- Apple can launch a battery box with the iPhone 17 Air
- The battery life of the whole day is not guaranteed for the new model
- The phone could also lose a speaker and just be Esim
The rumors of an iPhone 17 air have been spinning for months at this time, but we have just obtained new information about this super thin phone, which is ready to replace the 16 Plus iPhone, including the possible return of an Apple retired accessory.
According to a new report in the information (through 9to5Mac), Apple plans to launch an optional accessory at the same time as the iPhone 17 Air: a box with an integrated battery pack. Apparently, this must compensate for the deficit in the battery life of the iPhone 17 Air.
You can remember that in the past, Apple made an smart battery box for its iPhones. However, as Magsafe and its wireless load with the iPhone 12 was introduced, the battery box was suspended.
Now, it seems that I could return. The sources that talk about information say that the thinness of the iPhone 17 air means that it only lasts one day without a recharge for 60-70% of users, while for other models, it is more like 80-90%.
Esits and speakers
However, the battery life is not the only concern in the air of the iPhone 17. The report in the information also suggests that there is no space for a physical symptoms, so it will be ESIM until the end, which can cause problems with regulators in China.
In addition, there will only be space for a speaker on the device, which can affect sound quality. Previously we have heard both rumors, around ESIM and the speaker, and we have leaned more to believe them now that they have been repeated.
It is ready to be a year for Apple’s iPhone. We have already had a new model in the shape of the Apple iPhone 16E, and later in the year with the air we will obtain another new model that really does not have a direct predecessor.
The same information report suggests that there may be even more changes to come next year, with Apple planning to divide the launches of the iPhone 18 models so that it is launched at different times throughout 2026 and 2027.
