iPhone 17 Air is going to be the next sleek device in the market and Apple seems to be planning something big for it.
iPhone 17 Air design and battery details have people concerned.
iPhone 17 Air could be the next premium model this year to feature a sleek and lightweight design. Samsung has taken the first honours for doing that with the Galaxy S25 Edge but Apple has got people excited in a whole different way.
The iPhone 17 Air will sit in a unique position in the series lineup later this year and new details keep coming out that shows what the company might be planning for the new device, how to handle its size and what is the best way to fit the ideal battery pack inside.
iPhone 17 Air Battery Tech Revealed
Earlier leaks suggested the iPhone 17 Air will come with a 2,800mAh battery which will help the device to weigh around 145 grams and get 5.5mm thickness. However, new details hint at a different plan which in some ways is better than the earlier reports.
Tipster Majin Bu is back in the news again, and this time he talks about Apple using the silicon-carbon battery tech to offer a bigger unit on the iPhone 17 Air without reducing its size or making the device thick. This suggests the Air model will come with a bigger unit than the supposed 2,800mAh battery. We really hope the company also brings faster charging speeds for the new model.
But along with being a sleek device, Bu claims Apple will make sure the iPhone 17 Air will be durable thanks to its use of the 7000 series aluminium alloy for the frame which will give it a lighter touch compared to the iPhone 16 Pro titanium frame.
The tipster also claims the OLED display will be the heaviest part of the iPhone 17 Air along with the battery. The new model is likely to get a single 48MP rear camera, powered by Apple’s A19 chipset and offered with 8GB RAM support Apple AI features and tools.
Bu was also on hand to share the supposed bend test video of the iPhone 17 Air model and the test video suggests the iPhone 17 Air has been built using solid materials which means the model is able to stay in shape despite the person putting strong effort to try and bend the device.
