Apple to bring back battery case for iPhone 17 Air
Briefly

Apple is set to launch the iPhone 17 Air this fall with a slim design of only 5.65mm. However, this small profile comes with potential drawbacks, particularly regarding battery capacity, estimated to be between 3,000 and 4,000mAh. To address concerns about battery life, Apple is reportedly bringing back the Smart Battery Case. In internal tests, only 60-70% of users might achieve a full day of use without recharging, contrasting with higher figures for other models. Production is limited due to uncertain demand, and key features include a single rear camera and no SIM slot.
Apple's new iPhone 17 Air, launching this fall, will return to a slim design, but battery capacity may be limited, leading to the revival of the Smart Battery Case.
The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be 5.65mm thick with a battery capacity in the 3,000 - 4,000mAh range, raising concerns about its daily usability.
Internal tests suggest that only 60-70% of users will manage a full day's use without a charge, compared to 80-90% for other iPhone 17 models.
With production capacity limited to 10% for the iPhone 17 Air due to demand uncertainties, the device will also feature a single rear camera and no SIM card slot.
