The competition to create the thinnest flagship smartphone is heating up. Samsung has already set the bar high with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, measuring just 5.8mm in thickness. Now, all eyes are on Apple iPhone 17 Air. Reports claim it could be a mere 5.5mm thick and tip the scales at approximately 145 grams. Thus, potentially making it the lightest and thinnest iPhone to date. While the sleek design has generated excitement, the battery of iPhone 17 Air is now taking center stage in ongoing leaks and speculation. So, read ahead for more details on this.
Apple iPhone 17 Air Battery Details
Rumors suggest the iPhone 17 Air could come equipped with a 2,800mAh battery — a surprisingly modest capacity for a device expected to feature a large 6.6-inch display and premium hardware.

However, Apple may be turning to next-gen high-density battery technology to bridge the gap. Despite the smaller capacity on paper, this new tech could deliver significantly more real-world endurance, potentially boosting battery performance by 15 to 20 percent. Renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously hinted that the 2025 iPhones would introduce enhanced battery innovations, and it looks like the iPhone 17 Air could be among the first to debut this advancement.
