Tech News: Apple is once again going to create a stir in the tech world. This time the discussion is about its next ultra-slim phone - iPhone 17 Air. While its thickness and weight are attracting tech lovers, the report about the battery has shocked people. Will this phone be stylish but not durable?

Extreme slimness: Revolution hidden in 5.5mm thickness

The standout feature of the iPhone 17 Air is its incredibly slim profile, measuring just 5.5mm making it the thinnest iPhone to date. This effort of Apple clearly shows how serious it is about design. But this design is also becoming its biggest weakness - in the form of battery.

2,800mAh: Will today's smartphone last this little?

According to leaks, the iPhone 17 Air will have only a 2,800mAh battery. In today's time, when even midrange phones are offering batteries above 5,000mAh, Apple's decision to offer such a small backup seems to be a bold but risky decision. In comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, which has a 3,900mAh battery, has also faced criticism.

High-Density Battery: Hope or Show Off?

Apple sources claim that the company may bring "high-density battery technology" this time, which will improve backup despite a smaller battery. According to reports, there is a possibility of getting 15-20% more performance. But when the original capacity itself is low, how much difference will even 20% make? This is the real question.

145 gram miracle or compromise?

The iPhone 17 Air is said to weigh just 145 grams. In such a light and thin phone, Apple has probably given more importance to form than performance. The phone is said to include features like 120Hz display, A19 chip, camera control button and dynamic island, but all the features matter only when the device can last the whole day.

Apple's new challenge: Beauty vs durability

The name 'Air' in the iPhone 17 Air is truly making it light and thin, but the question is, will this phone give all-day reliability? Is Apple ignoring a basic aspect like battery in the race of design only?

A beautiful appearance or powerful in operation?

Apple operates in a different league of its own, but this time the stakes are bigger. While on the one hand it is going to give the lightest and thinnest iPhone, on the other hand there is dissatisfaction among the fans about the battery. It will be unveiled in October 2025, only then will it be known whether this device is just beautiful in appearance or also powerful in operation.
