iPhone 17 Air Leak Alleges 5.5mm Thickness, 2800mAh Battery

Battery specifications for the rumored iPhone 17 Air, along with its potential weight and thickness, have allegedly been leaked by yeux1122 on Naver. As we've previously reported, Apple is targeting a remarkably slim and lightweight design for this upcoming model.According to the leak, which yeux1122 notes is from a Taiwanese parts supplier and is pending further reliability confirmation, the iPhone 17 Air is purported to measure just 5.5mm thick. This aligns with previous predictions from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who also suggested an ultra-thin 5.5mm design for the device (excluding its camera bar). Hands-on videos with alleged iPhone 17 Air dummy units have also highlighted a strikingly thin build, with some mockups showing a thickness around 5.65mm.The leak further claims the iPhone 17 Air will weigh around 145 grams. For its battery, a capacity of 2800 mAh is mentioned. Interestingly, yeux1122 adds a note that the device might utilize high-density battery cells, which could potentially increase the actual capacity by 15% to 20% over a standard 2800 mAh cell of the same physical size. This aligns with recent developments from major Apple supplier TDK Corp., which announced it is accelerating shipments of its new silicon-anode batteries. These cells can reportedly pack about 15% more energy into the same volume and are designed for slimmer smartphones, with TDK planning to ship them by the end of June. This advancement could be particularly relevant for the iPhone 17 Air, given earlier reports that its thinness might lead to shorter battery life, prompting Apple to develop a dedicated battery case for the model.Continue ReadingShare Article:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, EmailFollow iClarified:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube
