Apple is planning a redesigned iPhone 17 that will be thinner than the OLED iPad Pro, according to a report. The MacBook Pro and Apple Watch could also get significantly leaner.
During theLet Loose event in May, Apple announced theOLED iPad Proas its thinnest device ever, measuring 0.2 inches (5.1mm). However, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggests the iPad Pro was just the beginning of Apple’s obsession with thinness.
Gurman reportstheiPhone 17 lineupwill include a new model with an all-new design that is significantly thinner than current iPhone designs. The company is also working on shaving off some of the thickness of the MacBook Pro and the Apple Watch, he writes.
The plan is for the latest iPad Pro to be the beginning of a new class of Apple devices that should be the thinnest and lightest products in their categories across the whole tech industry,” reported the Bloomberg journalist.
Gurman corroborates a May 17report from The Informationwhich also revealed Apple is testing “different designs for the slimmer phone, which could include an aluminum chassis and a smaller hole and pill-shaped cutout for its front-facing camera and sensors.”
The Information claimed that the slim iPhone 17 would be powered by an A19 chip and is expected to be more expensive than the iPhone 15 Pro Max model, which starts at $1199.
