hello. This is Technologytodaynow. In this post, we’ll give you the latest news about the iPhone 17 Slim model.
Possible introduction of iPhone 17 Slim TTDI technology
The Plus model was introduced to the iPhone lineup starting with the 14 series, replacing the sluggish-selling Mini model. However, like the Mini model, the Plus model has also suffered from poor sales, so Apple is discontinuing the Plus model and replacing it with the iPhone 17 Slim, which significantly reduces thickness andweight to maximize portability.
Application of TTDI technology
According to a report from Taiwan’s Digitimes, the iPhone 17 Slim will use a new technology called Touch and Display Driver Integration (TTDI) to realize its thinness. TTDI stands for Touch and Display Driver Integration, a technology that integrates the touch sensor layer and display driver into a single unit. This allows for a dramatic reduction in the thickness of the display module.
Novatek’s potential for TTDI OLED adoption
The Taiwan Digitimes also notes that TTDI OLEDs are manufactured by Novatek in Taiwan, and that the technology is likely to be used in the iPhone 17 Slim. TTDI is likely to play a key role in reducing the thickness of the iPhone 17 Slim, but there is no official confirmation of Apple’s partnership with Novatek yet.
It’s also possible that Apple is testing with technology from other vendors than Novatek, or that Apple may choose to adopt TTDI for other Apple products before the iPhone, such as the Apple Watch or iPad, so it remains to be seen if the iPhone 17 Slim will feature TTDI OLED.
The iPhone 17 Slim may be the thinnest iPhone in history
So far, we’ve brought you the latest updates on the iPhone 17 slimmer model. If TTDI is successfully applied, we expect to see a new type of iPhone with both a slim design and outstanding display quality. With the iPad Pro 13-inch being 5.1mm thick, it’s the thinnest product in Apple’s history, and I wonder how thick the iPhone 17 slim is.
