A recent leak from Apple's supply chain has shed light on the upcoming iPhone 17 Air, showcasing its impressive 5.5mm thickness and revealing key details about its battery capacity and weight.
The leak suggests that the iPhone 17 Air will come equipped with a 2,800 mAh battery, which is notably lower than the 3,900 mAh battery found in the similarly-sized Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. However, there are speculations that Apple may utilize high-density battery technology to potentially increase the capacity by 15-20%.
In addition to the battery capacity, the leak also discloses that the iPhone 17 Air will weigh 145 grams, lighter than the Galaxy S25 Edge despite having a larger screen.
There are various theories surrounding Apple's decision to opt for a smaller battery capacity, with some speculating that it could lead to increased sales of battery cases. However, other reports indicate that Apple may be working on an AI-powered battery-saving feature to enhance the device's overall battery performance.
