Apple iPhone 17 Slim to get single rear camera says Kuo
Kuo’s AccordingThe iPhone 17 Slim will have only a single rear camera. If this happens, it will be the first single-camera iPhone in the mainline series after the iPhone 8. Kuo says Apple will focus on a unique form factor design with the iPhone 17 Slim rather than bumping up hardware specifications. Simply put, the focus has been on design and portability in comparison to the standard and pro models.
The rest of the leak largely matches previous rumors. iPhone 17 Slim is expected to have a 6.6-inch display with 1260×2740 resolution. It will have an A19 chip, which is below the A19 Pro in the Pro model. The notch replacement in the iPhone, Dynamic Island, will be taken from the current iPhone. While previous reports suggested that the iPhone 17 Slim will have an aluminum frame.
While earlier reports suggested that the iPhone 17 Slim will have an aluminum frame. However, Kuo says it will actually use titanium with less titanium material than the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max models. Kuo’s leak is quite different in the case of the modem. The 17 Slim is rumored to use a Qualcomm modem, but suggestions are it will have Apple’s own in-house 5G chip. If this happens then it can be seen in other iPhone 17 models also.
Of course, this information may be coming from many sources, but the exact information will be known only at the time of launch. Kuo also shared information about why Apple is discontinuing the iPhone Plus models. At present the share of iPhone Plus in iPhone shipments is only 5 percent to 10 percent, due to which this step is being taken. This step may be difficult for Apple, but it may also prove successful.
