Apple iPhone 17 Air Latest Leak Promises Welcome Design Upgrade

UNITED STATES, AUG 1 – Leaker Majin Bu revealed the iPhone 17 Air's battery capacity as about 2,900mAh, matching prior estimates for Apple's thinnest phone yet.

  • New images show the iPhone 17 Air's battery in a steel case, with a capacity of around 2,900 mAh, shared by leaker Majin Bu.
  • Earlier this year, Apple is set to replace its “Plus” model with an ultra-thin “Air” that measures about 5.55 mm, limiting internal space for the battery.
  • Apple’s internal evaluations found only 60% to 70% of users endure a full day without recharging, aided by iOS 26's Adaptive Power Mode and the A19 Bionic chip.
  • Planning to mitigate battery constraints, Apple will unveil the iPhone 17 Air on September 9 and offer an optional battery case accessory.
  • This capacity could make the iPhone 17 Air’s battery the shortest since the iPhone 13 series, potentially relegating it to a secondary choice in Apple’s lineup.
