The iPhone 17 Air is set to make its debut this year, joining the lineup of the highly anticipated iPhone 17 models. With a focus on extreme thinness, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to feature a single rear camera, similar to the iPhone 16e. Recently, leaked images of the iPhone 17 Air's battery have surfaced, showcasing its unique design and revealing a surprisingly small battery capacity of around 2,900 mAh. This is notably smaller than its predecessors, such as the iPhone 16 which boasts a 3,561 mAh battery.
The battery of the iPhone 17 Air will be encased in steel, a feature first introduced in the iPhone 16 Pro for enhanced heat dissipation and battery density. The steel case is designed to seamlessly integrate with the phone's L-shaped design and reduced-size logic board. Additionally, the iPhone 17 lineup is rumored to come with new battery adhesives to facilitate easier replacements. Anticipated to be unveiled in September, the iPhone 17 series is expected to set a new standard for design and performance.
