IPhone 17 Series Battery Capacities Revealed with Longer Life, Physical SIM Variants

Ahead of Apple's September 9 launch event, leaks reveal detailed battery capacities for the iPhone 17 series, highlighting significant upgrades especially for eSIM-only variants that benefit from additional internal space. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to be the first iPhone to surpass 5,000 mAh battery capacity, with improvements also seen across the iPhone 17 Air, Pro, and standard models, potentially offering longer battery life and enhanced heat management for prolonged 4K video recording and gaming performance. These capacity increases coincide with Apple expanding eSIM-only options to more regions, allowing better battery efficiency and device design. The iPhone 17 series will also mark a manufacturing milestone with all models being produced in India, reflecting Apple's strategic focus on the Indian market. User expectations emphasize not only hardware improvements like battery and dual SIM support but also enhanced software intelligence and AI features, where Apple faces stiff competition from rivals like Google. Photography enthusiasts anticipate camera upgrades in the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, particularly with a 48MP telephoto lens, though improvements in low-light performance and macro photography remain areas to watch.
