See: This is how thin the battery of the Apple iPhone 17 Air is

To make a very thin iPhone, you need a thin battery. And that is exactly what has appeared in the photos. But only when we put it next to a regular iPhone battery do we realize how thin the iPhone 17 Air's battery will really be.

The battery of the iPhone 17 Air sits in a metal casing and measures just 2.49 millimeters thick. Just how thick, or rather "thin," that is can be clearly seen in the photo below. In it, the battery of the 17 Air is compared to that of the 17 Pro. That of the Air looks half as thick.

A physically thin battery also has a downside - it has less capacity. The Apple iPhone 17 Air reportedly only has a battery capacity of 2800 mAh. That is significantly less than the 3550 mAh of the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro. How Apple plans to achieve one-day battery life anyway remains to be seen.

On the contrary, those who want an iPhone with more battery should look out for the iPhone 17 Pro Max in the fall. In that model, Apple will apply a 5000 mAh battery for the first time, according to rumors. We have seen such battery capacities in Android models for years but iPhones could get by with less for years because of the seamless integration of software and hardware.

Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 17 family sometime in September, as it does every year. That's when we'll know more.
