關於2H25新款iPhone 17產品組合與超薄iPhone 17的預測與分析 / Predictions and analysis of the 2H25 new iPhone 17 product lines and the ultra-slim iPhone 17
Apple將移除iPhone 17 Plus
目前Plus僅佔新款iPhone整體出貨約5–10%，意味著其他三款iPhone機型 (標準版、Pro與Pro Max) 已經很好的覆蓋了高階手機的產品區隔，Plus淪為可有可無的機型。
2H25新款iPhone 17將新增超薄機型
此新款超薄機型的定位並非取代Plus，而是Apple嘗試在既有的iPhone產品線外，找到新的設計趨勢。
聚焦在設計，而非硬體規格
超薄iPhone 17的產品定位不在於比拼硬體規格 (處理器、相機等)，而是聚焦在創新外觀設計。
超薄iPhone 17目前已知規格，包括：
1. 螢幕尺寸約6.6"、
2. 螢幕解析度約2,740*1,260、
3. A19處理器 (高階iPhone採用A19 Pro)、
4. 動態島面積與目前的差不多、
5. 採用鈦鋁合金中框，鈦的比重低於目前的Pro與Pro Max的中框 (其他iPhone 17機型都用鋁中框)、
6. 配備Apple自家5G晶片、與
7. 後方僅配備單顆相機 (廣角)。
Apple will discontinue the iPhone 17 Plus
The Plus model currently accounts for only about 5–10% of total new iPhone shipments. It implies that the other three iPhone models (standard, Pro, and Pro Max) already adequately cover the high-end market segments, making the Plus model redundant.
Introduction of an ultra-slim model in 2H25
The new ultra-slim model is not positioned to replace the Plus. Instead, Apple is exploring new design trends beyond the existing iPhone lineup.
Focus on design over hardware specifications
The ultra-slim iPhone 17 will emphasize innovative form factor design rather than competing on hardware specifications (processor, camera, etc.).
Currently known specifications of the ultra-thin iPhone 17
1. Screen size: Approximately 6.6 inches
2. Screen resolution: Approximately 2,740 x 1,260
3. Processor: A19 chip (with the higher-end iPhones using the A19 Pro)
4. Dynamic island area: Similar to current models
5. Metal frame: Adoption of a titanium-aluminum alloy metal frame, with a lower percentage of titanium than the current Pro and Pro Max metal frames (with other iPhone 17 models using aluminum metal frames)
6. 5G chip: Adoption of Apple’s in-house 5G chip
7. Camera: Single rear camera (wide camera)
