The “iPhone 17 Air” is set to be Apple’s thinnest iPhone yet, with a reported thickness of approximately 5.5 mm. However, its slim design comes with trade-offs, including a single camera instead of the triple-camera system found on Pro models. Battery life is also compromised due to a thinner battery, with leaks indicating a 2800mAh capacity compared to the 3500mAh in the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to feature a larger 5000mAh battery.

Those battery capacity reports gained further credence in the last few days as we have seen what are claimed to be the first photos of the actual batteries used.
Leaker Majin Bu shared several photos of the battery on Friday, and Chinese blogger Yeux1122 has this morning showed a side-on photo of the battery next to that of the iPhone 17 Pro.
Are you willing to sacrifice cameras and battery life to get the coolest-looking iPhone ever offered?

MacDailyNews Take: Depending on the specs and battery life rating, the “iPhone 17 Air” could be quite tempting, but we still cannot imagine sacrificing our iPhone Pro cameras for the sake of thinness.
