If you thought Samsung’s ultra-thin Android flagship this year packs a modestly sized battery, wait until you hear what Apple’s Galaxy S25 Edge rival could offer in the same department.
If you’ve been expecting Apple to outclass Samsung in terms of battery size in the newly established ultra-thin flagship phone category this year, then. you’ve probably not paid much attention to the iPhone 17 Air rumors floating around these last few months.
The first-of-a-kind iOS handset expected to go up against the Galaxy S25 Edge starting next month has long been tipped (by more than one source) to pack a sub-3,000mAh cell, and now there’s cold hard evidence supporting that theory.
Obviously, no one knows the answer to that question (for sure) at the moment, but the freshly leaked images purporting to show the phone’s battery paint quite a spectacular picture. Unfortunately, they also make it virtually impossible for the iPhone 17 Air to break the aforementioned 3,000mAh cell capacity barrier, with the exact number instead being very likely to sit at « approximately » 2,900mAh.
All this information comes from an insider who’s been right about some things in the past and wrong about a few others, so it’s not technically etched in stone just yet.
