iPhone 17 series battery details leak ahead of September 9 launch

With just a day to go before Apple’s big event, a fresh leak has revealed the battery sizes of the upcoming iPhone 17 series. It looks like all models are set to get slightly larger batteries this time.

Tipster ShrimpApplePro has shared the numbers: the iPhone 17 may pack a 3,692mAh battery, the iPhone 17 Air could get a 3,036mAh cell, the iPhone 17 Pro might house a 3,988mAh unit, and the top-end iPhone 17 Pro Max may feature a 4,832mAh battery.

Interestingly, the eSIM-only versions of the iPhone 17 Air, Pro, and Pro Max are tipped to have even bigger batteries — 3,149mAh, 4,252mAh, and 5,088mAh respectively.

The bigger batteries may be possible because Apple has reportedly used the extra space created by removing the physical SIM card tray.

Apple’s launch event is set for September 9 at 10 AM PT, where the company is expected to unveil the new iPhone 17 lineup, along with fresh Apple Watch models and possibly the next-gen AirPods Pro 3.
