New leak shows important design details

The loosely expected slim phone, which is reached into the iPhone range in September (colloquially called iPhone 17 Air), slowly focuses. A new leak shows the battery capacity and its weight.

Sure, you say the weight is not so important, right? I would agree, unless the phone is geared towards hauling it and therefore being super light, it is important.

The weight is impressive, about the iPhone 13 mini (141 g). It means that even if it has only one camera, as predicted that the iPhone 17 Air really stimulates it.

The battery size is fascinating. As shown by 9to5mac, this is a battery size that Apple used before. “The battery capacity of 2800 mAh is not necessarily surprising. This is roughly the same battery capacity as the almost five-year iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro, both of which shared a 2815 mAh cell in a 6.1-inch form factor. None of these phones had a star battery life, but it was certainly not terrible,” it says.

It has recently been reported that Apple could make this size than ever before with the accuoptimization predicted for iOS 19. Nevertheless, “This means that iPhone 17 Air has a reduction of approximately 20% of a standard iPhone and about 40% of an iPhone with a similar screen size”, calculates 9to5mac.

However, the tasty has more. “PS for additional batteries is the option of installing a battery with a high density of a 2800 mAh cell (actual capacity 15% 20%)”, which could mean that the battery life would be much closer to what you would find in iPhone 16.
