Igeekphone January 16 news, according to the well-known digital blogger @digital chat station broke the news, Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Air, in order to thin design, may be equipped with a capacity between 3000 and 4000mAh battery.
This data, compared with the previous iPhone 16, its battery capacity may be reduced, which is closely related to its flagship extremely thin design.
At present, Apple has not officially disclosed the specific battery capacity of the iPhone 16, but the disassembly data shows that the battery capacity of the iPhone 16 is 3561mAh.
If the iPhone 17 Air can maintain this level, it may solve the battery life problem.
However, the leaked information shows that the iPhone 17 Air’s body is only 5.5mm at its thinnest point, which is close to the 5.1mm thickness of the 13-inch iPad Pro, which will make the design of large-capacity batteries more challenging.
In addition to battery capacity concerns, the iPhone 17 Air is likely to do away with the physical SIM slot, support only e-SIM, and come with a 48-megapixel rear camera and Apple’s own 5G modem.
The iPhone 17 Air is expected to cost around $900 and is positioned to replace the existing iPhone Plus series, which is expected to be released alongside the iPhone 17 series in September 2025.
