Last May, Apple indicated its desire to offer new, thinner models of its devices with the new iPad Pro, considered its thinnest tablet yet. This is nothing new for the Apple brand: a few years ago, the firm made a point of offering the thinnest and lightest hardware possible.

The latest iPad Pro was thus a taste of what awaits most of Apple’s products to come: a thinner model, but not necessarily less powerful or autonomous. The smaller M4 chip allows Apple to offer the iPad Pro a battery just as large as in the past and while managing to reduce its size without compromising on its performance. Similar technology will thus be used by the Cupertino company for its iPhone, MacBook Pro and Apple Watch in the medium term.
We’ll have to wait for the iPhone 17
At the end of 2023, the famous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo was the first to make a similar prediction: he then announced that Apple would use chip thinning technology for the iPhone 17.

So here is Mark Gurman making his contribution: according to his sources, the Apple brand is therefore preparing an iPhone.considerably thinner“by 2025, therefore for the release of the iPhone 17. Apple aims to use a similar strategy for other categories of devices (watches, computers), in order to make them the lightest and thinnest of the ‘industry.
