iPhone 17 Plus to feature a smaller screen than current 'Plus' phones

• ksec 3y ago
  Assuming Ross's rumour is true and he is rarely wrong about Display Screen information. If Apple were to keep normal iPhone the same Aspect Ratio as Pro, i.e the new 19.6 : 9 Ratio. ( They are making it slightly longer to compensate for the space used for Dynamic Island ) And ALL the iPhone range will keep the same size difference between Normal / Plus and Pro / Pro Max, which is roughly 19.5 - 20% larger area for the bigger model. Then an iPhone 17 with 5.9" Screen would have an iPhone 17 Plus with 6.46" ( Likely calling it 6.5" ), which fits nicely between 6.3" in the iPhone 17 Pro and 6.9" of the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The iPhone 5.9" would satisfy most of the demand for smaller iPhone, while 6.5" would not cannibalise the iPhone Pro Max sales. This is similar to the MacBook line up, where the Air has 13" and 15" Screen size while Pro has 14" and 16" Screen size.

  The link is to a jpeg and the next iPhone is surely 16. Is this a test?

  We need better marketing names than mini, plus and pro. Something like Big Gulp, Big Gulp Jr.
