According to reports, the iPhone 17 Air is set to be the thinnest iPhone with an estimated depth of only 5.5 mm. However, this svelteness will essentially come with a hit for battery life, however, and from a new report Information How serious it can be for power users.
According to site sources, 60% to 70% of the users will be able to go on the same day without recharging the super-spring model. While it seems like a decent return in the abstraction, for other models, it is somewhere between 80% and 90%.
In other words, if you struggle to get through the day on the same charge on your current iPhone, then the air is probably not for you. Anyway, not without investing in one of the best power banks.
But it seems that Apple plans to compete with power users: the return of an accessory that we have not seen in some time.
Return of battery case
“To solve this,” reports, “Apple is developing an alternative accessory – a phone case that is for a thin model, which also has a battery pack, according to three people familiar with the case.”
It looks like a smart battery case that Apple introduced with the iPhone 6s. It was closed with the introduction of iPhone 12 and Magsafe, which allowed the magnetic battery pack to follow the back of the phone for wireless charging.
Hopefully, this is not an early indication that the Apple iPhone 17 would take the Magsafe support from Air, as was done with the iPhone 16E. After all, it is definitely more understandable to resume the production of its official Magsafe Battery Pack for Apple, which can be used for all iPhones, instead for a battery case that only fits one.
iPhone 17 Air: It sounds like a bad business
While a case is an undoubtedly convenient way of adding additional capacity to a smartphone, it is especially a strange option for the iPhone 17 Air, as it is a handset designed to apply ahead of the substance.
It is not that we forget, the case of smart battery was a strange looking accessory, which unevenly provided its additional stamina by raising behind the compatible iPhones. This was certainly not aesthetically pleasing, as the picture above would remind you.
It may be that Apple has a more attractive design around this time, but if not, it seems that it will be a hard sale, even for the most loyal to the iPhone users.
The entire appeal of the iPhone 17 Air is ready for its light, stylish design. If it needs to be lost for electricity users to be good, then why won’t you buy a thick iPhone 17 model with a large battery to start?
This doubt may be reflected in Apple’s estimates. The information article states that only 10% of the iPhone 17 construction capacity is being reserved for the iPhone 17 Air, which suggests the company does not believe that this will be a fugitive success. In contrast, the report states that the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro 25% will be responsible for each, with the iPhone 17 Pro Max will take the remaining 40%.
We are still about five months away from the expected September launch of the iPhone 17, so there is a lot of time for Apple’s secondary plans before then.
