Apple’s progress with slimmer iPhones sounds stunning, and worrying
Apple’s first in-house cellular modem will reportedly start appearing in iPhones and iPads starting next year. The move, which kicks into action with the 2025 iPhone SE refresh, is aimed at helping Apple end its reliance on other suppliers for the part.
The shift, however, also frees up more wiggle room for its engineers to experiment with new designs. One of those could very well be the upcoming iPhone 17 Slim or Air model, which is poised to replace the “Plus” version in the current lineup.
