Disappointing news about iPhone 17 Air

(Dan Tri) - In an internal test, only about 60-70% of users can use the iPhone 17 Air for a full day without needing to recharge the device.

According to MacRumors , the iPhone 17 Air will only be equipped with a 2,900mAh battery. This move is to ensure that Apple can create a phone with an ultra-thin design, measuring 5.5mm at its thinnest point.

If the 2,900mAh figure is accurate, the iPhone 17 Air will become the iPhone with the lowest battery capacity since the iPhone 13 lineup to date.

Leaked information says that Apple has conducted an internal test and only about 60-70% of users can use the iPhone 17 Air for a full day without needing to recharge the device.

To address this issue, the company will introduce a battery-integrated case specifically for the iPhone 17 Air. In addition, the battery-saving features of iOS 26 are also expected to help extend the battery life of this product.

According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will use the C1 modem on the iPhone 17 Air, which will help increase energy efficiency. The C1 modem was equipped by Apple on the iPhone 16e model and brought impressive energy efficiency.

According to the Wall Street Journal , the iPhone 17 Air will start at $900. This model is positioned as an equivalent and will replace the current iPhone Plus version.

"The iPhone 17 Air will offer an alternative for users who want a thinner phone and don't mind the trade-offs. Apple is betting on form factor and visual appeal," the WSJ page revealed.

Apple is expected to hold an event to introduce the iPhone 17 series on September 9. The company will start accepting pre-orders on September 12.

The first iPhone 17s are expected to be delivered to customers on September 19. Similar to previous years, some markets that will launch the iPhone 17 early will include the US, China, Japan,...

Alongside the iPhone 17, Apple is likely to announce a number of new products such as the Apple Watch SE 3, Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and AirPods Pro 3 wireless headphones.

A report from MacRumors said that Apple will increase the price of the entire iPhone 17 product line by $50. This move is to compensate for the continuously increasing component costs, as well as the impact of the new tariff policy between the US and China.
