The iPhone 17 Slim leaks and reportedly costs more than the iPhone 17 Pro Max

Apple recently announced its new iPhone 16 series, but leaks about the iPhone 17 series have already surfaced online. Interestingly, Apple is expected to unveil a new model next year that could be called the iPhone 17 Slim. Now, there have been leaks about this smartphone for months, but a new report suggests that it will feature a new type of OLED display. The device is also reportedly more expensive than the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Here’s everything you need to know.

First, let’s talk about the new display type. A report by DigiTimes states that the iPhone 17 Slim will come with a new OLED display technology that will help Apple offer a thin profile. So what is Apple considering offering? Well, the source cited says that the iPhone 17 Slim could use a TDDI OLED panel recently introduced by Novatek. The new technology combines a touch sensor layer and a display driver unit in one, which is expected to reduce the thickness of the smartphone by a few millimeters.

Therefore, the report further states that Apple is likely to partner with Novatek to supply OLED panels. However, there is no official communication regarding this so far, so users are advised to take the details with caution.

Now, as far as pricing is concerned, The Information previously reported that the iPhone 17 Slim will be more expensive than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and one of the reasons behind this could be the slim form factor and new display technology. Additionally, Apple could also consider reducing the size of the Dynamic Island, meaning iPhone users could get a significantly shorter notch on the display.

Additionally, Apple is also recommended to move the rear camera module to the center of the phone, but all this information is based only on leaks and rumors. It is currently unknown whether Apple will also change the display size. It was previously reported that the iPhone 17 Slim would have a smaller screen than the iPhone 15 Plus.

Currently, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is selling at Rs 1,44,900 for the 256GB variant. The 512GB model costs Rs 1,64,900 while the 1TB version costs Rs 1,84,900. With the launch of the iPhone 17 Slim, the company is also expected to discontinue the Plus series. There is currently no official confirmation of this. However, if this turns out to be true, the iPhone 16 Plus could be Apple’s last Plus model.
