The end of 2025 is quiet on the official release front, but the supply chains are roaring with leaks about what is coming next. This week, the focus shifts to massive design changes coming to Cupertino, Sony’s potential answer to the Switch, and the next leap in PC graphics.
Here is what the insiders are whispering about this week.
The iPhone 17 “Slim” to Replace the Plus Model?
The iPhone 16 lineup just settled in, but all eyes are already on the 2026 devices. Reliable supply chain analysts are doubling down on the rumour that Apple is planning its most significant design shake-up since the iPhone X.
The Leak: According to reports circulating on Korean forums and backed by noted leakers, the “Plus” model is dead. It will be replaced by an iPhone 17 “Slim” (or potentially “Air”). This device is rumoured to be incredibly thin, utilizing a new high-density battery technology, and may finally debut the long-awaited under-display Face ID, eliminating the Dynamic Island entirely on high-end models.
Credibility Check: Moderate. Apple often tests radical designs years in advance. While the “Slim” form factor seems likely, fully hiding the sensors under the display remains a massive technical hurdle that has delayed previous models.
