8 reasons I’m not worried about iPhone 17 Air battery life
I've been thinking about the iPhone 17 Air ever since I first saw rumors claiming that Apple would replace the Plus with an ultra-thin iPhone 17 model. I was already prepared to go non-Pro when it comes to new iPhones, and my two-month stint with the iPhone 16 Plus proved that I can use a non-Pro iPhone as my daily driver. Apple's rumored iPhone 17 Air isn't confirmed, but multiple reliable sources have said that it's in the works. Apple is also reportedly struggling with some of the tech involved with making a phone that's between 5mm and 6mm thin.
The battery is one of them, with a report saying that Apple engineers are "finding it hard to fit the battery and thermal materials into the device." The implication here is that iPhone 17 Air battery life might have to suffer in order for Apple to pull off its new ultra-thin design.
I was already prepared to accept a battery compromise for the iPhone 17 Air. I don't need the phone to last as long as the iPhone 16 Plus and 16 Pro Max. But I'm not worried about battery life, as I have several reasons to support my thinking.
