iPhone 17 Air Design Could Force Apple To Bring Back This Useful Product: Know More
The iPhone 17 Air is most likely to debut later this year with the rest of the iPhone 17 series models. Apple is betting on quite a few changes to bring its thinnest iPhone ever this year. And the slim frame of the iPhone 17 Air means the company will have to make some tough choices.
Going by the thin iPhone is going to have a direct impact on the battery size inside the model, which seems to be forcing the company to bring back a useful product to the market later this year.
iPhone 17 Air Battery Issue: How Apple Plans To Solve It
Reports say the 5.5mm design of the iPhone 17 Air will take a hit on the battery size, which is expected to be around 4,000mAh. Most users might find it tough to make it run for a whole day on a single charge, so Apple plans to bring an external battery case which promises to help with the deficiencies of the model.
The details come via The Information this month, which also suggests Apple is not sure about the demand for the 17 Air model, which is why the production of these battery cases will be based on the pre-orders or maybe the overall market sentiments after it launches the phone.
The company’s internal tests have also shown some limitations with the iPhone 17 Air battery life, which may have prompted this big decision from Apple.
Having said that, this is not the first time when Apple is bringing battery cases for iPhones, but it was last done for the iPhone 11 series, which got later upgraded to the MagSafe packs for the iPhone 12 models.
The iPhone 17 Air is also going to take a hit on the number of cameras, which could be limited to just one sensor, along with a single speaker, and yes, there is a big chance that the model will not have any physical SIM slot, relying on eSIM for network.
While we wait for the iPhone 17 Air to release, Samsung could have the upper hand in the battle of the slim, with the Galaxy S25 Edge model heavily tipped to be announced in the next few weeks.
