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.

iPhone 17 Air vs iPhone 16 Plus: Why Apple might replace the Plus
iPhone 17 Air vs iPhone 16 Plus: Why Apple might replace the Plus By Divya Bhati There is a high chance that this year Apple might replace the Plus model with the slimmer and more refined iPhone 17 Air in its iPhone 17 series. Photo: AppleHub/X According to rumours, Apple has been facing numerous challenges with the sales of the iPhone Plus models, and is therefore finally planning to remove the model altogether. While the 16 Plus focused on a larger screen and battery, the new 17 Air is said to prioritise sleekness, portability, and cutting-edge design. The iPhone 17 Air is rumoured to feature a 5.5 mm thin design, and could become Apple's thinnest iPhone ever. Photo: iDeviceHelp/YouTube It is also said to weigh around 145 grams, targeting users who prefer portability over screen size. On the front, the iPhone 17 Air could feature a 6.6-inch screen and a 120Hz ProMotion display. Apple is also expected to introduce a new chip for the upcoming iPhones, and the iPhone 17 Air is likely to receive the A19 chip along with 8GB of RAM. However, to achieve the slimmer profile, there could be some compromises; the iPhone 17 Air is rumoured to use a single rear camera with Fusion technology, offering optical-quality zoom. The phone could also come with a smaller battery reportedly featuring a smaller 2,800mAh cell. As for the price, the iPhone 17 Air is rumored to arrive at the price point of iPhone 16 Plus somewhere around Rs 89,900 - Rs 99,900 in India. Photo: Majin Bu
