iPhone 17 Air's biggest weakness may be its battery, here's how
Apple is expected to launch a new slimmer Air model with the iPhone 17 lineup in September. The recent leaks for this model suggest that the ultra-thin design may come with battery compromises. The latest rumour claims that the iPhone 17 Air's battery capacity may not exceed 3000mAh. Earlier this year, a leaker named yeux1122 initially claimed the iPhone 17 Air's battery would be 2800mAh. A figure which is lower than some expectations. Now, this battery capacity range seems to be corroborated by another tipster named Instant Digital. The leaker recently took to Chinese social media site Weibo to claim that the battery of iPhone 17 Air may 'not exceed 3000mAh.' It's important to note that even if the battery capacity reaches closer to 3000mAh, it would still be considerably less than what the rest of the iPhone 17 lineup is expected to offer. How iPhone Air 17's battery may compare to existing and upcoming models To compare, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is rumoured to feature a battery capacity of around 5000mAh. Last year's iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro had batteries closer to 3500mAh; however, the iPhone 17 Air will need more power to support its larger display. Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Plus packs a bigger 4,674mAh battery. How Apple may solve the potential battery 'problem' in iPhone 17 Air by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like You Won't Believe the Price of These Dubai Apartments Binghatti Developers FZE Get Offer Undo To address potential battery concerns, Apple seems to have a couple of tricks up its sleeve for the iPhone 17 Air. Firstly, iOS 26 is introducing a new Adaptive Power mode, which is aimed at extending battery life. Secondly, Apple is said to be working on a new battery case accessory for users who want extra backup. Still, for many considering the iPhone 17 Air, battery life could remain a major concern if the rumours are to be true. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to debut in four colours, including a light Lavender, a soft Desert Titanium, and a standout Space Black variant. It may be the first non-Pro iPhone to feature a 120Hz display, though without variable refresh rate to save battery. The slimmer iPhone may be powered by the A19 chip and run iOS 26 out-of-the-box.

New iPhone 17 Air leak highlights trade-off between slimness and battery life
NEW YORK, July 19: Apple is expected to launch the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air this fall, introducing a radically slim design to its flagship lineup. However, new reports suggest that the sleek form factor may come at a cost — particularly when it comes to battery capacity. According to recent leaks, the iPhone 17 Air will feature a battery capacity that does not exceed 3,000mAh. One leaker, known as yeux1122, initially claimed in May that the device would be equipped with a 2,800mAh battery. That estimate now appears to be supported by a new post on Weibo from the leaker Instant Digital, who reiterated that the battery will remain under the 3,000mAh mark. If accurate, the iPhone 17 Air's battery would fall significantly below that of its counterparts in the iPhone 17 series. The iPhone 17 Pro Max, for example, is rumored to include a 5,000mAh battery. Even last year's iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro offered capacities around 3,500mAh. Compounding concerns is the iPhone 17 Air's larger display, which could demand more power compared to previous base models. By comparison, the iPhone 16 Plus featured a 4,674mAh battery, offering a benchmark for what larger-screen devices can deliver in terms of endurance. Despite these limitations, Apple appears to be taking steps to address potential battery life concerns. The upcoming iOS 26 will reportedly include a new Adaptive Power Mode, designed to optimize energy consumption. In addition, Apple is said to be developing a new battery case accessory to extend usage time for power users. Still, for many consumers, battery life may be a deciding factor — especially as competitors continue to offer larger capacities in similarly sized devices. The iPhone 17 Air is poised to appeal to users who prioritize portability and design. However, whether its reduced battery capacity becomes a dealbreaker remains to be seen.

iPhone 17 Colors: A Surprising Hue Could Be Coming for Pro Models
The rumored iPhone 17 color lineup includes a shocking twist for the iPhone 17 Pro models. Last week, a Korean blogger named yeux1122 published two images of camera covers that could be the full lineup from iPhone 17 base model and the rumored iPhone 17 Air, and leaker Majin Bu posted that the rumored Sky Blue color would be scrapped for the Pro models. And now, another leaker has posted this week the possible color lineup for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. We'll get to the surprise in that photo below. We've already heard plenty of rumors that the iPhone 17 base model could come in purple, green and blue. Two to three other familiar colors are now said to be included in the options -- totaling five (or maybe six) possibilities for the base model. The rumored iPhone 17 Air could come in four, while the Pro and Pro Max are expected to have five. The rumored iPhone 17 is likely to drop in September. As the month draws closer, we're hearing plenty of rumors and leaks, but we're still playing the guessing game. Here's what we're hearing about possible iPhone 17 colors. I'm Impressed With iOS 26.

