- New images claim to display the iPhone 17 Air battery
- It seems that it is about half of the width of the battery of the iPhone 17 Pro
- Apple would work on advanced battery technology for the device
The iPhone 17 could be one of the best iPhones for many years, and with only one month until Apple reveals it, details and specifications have started to escape. The last rumor concerns the telephone battery and raises important questions on Apple’s slimline device.
As its name suggests, the air of the iPhone 17 should be the thinnest iPhone of recent memory. This means that it will need a super-wire battery inside, and that’s exactly what the new images of the Naver Korean blog site seem to detail.
There, the leak, Yeuux1122 published two images showing what they claim to be the battery of the iPhone 17. In the first image, the disclosed battery is compared to that of the iPhone 17 pro, eyes1122 claiming that the first is only 2.49 mm thick. Judging it to the eye, it seems that it is about half of the width of the battery of the iPhone 17 Pro, which itself was disclosed just a few days ago.
Battery capacity in relation to battery life
Obviously, the reduction in the dimensions of the battery is necessary in a phone as thin as the air of the iPhone 17 should be. But this is not the only consideration for Apple: it will have to ensure that the longevity of the battery is not affected negatively by its size.
A previous leakage of eyes1122 said that the iPhone 17 air battery would have a capacity of 2,800 mAh. It is especially less than the 3,582 mAh battery in the iPhone 16 pro and well below the 4,685 mAh battery that you will find in the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
However, this does not necessarily mean that the air of the iPhone 17 will have poor battery life – after all, a large part comes down to the need that the hardware and software is demanding, and Apple is traditionally very good to optimize them to eliminate more battery life – something he does what he does in iOS 26.
In addition, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously said that Apple would use a “high density” battery, while other rumors have pointed to Apple using a new type of advanced battery technology in the air of iPhone 17.
At the moment, all this is hearing, and we will not know with certainty how the battery of the iPhone 17 Air will occur until the device is sold in September. Despite its so-called ultra-thin dimensions, it could still display respectable battery numbers-but all that we can do for the moment is to wait for other news and emerging leaks.
