iPhone 17 Air battery capacity and weight leak

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

1. Remove headphone jack and SD reader
2. Remove charging brick
3. (perhaps) remove battery capacity
And still selling their products with unattractive price, saying cost increased.
Just like how tax increases a lot when income increase is small and the one who decides acts like it's justifiable.
How much longer do we let these clowns get away with this (just a voice from wilderness)

    "According to one conspiracy theory, Apple is purposely skimming on the battery to sell more battery cases. "
    Stop misusing term of "conspiracy theory"
    Just because the company does not admit doesn't mean they aren't doing it.
    Of course, most companies won't tell ya anything that affects their image negatively - which is NOT a conspiracy theory, but a fact.

          AbdulRahman , 18 May 2025Apple and Samsung are evolving backwards Don't drag Samsung into this nonsense. Samsung haven't released a 2,800mAh battery flagship in over a decade. This is indeed nonsense. Samsung's Edge is at least capable of a full day of heavy usage.

            Someone tell me what's the point of buying a 5.5mm phone to slap a battery case and end up with a 15mm phone. Just buy a 8.5mm phone with a thin case.

                Give at least 1 explanation where the super ultra mega giga cool Apple optimization of the mobile data clip is?
                What exactly haven't I answered you? I've written you a lot of reasons why iPhones have some seemingly better battery consumption, and you're just drooling. You haven't said a single thing that refutes my words.

If I counter one statement of yours you switch up the topic, which is why I‘ve not been answering any of what you said for the last 3 comments and instead made fun of the way you argued, which you probably didn’t even notice

                    Sorry I should have posted earlier.
                    I am over 18 and seen all types of scary stuff at the cinema.

                    This however was too much and can't be real can it. Am I still asleep and just woken up inside of a dream?

                    I don't comment on rumours as if they are fact, but if true look out for these new features... "Speaker Bump" and "USB port bump" however it should pass the drop test as everyone will be able to catch it before it hits ground 😜

                      Will this be the no charging port abomination ?
                      Or have they given up on that idea ?

                          Except that no one asked for this, like with the whole (incredibly dumb) curved display thing. No one is complaining about their phone being too thick or too heavy. I've heard people (usually small-handed men from India) complain about phones being too long and/or wide, but that's what smaller flagships are for. But LOTS of people complain about battery life and slow charging, and this is what you give them while people in China (and me) are using smartphones the size of an iPhone 16 Pro Max but with batterily capacities almost twice as large?

Why the "crushing" optimization is missing for mobile data? Apple, how is that possible? What's going on? Did this guy buy a fake 16PM from Temu or...? Tell me, please.
                              Still, Apple's optimization is on a different planet compared to others. But something doesn't seem to work on mobile data. Hmmm... The clip must be fake.

Now it gets very interesting because you will have to predict the future. And how that will play out, we can only wait and see. Maybe something about repairability, which I hope makes a comeback within that timeframe, like saying a thin phone will never be as repairable as a thick phone. And on-device AI-capabilities and ever more powerful processors needing bigger batteries. New security mechanisms against cyber attacks from quantum computers needing more processing power. Or that apple and Samsung would still be stuck with outdated AMOLED screens and Si/C batteries while the Chinese have QD-self-emissive screens and partially solid state batteries (both of which being more unstable/unreliable and having less mass production capacity because the first concept phone prototypes with those only came out 2 years ago in 2028).

                                    They might as well make a 3mm though phone that has no battery, just as useful.

                                      Where is the notorious Apple optimization here, for example? The phones are used all day on mobile data. Nearly an hour and a half less SоТ for Apple. What is happening? Why isn't it above other phones again?

                                        kdss, 18 May 2025Great, as I told you there are other hardware differences. ... moreBy the pattern this must be 2020 argumentation, but I‘m not sure. Was bringing up very small differences and acting as if they are the sole reason why one phone has longer battery life than another a thing in 2020? Possibly, considering all the debate there was around the Galaxy S21 daring to not have a 1440p display, or the Note 10 missing out on having I don’t even know what, probably something that was unnecessary anyway. So yeah it still fits. But your next comment has to be 2025 argumentation. So you will have to include Si/C batteries and periscope zoom cameras somehow.
