Meet iPhone 17 Slim
First look at specs and anticipated price of new model.
If the rumors prove true, Apple will significantly shake up the iPhone 17 lineup, due next year.
In addition to the four models we’ve come to expect — big and small Pro models plus big and small regular ones — Apple reportedly plans to throw in a new “super-premium” iPhone 17 model.
Dubbed the “iPhone 17 Slim,” this new iPhone sounds similar to the now-discontinued iPhone mini in many ways.
But instead of being small and pocketable, this new model will be, well, large and pocketable. Here is the first info about expected specs and pricing. It sounds very cool, but we definitely need more details.
Likewise, the unloved iPhone SE — Apple’s all-important handset for the lower end of the market — might get a pretty impressive spec bump next year.
Also in today’s newsletter:
Apple TV+ has been a big hit with critics, but despite spending billions, it’s still not threatening Netflix’s dominance. It might be time to reign in the lavish spending, according to a new report.
I saw a lot of people boasting on socials about picking up a pair of pricey but wonderful AirPods Max on Amazon Prime Day — but now they’re even cheaper!
If you’re a Mac user, here are some good reasons to pick up a VPN.
Apple TV+’s Sunny, a mystery thriller starring Rashida Jones and a robot, quickly became one of the most popular shows on streaming.

One more thing ...
Recruiting is hard. It's just finding the needles in the haystack. We do it ourselves and we spend a lot of time at it. I've participated in the hiring of maybe 5,000-plus people in my life. So I take it very seriously. You can't know enough in a one-hour interview. So, in the end, it's ultimately based on your gut. How do I feel about this person? What are they like when they're challenged? Why are they here? I ask everybody that: “Why are you here?” The answers themselves are not what you're looking for. It's the metadata.
