The iPhone 17 Air won't sacrifice battery life in the name of thinness, while also supposedly acting as the next evolutionary stage toward rumored portless and foldable iPhones, says veteran tipster Mark Gurmam of Bloomberg.
One would expect a thinner phone to feature a smaller battery, and worse battery life as a result. But according to Gurman, Apple made sure its engineers redesigned "display and silicon components, as well as software," to give the iPhone 17 Air a battery life "on par with current iPhones."
