The iPhone 17 Air might not survive a full day

 Apple is banking on a new energy-saving mode to compensate



Apple is working on the iPhone 17 Air, an ultra-thin model that would measure just 5.5 millimeters thick. Expected for September 2025, this smartphone would replace the iPhone Plus, which never really found its audience. The Cupertino company has promised to revolutionize the market with this new format, but a major challenge arises: how to fit a sufficient battery into such a small space?

Since April, rumors have been circulating about innovative solutions to maintain good battery life. Apple planned to use silicon anode batteries and its own C1 modem, already present in the iPhone 16. These technologies were supposed to compensate for the reduced space, but the latest information points to a less favorable compromise than hoped for future users.

A battery that takes a leap into the past

Leaker Instant Digital, which has over 1.4 million followers on Weibo (China's equivalent of Facebook), has just confirmed a worrying piece of news. The iPhone 17 Air's battery won't reach 3000 mAh , which brings us back to the capacities of the iPhone 12 and 13. This figure corresponds to previous rumors that mentioned precisely 2800 mAh.

However, be prepared for a software update that could save the day. iOS 26 will introduce an "Adaptive Power Mode" tailored to each iPhone model . The 17 Air's will likely be more advanced. As a reminder, the feature analyzes how you use your phone to optimize power consumption and try to maintain a full day of battery life.

According to internal tests, it appears that the new silicon anode technology is not enough to make up for the iPhone 17 Air's battery capacity shortfall.

Internal tests not very reassuring

Data from Apple's labs reveals the true performance. According to a report from The Information, only 60 to 70 percent of users will be able to last a full day without charging their iPhone 17 Air. This figure rises to 80 to 90 percent for other iPhone models, a notable difference that demonstrates the price of thinness.

Faced with this situation, Apple is preparing a complementary solution. A case with an integrated battery may be marketed specifically for the iPhone 17 Air. This will be the first such accessory since the iPhone 11 battery case.

Why Is Using Cash Unhelpful When A Person Wants To Apply For A Loan In The Near Future?

-
  Using cash for expenses and transactions can be unhelpful when a person wants to apply for a loan in the near future for several reasons: Limited Documentation : Cash transactions often lack documentation, making it difficult for lenders to verify income, assets, and financial history. Lenders typically require documentation such as bank statements, pay stubs, and tax returns to assess a borrower's financial stability and creditworthiness.

Credit History : Using cash for transactions does not contribute to building a positive credit history. Lenders use credit reports and credit scores to evaluate a borrower's creditworthiness and assess the risk of lending money.
