The first rumors about the iPhone 17 series emerge

Although the release of the iPhone 17 series is only scheduled for the second half of 2025, the first rumors about these new models are already circulating. It is notable that the Plus model would be replaced by a Slim model.

In the news : Apple has big changes in the works for the iPhone 17 series. These models won’t be announced until September 2025, but a report from analyst Jeff Pu of Haitong International Securities – via 9to5mac – already reveals the first rumors.

iPhone 17 Slim

According to Pu, Apple will not release iPhone 17 Plus in 2025. The company will replace this model with the new iPhone 17 Slim. This will be added to the iPhone 17, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. It would be a device with a “clean design”.

• The Plus model of the iPhone has long been a concern for Apple. The device is generally not much cheaper than the Pro models, while being of significantly lower quality. This is why the iPhone Plus often sells less well than other versions. To put an end to this less favorable reputation, the Plus will disappear from the range.

Aluminum, Dynamic Island, best camera

Apple also appears to be planning to change the material used for the iPhone 17’s body again. According to Pu, the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Slim, and iPhone 17 Pro would all have an aluminum design. The iPhone 17 Pro Max, meanwhile, would continue to be made of titanium.

• This 17 Pro Max, also the most expensive model, will benefit from a smaller ‘Dynamic Island’ thanks to the new technology. The other models will retain the old design of this one.
• The 17 Pro and Pro Max will also directly have more RAM memory with 12 GB.

Finally, all four iPhone 17 models will be equipped with a 24 MP camera. This is a marked improvement over the 12 MP cameras that Apple currently uses on its most recent iPhones.
