IPhone 17 Air’s Battery Life Falls Short of Expectations

Quick Summary

• The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to feature a thickness of just 5.5mm and a weight of 145g, making it one of the lightest and thinnest smartphones in modern times.
• Its battery capacity is reported to be only 2,800mAh, which is significantly lower than previous iPhone models.For comparison:

– iPhone 16 had minimum battery capacities starting at 3,561mAh and going up to over 4,600mAh.
– Smaller batteries under the 3,000mAh range were last seen in compact iPhones like the iPhone SE (2,018mAh) and iPhone Mini (2,438mAh).

• The device houses an alleged larger display (6.65 inches), creating concerns about actual battery life performance given the larger power demand relative to its capacity.
• Apple reportedly might release a separate battery case for better endurance despite its ultra-thin design focus.
