With Apple's iPhone 17 event expected next month, a new leak suggests the company will sacrifice battery capacity to achieve the iPhone 17 Air's ultra-slim design. Leaker Majin Bu shared images of the 17 Air's battery on X. At 2.49mm thick, it appears noticeably slimmer when placed next to the iPhone 17 Pro's battery. The image aligns with earlier reports suggesting a battery below 3,000mAh for the iPhone 17 Air. Leaker Yeux1122 puts it at 2,800 mAh, while Bu reports it could be 2,900 mAh. The last time iPhones had such low-capacity batteries was the iPhone 13 and iPhone 12. The big question now is whether this would be enough to make the 17 Air last a day on a single full charge. So far, the unverified reports on that are mixed. To stay updated on the latest, check out our iPhone 17 rumors roundup on PCMag. #iphone17 #iphone17air #apple #techleaks #technews
