iPhone 17 Air leak shows off impossibly thin battery — and it’s bigger than we thought
We’re so near the launch of Apple’s subsequent iPhone technology. The iPhone 17 sequence is predicted to be formally introduced subsequent month, and constant rumors have urged that there might be an iPhone 17 Air accompanying the standard suspects.
A brand new rumor from dependable leaker Mijan Bu reveals the iPhone 17 Air’s battery capability, which is reportedly 2,900mAh, barely bigger than initially anticipated. The leak additionally says the battery is housed in a metal case.
Beforehand, we had heard that Apple’s extra-slim cellphone would have a 2,800mAh battery. Certain, it’s solely 100mAh distinction, however while you’re speaking a couple of battery that small (the iPhone 16 makes use of a 3,561mAh battery, for perspective) any additional juice is an effective factor.
As scary as a battery that small is, studies point out that it will nonetheless supply a full day of battery life due to enhancements in battery life expertise and some efficiency tweaks in iOS 26. Clearly, we’ll want to check this for ourselves to see if a battery below 3,000mAh can actually meet the calls for of iPhone customers, however I am hopeful.
The battery is predicted to be small, as earlier studies have indicated that the cellphone might be simply 5.5mm thick. The iPhone 16 is 7.8mm, so there is a noticeable distinction in depth between the present cellphone and the rumored Air. If Apple manages to get to that rumored thickness, that will simply beat the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, which measures 5.8mm.
Apple might not be the primary to launch a thin cellphone, but it surely might need the thinnest, which appears to be the best way Apple operates.

The present prevailing rumor has mentioned that Apple will maintain its iPhone 17 occasion between September 8 and 10, so we will not want to attend too lengthy to be taught all in regards to the thin iPhone on the horizon.
