- The iPhone 17 air is inclined to have only 5.5 mm thick
- A weight of 143 grams has also been rumored
- The battery capacity is expected to be 2,800 mAh
It is the year of the Ultra Delgado telephone, and after the great presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge earlier this week, we now have some rumored specifications for the air of the iPhone 17 that is expected to be Apple present in September.
According to the well -known Tipster Yeux1122 (through @jukanlosreve), the air of the iPhone 17 will be only 5.5 mm in front of behind, which exceeds the 5.8 mm thickness of the edge of the Galaxy S25 by a narrow margin.
The other details revealed here are that it will come with a 2,800 mAh battery (compared to 3,900 mAh for the Galaxy S25 EDGE) and weighs about 145 grams (compared to 163 grams for the Samsung model).
Taking into account that the iPhone 16 comes with a 3,561 mAh battery packaged inside, that poses some questions about how long the air of the iPhone 17 will last between the loads, and if you can spend the day without connecting it.

Hopefully Apple engineers can find a way to obtain as much juice as possible of this smaller battery and super thin frame. Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, which is generally reliable when it comes to Apple rumors, says that the duration of the iPhone 17 air battery will be on par with the current iPhones.
We have also heard that Apple will introduce a new high density battery technology with this model, which means that a longer battery life for less capacity. Apparently, the same technology is also configured for the next folding iPhone.
It is also noteworthy: a source says that Apple will bring its official iPhone drum box this year, to compensate for battery deficiencies with the iPhone 17 Air. You may want to take that into account in your budget if you are thinking of collecting one.
Although nothing is still confirmed, the iPhone 17 air is expected to replace the iPhone 16 Plus in the current alignment. There has also been much talk about a significant redesign for iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models, so there is much to wait in September.
