Futuristic Slim Design

Apple is reportedly working on an ultra-thin design for the iPhone 17 Ultra, potentially making it the slimmest iPhone ever. The recent M4 iPad Pro, known for its slim profile, hints at what Apple might achieve with the new iPhone. While a thinner design isn't a necessity, it could provide a sleek, futuristic feel without compromising battery life. This would mark a significant shift in iPhone aesthetics, offering users a device that feels both modern and advanced, reported 9to5mac.

Next-Level Camera System

The iPhone 17 lineup is expected to feature a major upgrade to the front-facing camera, increasing from 12MP to 24MP. However, the real innovation might be in the rear camera system. Rumours suggest that the rear cameras could be relocated from the upper-left corner to the top centre of the phone. This change could introduce new camera technology exclusive to the iPhone 17 Ultra, making it a standout feature.
