The leaker known as “Ice Universe” has shared key details about the overall specifications of the iPhone 17 lineup, shedding light on several important aspects of next year’s devices.
In recent months, reports have been consistent that Apple will discontinue the “Plus” iPhone model in 2025 and introduce a new “Slim” iPhone 17 model as an even more high-end option that will sit above the iPhone 17 Pro Max in the lineup. The latest information from Ice Universe, shared on Weibo yesterday, corroborates this, stating that the alleged screen sizes and pricing will be as follows:
- iPhone 17:6.27-inch LTPO display ($799)
- iPhone 17 Pro:6.27-inch LTPO display ($1,099)
- iPhone 17 Pro Max:6.86-inch LTPO display ($1,199)
- iPhone 17 “Slim”:6.65-inch LTPO display ($1,299)
Notably, all four iPhone 17 models will apparently feature LTPO displays for the first time, allowing for ProMotion to have a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz. To date, ProMotion displays have been exclusive to Apple’s “Pro” devices, so the iPhone 17 may be the first time the technology expands to a lower-cost device.
The iPhone 17 “Slim” is said to be the new flagship iPhone with a price tag of around $1,299, making it the most expensive iPhone model to date. It will reportedly feature a 6.65-inch display, putting it between the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max in size.
The iPhone 17 Pro models will reportedly feature 12GB of storage, a 48-megapixel triple rear camera system, and an A19 Pro chip manufactured using TSMC’s N3P process, while the standard model will feature a separate A19 chip. This is in contrast to the iPhone 16 line, which is expected to feature the same A18 chip across all models.
The post also suggests that the “Slim” iPhone 17 will feature an A19 chip, dual-camera system, aluminum chassis, and 8GB of storage, but it’s unclear if this is accurate. It’s possible this information was simply assumed based on its replacement for the “Plus” model, and it seems potentially odd that the new high-end model would have lower specs than the Pro models. The iPhone 17 lineup is expected to be unveiled in September 2025.
