These photos could indicate that faster battery charging is coming to the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and maybe the iPhone 17 Air.
With the unveiling of the iPhone 17 series roughly five weeks away, leakster (to coin a term) Majin Bu says that one of his sources has sent him photographs of the iPhone 17 Pro battery inside a stainless steel case. Two different versions of the battery case were revealed. One is for the U.S. market and the other for the Chinese market. The U.S. version has a smaller “L-shaped” cutout compared with the cutout on the Chinese variant of the stainless steel battery case.
The Chinese version of the steel battery case also differs from the U.S. version because of its ability to host a SIM tray. Starting with the iPhone 14 series in 2022, new model iPhone units sold in the U.S. are not equipped with a physical SIM tray. The U.S. version of the stainless steel battery case is also wider.