Apple Just Made iPhones Better The rumored full color lineup Here's the full lineup for the rumored iPhone 17 base and Air models, according to Sonny Dickson, a consumer tech reviewer, who shared an image on X on Monday: The iPhone 17 base model could come in these colors: Black Gray Silver Light blue Light green Light purple The iPhone 17 Air could be released in these colors: Black Blue gray Light gold Silver The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max could come in these colors: Black Gray Silver Dark blue Orange Yeux1122 has a similar lineup in their post, but the base options don't include gray. Black and silver aren't surprising since we've seen both neutral colors in earlier iPhone models and generations. However, if you use a colored phone cover instead, like I do, this possibility could be welcome. The iPhone color I didn't see coming Purple, blue and green are all part of the same color palette. The neutral colors don't quite surprise me since they're standard for iPhones at this point. But the color orange is shocking. Dickson expects that the color will only be for the Pro and Pro Max models. Dickson also noted the orange shade may end up being a dark gold or copper. Sky blue could be old to Apple, but a new iPhone hue Here is the MacBook Air M4 in sky blue, the same color that the iPhone 17 Pro might come in. Josh Goldman/CNET The early rumored color for the iPhone 17 was sky blue. Well-known leaker Majin Bu posted the rumor of the new color on their blog, calling it "a refined, bright, and modern shade." But why sky blue? Perhaps because the latest M4 MacBook Air currently comes in sky blue, an iPhone in the same color could be an aesthetic win for sky blue MacBook owners. Bu initially wrote that the sky blue color could be for the iPhone 17 Pro, but recently scrapped that rumor to say sky blue would be for the iPhone 17 Air. It seems like there's a possibility for different shades of blue, as we see in the lineup above. Rumor has it that there could be a blue option for the iPhone 17 base model and a dark blue for the iPhone 17 Pro. But based on Bu's post, there's a possibility of the iPhone 17 Air getting a sky blue hue. We'll have to wait and see which -- if any -- blues will be available for iPhone 17. The possibility of purple Bu posted on X and their blog on June 20 that Apple is testing purple and green, but that purple could be another new color for the iPhone 17's base models. Bu said that purple could meet Apple's rumored demand for more personalization while blending into Apple's ecosystem for its other products. If green is added to the iPhone 17 lineup, Bu says it could be a "fresh and natural tone, ideal for a minimalist yet striking aesthetic." Yeux1122 and Dickinson included both purple and green in their rumored lineups this month. Could an aluminum iPhone design bring more colors? Here is the iPhone 16 (left), 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. James Martin/CNET The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max have a titanium frame, but analyst Jeff Pu predicted that the iPhone 17 could usher in the return of the aluminum frame for both the Pro and baseline models, as we've seen with earlier versions like the iPhone 14 lineup. Considering the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max's colors are based on titanium, it raises the question: Will an aluminum frame mean new colors? The one phone in the iPhone 17 lineup that could have a titanium frame is the rumored slimmer iPhone 17 Air, according to Pu. We'll have to wait and see what Apple decides. Read more: WWDC Bored Me. I Need Apple's iPhone 17 Launch to Make a Splash A look at past iPhone colors Here is an iPhone 14 Pro in deep purple. Andrew Lanxon/CNET Apple likes to release both new and familiar colors for every new iPhone release. Usually, we see more color variations for the basic models, and more neutral colors for the Pro and Pro Max iPhone models. For instance: The iPhone 14 came in six colors: midnight, starlight, red, blue, purple and yellow. However, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models only came in black, silver gold and deep purple. The same is true for the 15 model phones, but Apple offered one fewer color for its base model. iPhone 15 models were available in pink, yellow, green, blue and black, while Pro and Pro Max models arrived in more neutral tones like white, blue, black and natural titanium. The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max colors didn't change from the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. However, the other iPhone 16 models were available in ultramarine, teal, pink, white and black. How many new colors we may see from the rumored iPhone 17 is still unclear, but as of now, a sky blue option could well be in your future.
