The iPhone 17 series is expected to be unveiled in September. Of the four models that are expected this year, one of them is expected to be the iPhone 17 smart, which will probably replace the iPhone 17 Plus. The iPhone 17-air, or slim as it could be called, is expected to be ultra-slim. It is said that it will be less than 6 mm thick, possibly closer to 5.5 mm.
However, this ultra -thin design can be at the expense of the battery life. Compared to the other iPhone 17 models, the slim variant could offer reduced battery performance. According to a new report from the information, Apple may intend to breathe new life into an accessory to tackle this.
Apple could revive this battery case
The report claims that the battery life on this model will be affected and the internal tests of Apple suggest that only 60 to 70 percent of users could withstand a full day without charging. The figure for other iPhone 17 models, on the other hand, is around 80 to 90 percent.
To tackle this potential disadvantage, Apple can introduce a battery accessory for the iPhone 17 air to guarantee a full day of the battery life. This can take the form of a battery case, similar to what Apple offered for the iPhone 6 in 2015.
Such a case would integrate a battery into the design, which offers extended use, just like the earlier battery cases that Apple has released.
Form above function: there can also be extra compromises
The report also states that the iPhone 17 air may not contain a physical SIM card slot. This could cause problems in markets where ESIM acceptance is still limited or not properly received (including India), because some users prefer to have physical SIM cards.
Secondly, the phone can contain a single speaker instead of stereo speakers. In addition, the renders of the device have shown only one camera on the back, and this is long expected that users should be made possible to offer Apple a device that offers a form about function.
