- Silicon batteries arrive from TDK this year
- Apple is one of TDK’s largest customers
- Improved batteries could feed the iphone 17 air
We hope that the iPhone 17 Air replace the iPhone 16 Plus this year, and it is expected to be super thin, which has asked some questions about the battery life. Now a new leak suggests that these questions could be answered using next -generation silicon battery technology.
According to a Bloomberg report, the TDK battery manufacturer is ahead of programmed with a significant update, where silicon is used for the battery anode instead of the conventional graphite. This means that 15% more energy can be packaged in the same space.
The shipment for these batteries will begin at the end of June, which can give Apple enough time to incorporate batteries in its iPhone 17 series, including the air of the iPhone 17, which will have less space for a battery than the other models in the range.
Now we are being quite speculative by joining these particular points, but we know that TDK supplies Apple and Samsung. Samsung, of course, has just presented its own Ultra-Simlim phone in the Samsung Galaxy S25 edge.
Battery capacity and battery life
If the most recent leakage is precise, the iPhone 17 air will come with a battery capacity of 2,800 mAh. That is one of the 3,651 Mah Battery that you will find in the current model of the iPhone 16, for example.
And previous rumors on the duration of the air battery of the iPhone 17 have contradict each other. A recent report suggested that the battery life of the whole day is not guaranteed for the new telephone, and that Apple could offer an accessory of cases for it.
However, in March, a well -located source said that the battery life would be comparable to current iPhone 16 models. Note that the device will still be in evidence at this point, which can explain the contradictory accounts.
We have previously heard that the iPhone 17 air could use next -generation battery technology of some description, and that the next iOS 19 will also deliver a battery optimization tool that should further increase the useful life of the battery.
