Sad news for iFans waiting for iPhone 17 Air

Although not yet launched, information about the iPhone 17 Air has been continuously leaked, providing a clearer look at Apple's super-thin iPhone model.

It is expected that Apple will launch the iPhone 17 Air along with new iPhone models such as the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max next September, following the company's annual tradition.

The iPhone 17 Air is expected to replace the iPhone 17 Plus in the new product line with a series of valuable upgrades, the most notable of which is the ultra-thin design.

Naver news site quoted an inside source from Apple saying that the iPhone 17 Air will be only 5.5mm thin and weigh 145g. This will make it Apple's thinnest iPhone ever and surpass the Galaxy S25 Edge, the super-thin smartphone just launched by Samsung, with a thickness of only 5.8mm.

Despite its ultra-thin and light design, the iPhone 17 Air disappoints with its modest battery capacity of only 2,800mAh, much lower than the 3,900mAh battery on the Galaxy S25 Edge.

If the information posted by Naver is correct, the battery capacity on the iPhone 17 Air is only equivalent to the battery on the iPhone 12 launched by Apple 5 years ago.

Previously, The Information also quoted a source close to Apple saying that the battery on the iPhone 17 Air can only last about half a day of use.

This is the biggest obstacle for the iPhone 17 Air to compete with other competitors. Some sources say Apple plans to use artificial intelligence to extend battery life on the upcoming iPhone 17 generation.

Accordingly, the AI ​​feature will be integrated into the iOS platform and trained based on user usage habits to optimize applications on the device.

Of course, software optimization to extend battery life is not as highly appreciated by users as equipping a large capacity battery, because this can reduce the device's performance to increase battery life.

However, these leaked information are just predictions and have not been confirmed by Apple. Users can wait until the launch date to see what valuable points the iPhone 17 Air has besides its super-thin design.
