iPhone 17 Air battery capacity and weight leak

18 May 2025
The battery capacity doesn't sound too promising.

I wondered why they named it Air, but apparently it's because it will have to consume energy from the air...

    * That is if you don't turn on the device, so please don't use it and it's best to just leave it in the box un-opened to preserve it and sell it once it's rare enough.

      2800 mAh is, for lack of better words: Ridiculously small. The battery capacity is next to nothing. At this point Apple should market this as "All-day battery drain" This is not lasting more than 12 hours and if the battery degrades then you might as well keep it in the charger.

          Dlss battery

            If only we'd have a battery technology which would allow to have a bigger capacity in a smaller footprint..oh wait, we do have!! So why not use it?
            Honor can use it in a midrange phone, but Apple can't in a higher tier one? 😍

                Yeah I don’t care about the capacity, 145g is perfect and exactly how much a smartphone should weigh period. But it would have been easier to achieve a good battery endurance by using a smaller display, which would mean a smaller but thicker phone, which would have also allowed space for the second ultrawide camera. And at that point it would have been an IPhone mini which is what would be needed.

                    Iphone X has similar battery size and that phone with less powerful chip when it was new has problem to go 8-10h on one charge with mixed usage... Now imagine this one how it will go. Battery will have 800 cycles in just 10-12 months, and we all know that iphone batteries are bad and can't go over 800 cycles to go to or under 80% health...

                      If that new battery-saving feature actually does improve SOT significantly, only then may I really like this phone.

                        Yordan, 4 hours ago2,800 mAh 🤣 Oh boy, watching Apple fanboys defend this is ... moreYou should see how Samsung fans defend the Korean Edge misunderstanding... It was "garbage, but less garbage than the Apple Air". 🤣🤣
                        The competition between the fans of the two companies has reached a new... low.

                          2,800 mAh 🤣
                          Oh boy, watching Apple fanboys defend this is gonna be a laugh.

                            You know what phone also had a 2800 mAh battery? Hint: soli

                              Completely useless device, this thing will barely hold a charge as it will be overpowered for how small of a battery it will have. The EU should rule this and the Edge out of the market due to insufficient battery sizes that won't be good enough for long-term usage.

                                Those Chinese foldable would probably beat this in a battery life competition along with the S25 Edge

                                  This capacity will be for the first 6 months. After that, it drops to 1800 mAh and to use the full capacity, you will have to pay a monthly fee.
                                  Air and Edge are a pure and simple waste of resources.

                                      Wow, the profiteering here is ridiculous. Con people into buying phones with small batteries and then sell them battery cases that increase the size and weight back to where they started. Wonder if Samsung will do the same.
