According to Android Authority, while iPhone Pro models increasingly tend to increase screen size, the iPhone Plus line may go against this path, with the iPhone 17 Plus version likely to be made more compact by Apple.
According to leak expert Ross Young's prediction, the iPhone 17 Plus will have a smaller screen than previous generations, but the specific screen size of the iPhone 17 Plus has not yet been revealed. iPhone 15 Plus has a 6,7-inch screen.

Young's prediction shows that the iPhone 17 Plus screen may have a size between the standard iPhone 17/iPhone 17 Pro and the high-end iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Besides changes in size, the iPhone 17 series is also expected to have other screen improvements. According to previous reports, Apple may equip all iPhone 17 models with LTPO panels. This means that standard and Plus iPhone models will likely be integrated with ProMotion - screen technology with scanning frequency. 120 Hz is currently only available on Pro models.
In addition, iPhone 16 Pro Max, expected to launch later this year, is expected to have the largest screen ever on an iPhone with a size of 6,9 inches. Meanwhile, iPhone 16 Pro will have a 6,3-inch screen.
Although information about the iPhone 17 Plus is still quite limited, these predictions show that Apple may be making significant design changes for the future iPhone Plus line.
