Apple will be making a more premium iPhone 17 instead.
TheiPhonePlus’s days are numbered, it seems: a new report says that whenAppleintroduces the iPhone 17 range, there won’t be an iPhone 17 Plus. Instead there will be a new,super-slim iPhone 17– but it’ll be at the top of the iPhone range with a price tag to match.
The new report is from respected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who writes onMediumthat the Plus model “currently accounts for only 5-10% of total new iPhone shipments.” Those numbers are too small for Apple, so the Plus is headed for the dumpster.
The new ultra-slim iPhone 17 isn’t a direct replacement for the Plus, although it will be similarly sized. Instead, Kuo says, “Apple is exploring new design trends beyond the existing iPhone lineup”.
Super-slim iPhone 17: key features
Previous reports have suggested that while the new iPhone 17 won’t have the most impressive specification of the iPhone 17 range, it will have the highest price: reports suggest that we can expect it to cost $100/£100 more than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, making this new iPhonethe most expensive iPhonethat Apple has ever made.
