iPhone 17 battery Capacities Leaked Ahead of Apple Event
With less than two days until Apple’s event showcasing the iPhone 17 lineup, AirPods Pro 3, and new Apple Watch models, a new leak has surfaced detailing the battery capacities for each iPhone 17 model.
iPhone 17 Battery Capacities
According to reputable Apple leaker ShrimpApplePro, here are the “real” battery capacities:
| iPhone Model | Battery Capacity (mAh) | Gain vs. previous Model |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 17 | 3692 | 3.6% vs.iPhone 16 |
| iPhone 17 Air | 3149 / 3036 | 48% loss vs. iPhone 16 Plus |
| iPhone 17 Pro | 4252 / 3988 | Up to 18.6% vs. iPhone 16 Pro |
| iPhone 17 Pro Max | 5088 / 4823 | Up to 8.6% vs.iPhone 16 Pro Max |
The redesigned iPhone 17 Air, Pro, and Pro Max models appear to be utilizing the extra internal space for larger batteries. Users with eSIM-only iPhones will reportedly gain an additional 5% of battery capacity compared to those with physical SIM card trays.
The standard iPhone 17 is expected to have a single battery capacity, potentially indicating it won’t offer the same eSIM-specific battery boost as the other models, likely due to its similar design to the iPhone 16.
