- The iPhone 17 is expected to be a thin and light iPhone that replaces the Plus model.
- Along with thin pin compromises, a single rear camera, a speaker, and worse battery life.
- Apple knows that the battery life is poor, and the company’s solution is to sell you an optional battery issue.
Apple is working hard on the iPhone 17 series, and the company plans to shake things in multiple ways. The iPhone 17 series will replace the iPhone 17 Air, a thin and light iPhone model, which will replace the Plus model (which will replace the mini model). Unfortunately, a small map comes with compromises, and it seems that the iPhone 17 will be very good at the air. There will be a clear hit to the battery life.
According to a report of InformationInstead of two in the iPhone 17 Air, a speaker, Pro iPhones will have a compromise like the same rear camera, and a reducing battery life instead of the usual three. The report states that Apple’s internal tests show that Apple’s internal tests show that only 60-70 % of users can pass the same day without recharge thin phones, while other iPhone models compared the usual 80-90 %.
It is said that Apple is confronted with an optional accessories: a phone case that contains a battery pack. There is no further information about the case specifications.
Apple introduced a smart battery case for the iPhone 6 in 2015, and we can imagine that the company is revising the idea with the iPhone 17 Air. However, the smart battery case of this era was widely criticized for being widely and unpleasant. It came with a 1,877mAh battery, which brought the battery life back to the iPhone 6. For the iPhone 17 Air, a smart battery case will have to be re -considered and on the fact that the battery case defeats a very point of a thin iPhone.

The report also states that since the iPhone 17 Air does not have a physical SIM slot, it may face problems sold in some prime areas like China, where only ESIM is not allowed to sell only phones. Note that Apple only sells iPhones in the United States, so this limit is not a cause for concern for us in the United States.
A leak by the analyst Ming Chi Koo Apple suggests that Apple has air/slim lineup projects. Coo mentions that Apple is on the way to release the iPhone 18 slim in the second half of 2026, followed by the iPhone 19 Salem in the second half of 2027. It is said that the iPhone 19 Salem has a bigger display than its predecessors. It remains to be seen what Apple has said about the variations of this thin iPhone.
