haven’t been able to avoid the occasional distraction from Pixel 10 rumors, what we’ve been hearing about next year’s iPhone 17 is the stuff that’s really been grabbing our attention. While we’ve still got a long way to go before any of that goes remotely official, our latest source attempts to sort through some of the confusion about what to expect from each of the iPhone 17 models, including a new super-slim design.
Probably the most exciting news we’ve heard about Apple smartphone hardware in a while, this so-called iPhone 17 Slim (or model D23) would be a rare departure from traditional iPhone designs, not unlike what we saw years ago when the iPhone X first arrived. But it also sounds like the price of entry could be prohibitively high, and this data shared by user Yachtsman on a South Korean forum suggests the iPhone 17 Slim could go for $1,300 when it finally launches.
