Apple’s rumored iPhone 17 Air model will have “worse” battery life compared to previous iPhone models, according to The Information.
Based on Apple’s internal testing, the report said the percentage of users who will be able to use the iPhone 17 Air for a full day without recharging the device will be between 60% and 70%. For other models, that metric is between 80% and 90%, according to the report.
To mitigate this problem, the report said that Apple is planning to release a battery case for the iPhone 17 Air.
Apple last released battery cases for the iPhone 11 lineup, before moving on to the since-discontinued MagSafe Battery Pack for iPhone 12 models and newer.
