The comparison images of the batteries highlight the dramatic difference in thickness between the iPhone 17 Air and the iPhone 17 Pro, showcasing Apple’s pursuit of extreme thinness. While this design choice results in a significantly smaller battery size, which is concerning for users, it also demonstrates Apple’s engineering commitment to innovation. The iPhone 17 Air’s chassis will be just 5.5mm thick, nearly double the thickness of its battery.
Although a thinner design offers novelty and more options compared to other models, there are drawbacks. Internal testing suggests that only about 60 to 70 percent of users will be able to go a full day on a single charge. To address this, Apple is planning to offer an optional battery case accessory for those who need extended runtime.
Beyond the battery case, the iPhone 17 Air will rely on the efficiency of the A19 chip and a custom modem that has improved battery life in previous models. The design choice represents a bold gamble for Apple, as it may not attract power users but those more focused on the device’s aesthetics.
Apart from the battery case, other features like the efficiency of the A19 chip and the custom modem will play a crucial role in extending battery life. We will continue to monitor these details closely. Do you think the iPhone 17 Air will last an entire day? Share your thoughts in the comments.
