Given the brand new title, we assumed it will be thinnest member of the iPhone 17 household, although that in itself does not actually really feel prefer it warrants such a giant change.
If, nonetheless, you mix this with the truth that its display screen will probably be smaller than that of each the at present out there iPhone 15 Plus in addition to the upcoming iPhone 16 Plus, then it would begin to make extra sense. Now a often dependable supply, Ross Younger from Show Provide Chain Consultants, has put a exact quantity to the diagonal.
