📱 iPhone 17 Air: Ultra-Thin Battery Tech vs. iPhone 17 Pro

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Air is shaping up to be the company’s thinnest iPhone ever. Poised to challenge the sleekness of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, the iPhone 17 Air is grabbing attention for its ultra-slim battery technology.

A new leak, courtesy of tech source yeux1122 on Naver Blog, showcases a side-by-side comparison between the iPhone 17 Air’s battery and that of the chunkier iPhone 17 Pro. The Air’s battery is reportedly just 2.49 mm thick—less than half the thickness of its Pro counterpart.

The trade-off for this design marvel? A reduced battery capacity. Rumors suggest the Air may offer only 2,800 to 3,000 mAh, potentially making it the lowest-capacity iPhone since the iPhone 13 mini.

In a notable shift, Apple is expected to enclose both the Air and Pro batteries in metal casings to improve durability and repairability. A film layer on top is likely to help with heat dissipation, boosting performance and longevity.

The iPhone 17 Air is also expected to feature a 6.6-inch display, possibly serving as a sleek quasi-replacement for the iPhone 16 Plus.

As Apple continues to push the boundaries of design and engineering, the iPhone 17 Air might just be its boldest move yet in the ultra-thin category.
