If iPhone 17 is 6.7" in size, and thickness is between 5-6mm, in reference to iPhone 16 Plus is also 6.7", 70% thickness of 16P (7.8mm) is 5.46mm. Take the 70% to 16 plus battery size (4674mah) is 3272mah, give or take it would almost certain will be less than 3500mah. With the anticipated price tag at $999, that's quite a disappointment for new phone in 2025. It is hardware throttled to fully unleash its processing power on what is capable of.

The only way this whole slim form factor will possibly succeed is if they combined it with the use of silicone carbon battery technology to compensate for the limited space for said battery. Otherwise, it's just one big compromise.
This is why I switched to the OnePlus 13 this year after going Samsung for four years straight. Personally, I don't care if the phone is slim or not, only that it lasts on a single charge.

Phones are already slim. These phones are useless.

Please check Samsung A8 from 2015 specifications regarding slimness (5.9 mm).
Was an excellent phone at that time.
Why to be impressed with both of this 10 years later?

What is not a rumor is Samsung's prototype solid state batteries for use in wearables that will be commercialized next year. I believe that is ultimately where they are transitioning.
I'm not a scientist, but I don't see what's to prevent them from using SSBs in mobiles except whatever time they need to complete quality control.

I really don't understand the point of these devices. I would rather get a side mounted fingerprint sensor, extra camera, more battery or literally anything over making the phone slimmer. Better yet just put telephoto cameras on the base models instead of making the phones slimmer. I don't even care if they take away the ultrawides. I pinky promise.

So these aren't going to sell well, and then they will conclude that the market doesn't want slim phones. Why they even bother

This slimness discussion is pointless.
The thickest phone area is the camera bump/island/module, and vast majority of people protect their phone with cases anyway - only in that way is the back flush and the phone doesn't wobble. All this thinness is lost anyway. I would much rather have a flush, slightly more bulky back, with more internal space for 6000-7000 mAh battery, and a phone in a slim case.
The end result could be the same phone-in-case volume with better battery life.
As it is, it's a wasted space the cases fill anyway.

Its actually easy to re-label 3rd party SiCa battery just like many other chinese brand that use 3rd party parts for their phone.
