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

iPhone 17 Air Launch In September: Design, Specs And Price Expected
iPhone 17 Air launch is widely awaited and we are not too far away from the big Apple iPhone launch event. iPhone 17 series launch is widely expected in September and some reports have even suggested that Apple could unveil the new models on September 9 this year. The new lineup could have some interesting alterations, especially with focus on the rumoured iPhone 17 Air variant which might be similar to the Galaxy S25 Edge model from Samsung, focusing on a sleek design with premium finish. But this is Apple, and going by the noise around the iPhone 17 Air launch and its supposed features, the company could be putting a big bet on its premium badge at the back of this model. With the iPhone 17 launch not that far away, here's a detailed look at the iPhone 17 Air model and what it promises to bring to the market. iPhone 17 Air Design The rumoured iPhone 17 Air is tipped to feature a slim design, which has become an unknown entity in the company's phone lineup these days. Apple could upstage these figures with the iPhone 17 Air and go for a 5.5mm frame with a device weighing under 150 grams. Reports say the slim or Air iPhone model will feature only a single camera at the back and front, and its biggest highlight is likely to be the aluminium slim design. The recent leaked images of the iPhone 17 Air model alongside the iPhone 16 Pro shows the difference in their size and these cutbacks should make it easy for Apple to pull through with the sleek design. The 17 Air version is heavily tipped to replace the Plus variant this year. It is expected to carry a 6.7-inch display which gives the right dimensions. The company should offer it with the latest A19 Pro chipset with 12GB RAM which makes it compatible with Apple AI features and Siri AI when it releases next year. For imaging, the iPhone 17 Air is tipped to come with a single rear camera and carry a really small battery pack. It seems the company is aware about the battery limitations, which is why it could bring a battery pack for this specific model, which means more money into its coffers. Accessories have become a big part of Apple's business and this battery pack could be the icing on a costly cake. iPhone 17 Air Price With all these changes, a sleek body and aluminium finish, Apple is unlikely to go easy with the iPhone 17 Air price when it launches. Going by the market trends, we expect the new model to cost around Rs 1,20,999 for the base variant which puts it below the Pro models but slightly higher than the regular version. view comments First Published: July 23, 2025, 07:30 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
