iPhone 17 Air battery only lasts for more than half a day?

Apple is preparing to launch the iPhone 17 Air, which is expected to replace the iPhone 17 Plus in the new product line. This is the most anticipated iPhone in the technology world, surpassing both the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max.

According to leaked information, the iPhone 17 Air will have an ultra-thin design with a thickness of only 5.5mm, becoming the thinnest iPhone ever and one of the thinnest smartphones in the world.

However, to achieve this design, Apple had to compromise many important factors.

The Information news site said that Apple had to reduce the battery capacity of the iPhone 17 Air because there was no more space to arrange a larger battery. The battery of the iPhone 17 Air is only enough for more than half a day of use.

That forces users to carry a spare charger if they want to use it for a long time. Apple may sell a case that doubles as a spare charger to extend battery life.

In addition, the iPhone 17 Air only has one camera on the back due to its thin design, which does not allow for a multi-lens camera cluster.

The question is, do users really need such a super thin phone, or do they want a device with a normal design but a large battery for long-term use?

Many people are concerned that the iPhone 17 Air may be less durable and prone to bending if kept in a pocket or accidentally sat on. Previously, the iPhone 6 also faced a similar problem when it was launched in 2014 with a thickness of 6.9mm.

Apple seems to be choosing a separate direction in the context of being slow in the race to develop foldable screen phones, by launching an ultra-thin phone to create a highlight and attract users.
