The picture from Yeux1122 clearly shows how much thinner the iPhone 17 Air battery is compared to the iPhone 17 Pro battery. The leak confirms its thickness is only 2.49 mm, almost twice as thin as the 17 Pro's battery.

The overall thickness of the iPhone 17 Air should be only 5.5mm, making it an ultra-thin model even by Apple's standards. For comparison: 16 Pro was 2 mm thicker.

Here's What We Know

The expected battery capacity is ≈ 2,900 mAh, slightly higher than the initial forecasts of 2,800 mAh. For comparison, the iPhone 16 has 3,500 mAh and the iPhone 16 Pro Max has 5,000 mAh.

Apple is striving to achieve a record-setting slim design, so it has made serious compromises in battery life - only 60-70% of users can expect to work for a full day without recharging.
