The latest news suggests that fans won't have to worry about the battery life of the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air.
Ever since news of the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air, measuring just 5.44mm thick, the immediate question has been: will such a thin device have short battery life? Concerns about battery life being affected by size constraints have been widespread. However, a recent report suggests that this "super product" will not disappoint iFans.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo points out that the iPhone 17 Air will use high-density battery cells, a technology that is also expected to appear on Apple's future foldable device. This development is aimed at maximizing energy efficiency in the device's ultra-thin design.
High-density battery cells are designed to store more energy in the same physical space than standard battery technology. This increased energy density is achieved through modern advances in cell materials and structures, allowing for greater concentration of energy storage components.
Essentially, it's about packing more power into a smaller volume. This innovation becomes important for space-constrained devices, allowing for increased battery capacity without increasing the overall size of the device.

The pursuit of improved battery technology continues. Manufacturers have continually sought to increase battery density to meet the ever-increasing power demands of modern devices. Battery technology has progressed through a variety of chemistries and structural designs, each of which has significantly improved energy storage capacity. The move to high-density cells represents a significant step forward, especially for portable electronic devices.
Beyond the battery, the iPhone 17 Air’s potential for longer battery life is further supported by other factors. The integration of Apple’s energy-efficient C1 modem is expected to reduce power consumption during cellular operations. Additionally, the lack of an ultra-wide-angle camera frees up internal space, allowing for a larger battery. These combined factors suggest that Apple is taking a comprehensive strategy to optimize battery performance in its thinnest iPhone model.
Therefore, iFans will not have to worry about the battery life of this thinnest iPhone. Even if this iPhone model has a shorter battery life, users will be less "addicted" to smartphones. Not to mention, the iPhone 17 Air can also set a new standard for future smartphone designs, where thinness and battery life are no longer a trade-off, mutually exclusive.
