Thin could be in: Apple expected to make ‘skinnier’ iPhone, Watch and more

Apple could make almost all its devices much thinner -- "thinnest and lightest products in their categories across the whole tech industry.”

In May 2024, when Apple released the new iPad Pro, it was the thinnest iPad ever. In fact, it was even thinner than the iPad Air whose USP has always been thin and light. A new report by Bloomberg suggests that Apple is set to expand the thin is in mantra to almost all its devices. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that the company is looking at “a new class of Apple devices that should be the thinnest and lightest products in their categories across the whole tech industry.”

This is not the first time speculation about thinner Apple products has surfaced. An earlier report by The Information also shed light on Apple’s plans. There have been rumours about an “iPhone 17 Slim” edition.

The report by Bloomberg also suggests that a really thin iPhone could arrive by 2025. Rumours suggest that the 'Slim' iPhone could be more expensive than the iPhone Pro Max. The screen size is expected to be smaller than the Pro Max but bigger than the Pro, which are 6.7-inch and 6.1-inch respectively.

It is also rumoured that none of the thin devices expected to launch this year. The report mentions that Apple is working on making the Apple Watch and MacBook also thinner.

The iPhone 16 series, which is expected to launch in September 2024, is likely to follow the current dimensions. Even the Apple Watch model for 2024 is not rumoured to get a thinner version.
