While the iPhone 16 has only just been released, rumors about the next generation continue to hit the headlines. Even if Apple has just released its new model, it is already working on the iPhone 17. With this next range, which isplanned for 2025, Apple would seek to completely rethink the design of its smartphone, with a modelparticularly thin and light.
This new iPhone, which could be called “iPhone 17 Air”, would be a real departure from current models. His secret? The adoption of anew OLED display technologywith integration of touch control and display circuits (TDDI).
Record finesse thanks to TDDI
The TDDI would make it possible tomerge touchscreen and display layersin one. As a result, the thickness of the screen would be considerably reduced, and by extension that of the iPhone. According to DigiTimes, the Taiwanese supplier Novatek plans to launch mass production of these TDDI OLED screens from the second quarter of 2025. The timing therefore seems perfect to equip the supposed iPhone 17 Air.
Although Novatek remains tight-lipped about its potential customers, analysts believe Apple could be an early adopter of the technology. The Apple firm would not be its first attempt, since it already uses TDDI on certain devices, includingthe latest ultra-thin iPad Pro M4.
An ultra-thin that involves compromises
This iPhone 17 Air would mark amajor turning point in designApple smartphones. Since the iPhone X in 2017, changes have remained minor from one generation to the next. This quest for finesse could come at the expense of other aspects. The space for the battery would, for example, be reduced, as would that for the photo sensors.
Apple must be ingenious to maintain acceptable performance, while offering good battery life. To read more about this supposed iPhone 17 Air,go here.
