- Apple can launch a battery case with iPhone 17 -air
- The life of the battery all day is not guaranteed for the new model
- The phone could also lose a speaker and only be eSim
The rumors of an iPhone 17 air have swirled for months at this time, but we just got some fresh information about this super-slim phone set to replace the iPhone 16 Plus-Inclusive the potential return on a retired Apple accessory.
According to a new report in the Information (VIA 9TO5MAC), Apple plans to release an optional accessory at the same time as the iPhone 17 Air: A Case with an integrated battery pack. This is apparently to compensate for deficit in the life of the battery on the iPhone 17 Air.
You remember Apple Back Today, Apple made a smart battery case for its iPhones. When Magsafe and its wireless charging were introduced with the iPhone 12, the battery’s case was disconnected.
Now it looks like it might come back. Sources that speak to the information say that the thinness of the iPhone 17 air means it only lasts one day without a charge for 60-70% of the users-Mens for other models is more like 80-90%.
eSims and speakers
However, battery life is not the only concern about the iPhone 17 air. The report in the information also suggests that there is no room for a physical sim, so it will be eSIM all the way – which can cause problems with regulators in China.
In addition, there will only be room for a speaker on the device, which can affect the sound quality. We have heard both of these rumors in the past, about eSim and speeches, and we are more likely to believe them now, they have been repeated.
It’s destined to be for a whole year for the Apple iPhone. We have already had a new model in the form of the Apple iPhone 16E, and later in the year with the air we get a new model that doesn’t really have a direct predecessor.
The same report from the information suggests that there may be even more changes coming next year with Apple planning to divide the launches of the iPhone 18 models to launch at different times during the 2026 and 2027.
