Apple is reportedly working on the Apple iPhone 17 series. Earlier this week, a report revealed that Apple is working on a slim model for the iPhone 17 series that will replace the Plus variant. Although the report gives information about many specifications of this new smartphone, it does not reveal the camera system. Now Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has revealed this.

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 since the iPhone 8. Kuo says that Apple will focus on the unique form factor design with the iPhone 17 Slim rather than competing on hardware specifications. In simple words, the focus is on design and portability compared to the standard and Pro models.

The rest of the leaks largely match previous rumours. The iPhone 17 Slim is expected to get a 6.6-inch display with 1260×2740 resolution. It will have the A19 chip, which is down from the A19 Pro in the Pro models. The notch replacement in the iPhone, the Dynamic Island, will be carried over from the current iPhones.

Kuo has also shared the information that AppleWhy is Apple discontinuing the iPhone Plus model. Currently, the iPhone Plus has a share of only 5 percent to 10 percent in iPhone shipments, due to which this step is being taken.
