Rumor Says iPhone 17 Plus May Have Smaller Screens

The iPhone 15 Plus, featuring a 6.7-inch screen, shares its screen size with the iPhone 15 Pro Max. According to current rumors, the upcoming iPhone 16 Plus is expected to maintain this same screen size. However, a recent rumor suggests a notable change for the iPhone 17 Plus.

Ross Young from Display Supply Chain Consultants indicates that the iPhone 17 Plus will have a smaller screen than both the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 16 Plus. While Young did not specify the exact screen size for the iPhone 17 Plus, he noted that its size would place it somewhere between the standard iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Speculation also suggests that if the iPhone 16 Pro Max expands to a 6.9-inch display, the iPhone 16 Plus might follow suit. However, it’s still too early in the development cycle of the iPhone 17 family to take these rumors as definitive. Accurate size details will provide more clarity in the future.

Nevertheless, Ross Young has a strong track record of reliable information regarding display technology, lending some credibility to these rumors. Thus, it wouldn’t be surprising if Apple decides to further differentiate its smartphone lineup by altering screen sizes next year. This strategy could provide consumers with more varied options, catering to different preferences and needs in terms of device size.
