Apple plans to make the iPhone 17 Air just 5.5mm thick, but this creates problems with battery life. The new phone will carry a tiny 2,800mAh battery, according to Korean blog Naver. This small power supply might require users to buy an extra battery case from Apple. Tests show the thin phone lasts a full day only 6-7 times out of 10, compared to other iPhones that make it through 8-9 times out of 10.
The super slim design weighs only 145 grams, making it very light compared to other models. Apple might add a better battery with 20% more power before the final release. The company has started working with manufacturers on new pure silicon battery technology. This new tech could store more power without making phones thicker. Until these batteries arrive, future Air models will continue to have poor battery life.
