Apple faces tough questions about its super-slim iPhone 17 Air. The company might sell a separate battery case because tests show poor battery life. According to inside reports from The Information, only 60-70 percent of users can make it through a full day without recharging.
Apple hasn't shared the exact battery size, but compared with other iPhones, the Air falls short. Standard iPhone models keep 80-90 percent of users powered all day. The company didn't explain what activities drain the battery fastest or how users might stretch battery life. Real-world usage will differ from test conditions, with battery health declining over time.
The iPhone 17 Air will measure just 5.5mm thick, making an extra battery case less bulky than on thicker phones. Adding this case should greatly extend users' time between charges. Price details remain unknown for both the phone and its case. Other companies may create cheaper battery cases after launch. More details will come when Apple releases the phone this September.
