Apple's Rumored iPhone 17 Air May Feature High-Density Battery for Improved Battery Life

Speculation suggests the ultra-thin device could leverage advanced battery technology and a power-efficient C1 modem to address battery life concerns.

Industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that the iPhone 17 Air will use high-density battery cells, similar to those planned for Apple's foldable iPhone.
The high-density battery design, using 3D stacking technology, is expected to increase energy density and potentially improve battery capacity by at least 10%.
Apple's custom C1 modem, known for its power efficiency, is rumored to be included in the iPhone 17 Air, further enhancing battery performance.
The ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air is expected to have a single-lens rear camera, which could create additional internal space for a larger battery.
Apple has not confirmed these details, but the iPhone 17 Air is anticipated to launch in September, with a design as thin as 5.5mm at its slimmest point.
