As anticipation builds for the arrival of the iPhone 17 Air model, many questions linger about its specifications and features. Speculation about the device's name and its place within Apple's lineup continues to run rampant, with some speculating it could even surpass the price of the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Surprisingly, rumors suggest that the specs of the iPhone 17 Slim do not align with the expectation of it being the priciest option in the series.
For instance, while the iPhone 17 Pro models are expected to boast 12GB of RAM, the Slim variant is rumored to feature 8GB. Even so, this amount should be sufficient for a device this thin to perform remarkably well. Additionally, earlier reports indicated that the iPhone 17 Slim would be equipped with the less powerful A19 application processor; however, this new concept presents it instead with the high-performance A19 Pro AP found in its Pro counterparts. It's important to note that this concept design is based on previously leaked information.
This latest concept, brought to life by Technizo Concept, showcases a stunning iPhone 17 Slim that measures just 5mm in thickness. It also includes cutting-edge Wi-Fi 8 technology and features a uniquely positioned rear camera bar. Early impressions suggest that the device may introduce a sleeker Dynamic Island cutout located at the top of the screen.
Furthermore, the concept design portrays a 6.65-inch OLED ProMotion display capable of varying refresh rates to optimize battery efficiency. It can refresh at a minimal rate of one hertz for static displays—ideal for emails and texts—and can ramp up to 120 hertz for dynamic activities such as gaming and animations.
As the iPhone 17 lineup, including the Slim model, gears up for an anticipated unveiling in September next year, tech enthusiasts are eager to see which rumors become reality and how Apple will shape the future of smartphones.
