The iPhone 17 series is ahead of the curve, and the iPhone 17 Plus may reduce the screen size to widen the product gap

As many details of the iPhone 16 series have surfaced, whistleblowers and technology media have gradually taken a long-term view and made early predictions for the iPhone 17 series phones that will not be available until next year.

Among them, Ross Young, a screen supply chain person who has accurately predicted Apple's information many times, publicly said on social media that the screen size of the iPhone 17 series of mobile phones may be adjusted again, and the screen size of the iPhone 17 Plus may be less than 6.7 inches, causing controversy.

At present, the iPhone 15 Plus is a large-screen model, which has the same screen size as the iPhone 15 Pro Max, both 6.7 inches, and combined with the recent news from multiple sources, the screen size of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be increased, to 6.3/6.9 inches. Therefore, the unconventional operation of the iPhone 17 Plus's screen size does not rise but falls, which is indeed questionable. In this regard, some bloggers said that Apple's move may further widen the gap in product power, hoping that large-screen audience users will tilt towards Pro Max, which has higher configuration specifications and is more expensive. For the standard and Plus versions, Apple's update efforts may be further reduced.

It should be pointed out that in the first quarter of 2024, Apple's global mobile phone shipments have declined slightly, which is rare for Apple, which has been rising in shipments before, but it can also be glimpsed that due to the small iteration of product upgrades and insufficient product improvement, users' enthusiasm for iPhone mobile phone updates has declined.
