For the first time, there will be two different versions of the iPhone 17 Pro with distinct batteries inside, it seems. And a 17 Air battery has just leaked.

According to leaks, the Air's battery is just 2.49 mm thick and would have a capacity below 3,000 mAh. The last iPhones to have such low-capacity batteries were the iPhone 12 and 13.

According to some Chinese sources, the battery capacity of the iPhone 17 Air is around 2,800mAh. No reliable information has been confirmed regarding the iPhone 17 Pro's battery, but the larger iPhone 17 Pro Max is said to have a battery capacity above 5,000mAh—the largest ever found in an iPhone.

When the new, super-slim iPhone arrives next month, it may have an internal design with better battery life than predicted, according to the latest report.

The alleged live images posted on the Korean Naver blog by “yeux1122” show that the iPhone 17 Air gets a slim battery pack. It is almost half as thin as the iPhone 17 Pro battery. The account claims the battery measures just 2.

Majin Bu posted a report on Monday about the iPhone 17 Air battery, which is essentially the same report Bu posted last Friday. That Friday report, however, was retracted by Bu, who erroneously stated that it was the iPhone 17 Air battery,
