Released in 2017, the iPhone X was Apple’s biggest redesign. It removed the Home button, introduced FaceID, and got OLED displays with thinner bezels. The upcoming iPhone Slim is expected to continue this innovation trend.
The report suggests that the iPhone Slim will be significantly thinner than current iPhones and will replace the iPhone Plus model when the iPhone 16 launches in 2024. However, this new model may cost more than the Pro Max. Apple is still testing different designs, so the final look of the iPhone Slim is not yet clear. We could even call it the “iPhone Ultra”.
Additionally, analyst Ming-Chi Guo posted on Medium that the upcoming iPhone 16 will feature a stainless steel battery case for the first time. Unlike aluminum, stainless steel does not dissipate heat, but makes the phone more durable and protects the battery better.
The new battery design makes battery removal easier and helps Apple meet new EU smartphone repair regulations.
