Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 17 Air model next month with an ultra-thin design, expected to replace the current iPhone Plus line.
While the slightly thin appearance is a clear highlight, some recent leaks have made the technology world worried, especially about the battery capacity of the device.
A new leak from Majin Bu user on the X platform (formerly Twitter) has revealed the L-shaped battery cluster of the iPhone 17 Air.
The image shows that the device has a metal battery case, similar to the iPhone 16 Pro model, helping to support effective heat generation.
However, with a thickness of only about 5.5mm, the device's battery is likely to only reach a capacity of 2,900mAh, lower than most current iPhone models.
This means that the iPhone 17 Air could be the phone with the shortest battery life in the 2025 iPhone series.
To compensate, Apple is expected to launch a back cover with a semi-divided battery, allowing users to extend their usage time.
In addition, the iOS 26 operating system that comes with it will also support the new membership Upgrade Power mode, which helps reduce background activities and optimize battery performance.
In addition to the controversial battery factor, the iPhone 17 Air still promises many bright spots. According to rumors, the device will be equipped with a new powerful A19 chip, 12GB RAM, along with a 48MP rear camera and a 24MP front camera.
A 6.5-inch OLED screen with a scanning frequency of 120Hz is also expected to be on the device. Other high-end features such as MagSafe charger, camera control button and action button will also be available even though the device has an ultra-thin design.
Although there are many unofficial confirmations, the iPhone 17 Air is attracting attention when it brings a combination of trendy design and modern performance.
However, with modest battery capacity, Apple may need to convince users with support features that are strong enough to compensate.
