iPhone 17 Slim will be thinner and SIM-free, potentially impacting sales in some markets.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that the upcoming iPhone 17 Slim will be even thinner at 5.5mm in some areas, eliminating the SIM card tray. This design could face sales challenges in markets like China. Kuo expects the iPhone 17 Slim to outsell the iPhone 16 Plus but may not greatly increase overall sales due to higher pricing. Apple is also reportedly developing a foldable iPhone, though it's years away due to challenges with the design. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to have a 6.6-inch display and use Apple's in-house 5G modem, with eSIM support only, potentially affecting sales in regions preferring physical SIM cards.
