The iPhone 17 may not end up as thin as Apple was hoping
 

• Apple was reportedly planning to make the iPhone 17 “significantly thinner.”
• However, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that Apple has delayed its plans to use space-saving RCC components in the new iPhone.
• Theres no indication, at the moment, of when Apple might begin using RCC in future iPhone models.

After Apple launched a slim iPad Pro in May, it was reported that the tech giant was also looking to slim down the iPhone scheduled for 2025 and other Apple devices. However, it appears that Apples plans might have run into a hitch.

A recent post from reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo on X (formerly Twitter) notes that Apple has once again delayed its plans to use resin-coated copper (RCC) components in its future iPhone. Using RCC components would help the Cupertino-based firm cut down on internal space requirements, allowing for potentially slimmer designs or even larger batteries in future iPhones.
