Battery sizes revealed for Apple iPhone 17 lineup in new leak

Apple's iPhone 17 lineup is just a day away, but that doesn't mean the rumors will stop coming.

The latest report by leaker ShrimpApplePro (via MacRumors) claims to reveal the exact battery capacities for all of the new iPhones, reportedly lifted from Chinese regulatory documents.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Besides the actual capacities, another interesting tidbit from the leak is the quite different capacities for variants of iPhone with and without a SIM card slot (which takes up some of the space inside the phone, thereby theoretically reducing available space for the battery).

The figures are as follows:

• iPhone 17 Pro: 3,988mAh with a SIM card slot, 4,252mAh without a SIM tray slot

• iPhone 17 Pro Max: 4,823mAh with a SIM card slot, 5,088mAh without a SIM tray slot

• iPhone 17 Air: 3,036mAh with a SIM card slot, 3,149mAh without a SIM tray slot

• iPhone 17: 3,692mAh (just one figure is listed for this model, and it's unclear whether that's for the version with or without the SIM card slot)

If accurate, the figures are interesting, as they confirm earlier rumors that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be the first iPhone ever with a battery over 5,000mAh capacity. Also, the iPhone 17 Air's battery appears to be quite puny, even when compared to the iPhone 17's battery. We'll see if Apple can offset that by using its own C1 modem in the iPhone 17 Air, which is another rumor we've heard about the upcoming device.
