Other Any rumors about iPhone 17 battery?

[Gregintosh]

Whenever I look this up I am seeing only leaks about the iPhone Air.

Either there haven’t been (possible) or the hype over the Air is crowding out everything else.

But I wonder if anyone knows if there are any leaks about the rest of the lineup?

Would be curious if there’s a chance the upcoming Pro or regular 17 will have improvements over this and last generation.

Or did you literally mean the 17 and not any of its siblings?

Yeah, I wanted the base level 17 and also the 17 Pro (not just Pro Max).

My personal decision will be between 17 and 17 Pro, if I choose to upgrade.

If you want maximum life, get a Pro or Pro Max.

Too bad, no more Plus models which I love the best (lighter weight, more battery life).

I am getting the new battery chemistry silicon anode battery 17 Air for the weight reason since I carry a heavy Pro Max for work on my belt as well....

Your money would very likely be better spent on a new battery for your 15 Pro. Battery life improvements are merely incremental from generation to generation and with newer iOS versions and new features like Apple Intelligence these small gains will be eaten up. There is a reason why your 15 Pro doesn't have substantially better battery life than for a 13 Pro and for the same reason a 17 or 17 Pro won't improve much either.

Of course a new 17 or 17 Pro will give you better battery life instantly because it's got a fresh battery. And you can get that for your 15 Pro for a much lower price. If you don't mind the weight you can add the new anker maggo 5k nano power bank with Magsafe that is barely thicker than the camera island. From my experience with it the magnets are strong enough that it won't slip off accidentally and it recharges roughly 50% which isn't much but it's much cheaper than buying a new iPhone.
