Apple is about to launch its ultra-thin 5.5mm thick iPhone 17 Air during the big Awe-dropping event. With that, Apple has been rumored to try out a new silicon-carbon battery with its new skinny phone.

Right now, phone makers are in a race to the bottom to make ever-thinner handsets. The problem is that the standard lithium-ion battery can only get so small before you truly lose out on battery life. Enter silicon-carbon.
