iPhone 17 Air’s shockingly thin battery poses for the camera

04 August 2025
It's apparently half as thin as the iPhone 17 Pro's cell.

            I won't be surprised at the thickness if they indeed use Si-C. What surprises me still is the charging behavior of iPhone users in 2025. For what? The resale value after 2 years of use?

                  Exactly. However with a smaller battery there comes shorter battery life, which means it will have to be charged more often, thus creating more cycles and with that reducing battery health way faster.

                      whereas the 17 Air is rumored to bring a 6.9-inch display. Is not it should be 6.6inch display?

                            that level of camera bump on a single camera that too at the corner, the table wobble will be revolutionary just like everything apple does.

                                They're gonna throttle even harder and perhaps use a low res screen as well. Dont forget that iPhones are extremely reliant on lower refresh rates when scrolling to save battery life.

                                There's numerous tricks Apple will use and tech journalists (who dont/cant stress test outside of benchmarks) will say Apple has started a revolution. Just you wait. I've been in the tech space for less than a decade and i've already started to see several recurring patterns and cycles

                                  Dweebs here keep whining about the low capacity of this battery but what I want to know is how thick 3000mah batteries were previously. If an OEM can make a battery with similar level of slimness and keep the capacity at 5000 then that would be interesting.

                                  Low capacity sucks but maybe it's time to start focusing on reducing physical size of batteries while retaining a decent capacity.
