iPhone 16 vary was launched in September, however particulars about Apple’s next-generation smartphones have already begun to floor on-line. The Cupertino-based firm might discontinue the iPhone Plus mannequin subsequent yr and exchange it with an iPhone 17 Slim model, in keeping with current stories. A well known analyst now states that the purported Slim mannequin shall be thinner than the iPhone 6. Moreover, the analysts claimed that Apple’s next-generation A19 chips for the iPhone 17 lineup shall be manufactured utilizing up to date expertise from TSMC.
iPhone 17 Air May Be Solely 6mm Thick
Jeff Pu of Haitong Worldwide Tech Analysis in his newest analysis be aware (via MacRumors) claims that the iPhone 17 Air shall be round 6mm thick. “We agreed with the current chatter of an 6mm thickness ultra-slim design of the iPhone 17 Slim mannequin,” the analyst reportedly said.
Apple’s thinnest iPhone thus far is the iPhone 6 with a thickness of 6.9mm. If the newest declare seems to be true, the iPhone 17 Air shall be Apple’s thinnest iPhone ever. The newest iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max have a thickness of 8.25mm, whereas the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are slimmer at 7.8mm.
The analyst reportedly stated that Apple’s A19 and A19 Professional chips for the iPhone 17 sequence shall be manufactured with TSMC’s newest third-generation 3nm course of known as ‘N3P’. Each iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air are mentioned to run on the A19 chip, whereas the iPhone 17 Professional and iPhone 17 Professional Max are mentioned to ship with the A19 Professional chip.
The present A18 and A18 Professional chips for the iPhone 16 lineup are constructed with TSMC’s second-generation 3nm course of referred to as ‘N3E’. The A17 Professional chip that powers the iPhone 15 Pro sequence is predicated on TSMC’s first-generation 3nm course of ‘N3B’.
The A19 chips manufactured utilizing the N3P course of are mentioned to supply elevated transistor density. Subsequently, we will anticipate iPhone 17 fashions to supply improved efficiency and energy effectivity in comparison with the iPhone 16 fashions.
