Bloomberg: the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air will get an innovative silicon anode battery from Japanese company TDK
The media repeatedly mentioned that for the ultra-thin body of the future iPhone 17 Air, users will have to pay for the reduced battery capacity. However, as reported by Bloomberg, the American company has found a way out of the situation.
Here's What We Know
Bloomberg editors learned that the iPhone 17 Air will receive an advanced battery with a silicon anode from the Japanese company TDK.
It is reported that in this way Apple will increase the battery capacity by 15% while maintaining the same size, which is critical for an ultra-thin device, the thickness of which will be 5.5 mm.
In addition to the battery, Apple will optimise iOS, which will ensure long battery life of the iPhone 17 Air, comparable to current iPhone models. The smartphone will be equipped with an energy-efficient C1 modem and it will not get an ultra-wide-angle camera, as its place will be taken by the battery.
It is known that TDK is already working on next-generation batteries, which will be made on the basis of pure silicon and will be 10 times more capacious.
