iPhone 17
Despite having smaller cells than their Android counterparts, iPhones are widely commended for their battery optimization. The 2025 iPhone lineup will feature these colors.
The svelte new design of Apple’s ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air may come at the expense of battery life. This thinnest iPhone ever may also have the smallest battery capacity the company has shipped in years, if leaks are to be believed.
If recent leaks are any indication, Apple’s next iPhone 17 range might cost a little more than its predecessor. Due in large part to continued tariff pressures and shifting currency dynamics, the majority of next-generation smartphones may face a $50 price increase.
Although the iPhone 17 range has not yet been formally revealed by Apple, excitement is growing for the anticipated early September release. Major internal design modifications are anticipated for the iPhone 17 Air, which is marketed as a lightweight, ultra-thin model. According to a recent leak by Korean blogger “Lanzuk,” this model may have a battery capacity of about 2,900 mAh, which is even less than the 3,561 mAh cell found in the iPhone 16.
According to tipster @Jukanlosreve, tariff-related expenses and “the weak dollar effect” influence Apple’s price changes. However, the ultimate impact on users has apparently been lessened, if not completely averted, because to Apple’s behind-the-scenes talks for cheaper components.
According to estimates, the Pro and Pro Max models may start at $1,050 and $1,250, respectively, while the basic iPhone 17 may start at about $850 (about £850 or AU$1,475). The iPhone 17 Air, a recent addition to the lineup, is anticipated to retail for about $899, which is the same price range as the iPhone 16 Plus, but perhaps with the same $50 increase.
Internal Redesign and Steel Battery Casing
According to reports, Apple is employing a steel battery casing a technique first used in the iPhone 16 Pro to meet the small form factor. This method facilitates heat dissipation and aligns with the L-shaped internal arrangement of the gadget.
Additionally, the layout makes it possible to fit a logic board that is smaller into the chassis without sacrificing thermal efficiency. Additionally, Apple is subtly hinting at more repairable hardware with the introduction of new battery adhesives for the iPhone 17 series, which will make battery replacement easier.
Leaked: New Color Options
Fans may be disappointed by a price rise, but Apple may be making up for it with a large color palette for the 2025 iPhone selection. Images showing what might be the entire range of iPhone 17 colors were just leaked by Majin Bu, and they aren’t just your typical grayscale.
