After the launch of the iPhone 16, rumours mills are creating a buzz for the next fall’s release iPhone 17 now. A renowned tipster has recently leaked a few details about Apple’s next flagship handset that are discussed below.

The iPhone 17 Air/Slim is tipped to replace the iPhone 17 Plus as a thinner variant, featuring OLED technology in an enlarged 6.6 inches and a smaller hole cutout for the Dynamic Island. 

The American tech giant launched the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus with the same technology, however; it wasn’t integrated into the flagship iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max models.

Based on the feedback that Apple received from the Genius Bar repairs after the launch of the latest smartphone series. The company could modify its design plans for the upcoming series before its official launch in 2025.

The tipster said that “the main function of these adhesives is to cause the battery to detach with very little force, once the correct tension is applied to the new adhesive used it will be enough to apply a small electrical voltage to the adhesive to make it release, allowing the battery to detach from the frame without any effort."

Apple needs to supersede the batteries in all the upcoming flagship series of smartphones without risking damage to their devices.

However, all of these details are nothing more than just speculation and currently, these are the early iPhone 17 rumour cycle, and nobody is aware of what else could come into the spotlight between now and the launch of iPhone 17.
