Ahead of Apple's iPhone 17 launch this September, a user named Instant Digital on the Chinese social platform Weibo has leaked some details about the upcoming device.
The leak suggests that the iPhone 17 Pro Max may feature a battery of around 5,000mAh capacity, surpassing the current largest iPhone battery of 4,676mAh, in the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
According to 9to5Mac, this could represent close to a 10% increase in battery capacity. 'It's important to note, however, that a battery's capacity doesn't have a 1:1 correlation with battery life improvements,' the publication emphasised.

This model is expected to be slimmer, about 5.5 mm thick, and lighter, possibly with a single rear camera. Per media reports, prices for the iPhone 17 series could start at Rs 89,900 for the base model, with the Air priced around Rs 95,000, and the Pro Max potentially reaching Rs 1,64,900.In May, a similar leak had gone viral, revealing features of the Google Pixel 10, after an ad was shot on a public beach in Vancouver, Canada. The now-deleted tweet was posted by X user @MarksGonePublic.Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 17 lineup in September 2025, sticking to its annual upgrade cycle.

Apple iPhone 17 Air battery leaks: Check out the expected specifications, price, launch date, and more

iPhone 17 Air battery leaks: iPhone 17 Air battery leak has sparked renewed debate as fresh reports suggest the ultra‑slim model may sacrifice battery capacity for design, clocking in at a mere 2,800 mAh compared to its Pro siblings. Apple's 'Air-first' strategy echoes in its featherweight, 5.5 mm body, reminiscent of the MacBook Air's mantra: lighter is better. While early adopters may applaud the sleekness, reviewers caution that the trade‑off could be shorter screen‑on time unless iOS 26 optimisation steps in. As a potential battery‑case accessory stirs speculation, the question looms: Can elegance coexist with endurance? Stay tuned as we explore how iPhone balances minimalism with practical performance in its boldest iPhone to date. iPhone 17 Air launch date in India (Expected) The iPhone 17 Air and the other phones in the series will launch globally and in India on September 8 or September 9, 2025, according to well-known Apple expert Mark Gurman. iPhone 17 Air battery leaked According to a MacRumors rumor, the iPhone 17 Air might have a battery with a capacity of less than 3,000 mAh. According to certain rumors, a 2,800mAh battery might be included in the next lightweight smartphone. That is a lot less than the 4,674mAh battery in the iPhone 16 Plus, which the Air is supposed to replace, if this is accurate. The iPhone 17 Air's reduced battery may be due to a number of factors. According to reports, the iPhone 17 Air is only 5.5 mm thick, which means there isn't much space for a bigger battery. Additionally, it has been alleged that Apple is using iOS 26's Adaptive Power Mode to extend battery life during the day. Compared to 80–90% for other models, internal testing indicates that only 60–70% of users will be able to use the device for the entire day without needing to recharge. Additionally, rumors have it that Apple is working on a specific battery cover for the iPhone 17 Air. The add-on would prolong battery life while preserving the device's elegant design. iPhone 17 Air specifications in India (Expected) Apple will provide a thin chassis for this device, starting with the design. According to rumors, it will surpass the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge as the thinnest smartphone. Aside from that, it will sport a single-sensor camera island at the rear that resembles the Google Pixel. Additionally, according to leaks, the device would have a titanium frame. A 6.9-inch LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz may be included with the iPhone 17 Air. In the base model, the tablet will be powered by an Apple A19 CPU with 128GB of internal storage and 8GB of RAM. The gadget will have a single 48MP rear camera that can capture some of the best images in a variety of lighting scenarios. Additionally, Apple plans to replace the 12MP selfie camera seen in the iPhone 16 series with a 24MP one throughout the iPhone 17 series. iPhone 17 Air price in India (Expected) In addition, the device's likely price in the Indian market will be around Rs 99,900. On the other hand, there is no formal confirmation of the price.

"This shift has taken India away from cash and card-based payments and pushed it towards a digital-first economy. Millions of individuals and small businesses now rely on UPI for safe and low-cost transactions. By making payments quick and accessible, UPI has become a powerful tool for financial inclusion ," Press Information Bureau (PIB) said in its backgrounders series on Sunday. Live Events The scale of UPI today is remarkable. In June alone, it handled over Rs 24.03 lakh crore in payments. This was spread across 18.39 billion transactions. Compared to the same month last year, when there were 13.88 billion transactions, the growth is clear. There is an increase of about 32 per cent in just one year. The UPI system now serves 491 million individuals and 65 million merchants.

"These figures show more than just numbers. They reflect trust, convenience and speed. Every month, more individuals and businesses choose UPI for their payments. This growing use is a strong sign that India is moving steadily towards a cashless economy," the PIB report read. The success story does not stop at home. UPI is making its presence felt across borders. It is already live in seven countries, including the UAE, Singapore, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, France, and Mauritius. Its entry into France is a milestone because it is UPI's first step into Europe. This allows Indians travelling or living there to pay seamlessly without the usual hassles of foreign transactions.

UPI's rise as the world's leading real-time payment system was not an accident. It is the result of years of planning and investment in digital infrastructure. Financial inclusion was the first big step. The Jan Dhan scheme opened bank accounts for millions who had never used formal banking before. As of July 9, over 55.83 crore accounts have been created. These accounts give people direct access to government benefits and a safe place to save money.
