Supply-chain analyst Ross Young posted on X this week that he’d heard that the iPhone 17 Plus will come with a smaller screen than the 6.7-inch display on the current-generation iPhone 15 Plus.
It’s unclear why Apple would opt for a smaller-size screen for its iPhone 17 Plus, but MacRumors suggests the change could help further differentiate the Plus model from its more expensive Pro Max cousin. Though Apple is expected to increase the screen size of its upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max this fall, changing the screen size on the iPhone 17 Plus would likely help each iPhone stand apart even more.
It’s also possible Apple has learned through customer feedback that customers who look at the Plus-size iPhones want a device that’s bigger than the entry-level iPhone but not as big as the Pro Max.
As mentioned, Apple is expected this year to adjust screen sizes of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, which will reportedly have slimmer bezel borders and larger displays.

Apple stock down to $165 from $199. It’s easy to say it’s a buy opportunity, but is it? Has the lack of innovation, connection with CCP, woke agenda, and faux green energy agenda finally caught up the feckless Tom Cook and his visionless board?
It has been a “buying opportunity” at this level before, the problem is that no one EVER highlights the ‘selling opportunity’ when Apple is at all-time highs like late last year. If Apple gets close to $200 again I’m selling 10% as a matter of principle. I’ve been left flat footed too many times when it then loses 20% of its value in a matter of weeks or months.
Yes, I’m still way up since initially investing in 2010, but I’m about even from 18 months ago. What the heck is the point of holding the stock when it’s lagging behind all of its rivals? Certainly not for the measly dividend.
So it’ll be 6.66-inches?
😈
apple is shooting itself in the foot. high prices are killing the company. Executive compensation is too high and is not justified. greed in what is driving inflation, nothing else.
Wonder what happened with the anticipated foldable iPhone mentioned back in 2021?
