Even before the iPhone 16 hits the market, rumors about the iPhone 17 are already stirring excitement. While the iPhone 16 is expected to feature slimmer bezels, a new camera button, and better battery life, the rumors about the iPhone 17 are even more intriguing. Here’s why you might consider waiting for the iPhone 17 instead of getting the iPhone 16:

1. A New, Sleek, and Slim Model

Apple is rumored to be working on a slimmer version of the iPhone 17. Renowned Apple analyst Jeff Pu suggests that the ‘Plus’ model might be discontinued in favor of a new ‘Slim’ device. This means we could see a lineup including the iPhone 17 Slim, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Reports from Ross Young and The Information also support this, indicating that the Plus model may be replaced by a new, thin variant.

2. A New and Improved Selfie Camera

According to another respected Apple analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 17 is expected to feature a 24-megapixel front camera. The megapixel count has remained the same since the iPhone 11, so this upgrade is significant. It’s still unclear if this camera will be available across all models or just a few, but it’s certain that the iPhone 17 will bring major improvements for selfie enthusiasts.

3. Repositioned Camera

If you’re tired of the camera being in the top-left corner, rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 Slim might move its camera to the center top. Additionally, the iPhone 17 Slim might have only a single rear camera with a wide lens. For those who appreciate visual symmetry, Apple’s shift of the wide camera to the top center could be appealing.

Moreover, there are also rumors that Apple might reduce the size of the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 17 thanks to new under-display Face ID technology, potentially offering a larger screen experience.
