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 may discontinue the iPhone Plus mannequin subsequent yr and substitute it with an iPhone 17 Slim model, in response to current experiences. A well known analyst now states that the purported Slim mannequin can be thinner than the iPhone 6. Moreover, the analysts claimed that Apple’s next-generation A19 chips for the iPhone 17 lineup can be manufactured utilizing up to date expertise from TSMC.
iPhone 17 Air Might Be Solely 6mm Thick
Jeff Pu of Haitong Worldwide Tech Analysis in his newest analysis word (through MacRumors) claims that the iPhone 17 Air can 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 acknowledged.
Apple’s thinnest iPhone up to now is the iPhone 6 with a thickness of 6.9mm. If the newest declare seems to be true, the iPhone 17 Air can be Apple’s thinnest iPhone ever. The newest iPhone 16 Professional and iPhone 16 Professional Max have a thickness of 8.25mm, whereas the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are slimmer at 7.8mm.
The analyst reportedly acknowledged that Apple’s A19 and A19 Professional chips for the iPhone 17 collection can 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 Professional collection relies 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 are able to anticipate iPhone 17 fashions to supply improved efficiency and energy effectivity in comparison with the iPhone 16 fashions.
