'iPhone 17 Slim' Said to Feature 6.55-Inch Display

Apple's iPhone 17 Plus or "‌iPhone 17‌ Slim" will feature a 6.55-inch display, according to Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) analyst Ross Young.

In a post to subscribers on X (formerly Twitter), Young added to a report first shared yesterday by Haitong International Securities Jeff Pu. Pu claimed that the ‌iPhone 17‌ Plus, rumored to launch in 2025, could be replaced by an "iPhone 17 Slim."

Pu said that the ‌iPhone 17‌ Slim will feature a 6.6-inch display, which is a slight reduction on the iPhone 14, 15, and 16 Plus, which feature a 6.69-inch OLED display. Now, Young has clarified that the device will feature a 6.55-inch display. This is a reduction of two percent over the previous, current, and next-generation models.

A smaller display would help differentiate the larger ‌iPhone 17‌ model from the iPhone 17 Pro Max, while remaining larger than the ‌iPhone 17‌ and ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌, which are expected to feature 6.1- and 6.3-inch displays, respectively.

A thinner iPhone with presumably underwhelming battery life? Somewhere, Jony Ive is reading this and breathing heavily. 😳

Slim? Sounds like a ploy to cut battery life from the Plus models...
Just ditch the plus models and bring the minis back

Really don't mind the thickness of the phone it's self. My biggies issue is the camera bumps. Miss my iPhone 4.

I don't need SLIM.
I need MINI.

EDIT: It's funny when someone disagrees with what I need. Do you know me? Are you living my life?
Maybe after a car accident I lost one hand and have limited functionality in the other one? So maybe I am not ABLE to hold a bigger phone? Did you think about that?
