New iPhone 17 Air leak hints at how the super-slim phone might solve its potential battery life issues
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Silicon-batteries are arriving from TDK this year Apple is one of TDK's biggest customers The improved batteries could power the iPhone 17 Air We're expecting the iPhone 17 Air to replace the iPhone 16 Plus this year, and it's expected to be super-slim – which has raised some questions about battery life. Now a new leak suggests those questions could be answered using next-gen silicon battery technology. According to a report from Bloomberg, battery maker TDK is ahead of schedule with a significant upgrade, where silicon is used for the battery anode rather than the conventional graphite. This means 15% more energy can be packed into the same space. Shipping for these batteries will begin by the end of June, which may just give Apple enough time to incorporate the batteries into its iPhone 17 series – including the iPhone 17 Air, which will have less space for a battery than the other models in the range. Now we're being pretty speculative about joining up these particular dots, but we know that TDK supplies both Apple and Samsung. Samsung has of course just unveiled its own ultra-slim handset in the form of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. If the most recent leak is accurate, then the iPhone 17 Air is going to come with a battery capacity of 2,800 mAh. That's some way short of the 3,651 mAh battery you'll find in the current iPhone 16 model, for example. And previous rumors about the iPhone 17 Air battery life have contradicted each other. One recent report suggested that all-day battery life isn't guaranteed for the new phone, and that Apple might offer a battery case accessory for it. However, back in March, a well-placed source said that battery life would be comparable to current iPhone 16 models. Bear in mind that the device will still be in testing at this point, which may explain the conflicting accounts. We have previously heard that the iPhone 17 Air might use next-gen battery tech of some description, and that the upcoming iOS 19 is also going to deliver an AI-powered battery optimization tool that should boost battery life further.

iPhone 17 Air next to the 16 Plus leak makes it look like Apple deflated the phone
Apple is reportedly getting ready to ditch the Plus model from its iPhone lineup later this year – and in its place, bring in something totally new: the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air. And thanks to new images popping up online, we now have a side-by-side look at what's coming. Fresh photos shared on social media show a dummy unit of the iPhone 17 Air placed next to the current iPhone 16 Plus and the size difference is no joke. The 17 Air is rumored to be just 5.4mm thick, compared to the 7.8mm thickness of the 16 Plus. That might not sound like much on paper, but the visual difference is pretty striking when you see them together. But of course, going this thin doesn't come without trade-offs. To achieve that sleek profile, Apple is reportedly making some cuts. The iPhone 17 Air is said to feature only a single rear camera – probably a 48 MP sensor like the one found on the $599 iPhone 16e. It might also lose a second speaker and pack a much smaller battery. We are talking about a 2,800 mAh cell, which is way below even the Galaxy S25 Edge's already tiny 3,900 mAh battery. So yeah, while it will be super slim and lightweight, you are definitely giving up some functionality. That said, it's not all compromise. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to come with a 6.7-inch OLED display and – unlike the current Plus – it might finally bring ProMotion (aka Apple's 120Hz refresh rate) into the mix. The Plus model has struggled with sales ever since it was introduced alongside the iPhone 14, so it is not surprising Apple is trying something different. The company did the same thing with the iPhone mini when it didn't sell well either. But given how many compromises the 17 Air is rumored to have, it is hard not to wonder if it'll end up with the same fate. Still, we won't have to wait too long to find out. The full iPhone 17 lineup is expected to be announced this September. Pricing for the iPhone 17 Air is rumored to start around $899 – the same ballpark as the iPhone 16 Plus – but there is also talk that Apple might charge more just because, well…it's new and ultra-thin. Samsung did the same thing with its Galaxy S25 Edge, which is 5.8mm thick and priced $100 higher than the Galaxy S25 Plus, despite similar sacrifices in battery and camera. So yeah, if Apple follows that logic, don't be surprised if the iPhone 17 Air comes with a steeper price tag just for being the sleekest iPhone yet.

iPhone 17 Air gets compared to the iPhone 16 Plus it's replacing in newly leaked photos
The iPhone 17 Air, as you may already know, is rumored to be launching this September alongside the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, as an indirect successor of sorts to the iPhone 16 Plus. So, with that in mind, you may be wondering how it compares to the iPhone 16 Plus it's replacing in Apple's roster. And a new leak over on X delivers just that comparison in the images you can see below. Is iPhone 17 Air a good upgrade? — Majin Bu (@MajinBuOfficial) May 18, 2025 The Plus models have for years been the worst selling of the four mainline iPhone releases, and that's why Apple is replacing the iPhone 16 Plus with the iPhone 17 Air, obviously hoping that the thinness will drive more people to buy this model. The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to be just 5.5mm (or 5.65mm, depending on which rumor you listen to) thin, and it will allegedly have a ridiculously small 2,800 mAh battery to make up for that. That's much smaller than even the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge's already small 3,900 mAh cell. But worry not for Apple will sell you a battery case that will negate the entire extreme thinness selling point. The iPhone 17 Air will apparently weigh 145g, which is less than the Samsung's 163g, but the iPhone will also only have one camera on the rear vs. the S25 Edge's two. Apple iPhone 16 Plus
