Here’s hoping we’ll actually notice it during real life usage.

So the Air will fit in like this...(US). This *may* tip me back to the 17Air. That and the new efficiencies built into the new OS and the chipset
| iPhone Model | Battery Size (mAh) |
|---|---|
| iPhone 13 Pro | 3095 |
| iPhone 11 | 3110 |
| iPhone 17 Air (rumored) | 3149 |
| iPhone 14 Pro | 3200 |
| iPhone 13 | 3240 |
| iPhone 15 Pro | 3274 |
| iPhone 14 | 3279 |
| iPhone 15 | 3349 |
| iPhone 16 Pro | ~3355 |
of course it's a play on "jaw dropping", but you're right: "awe dropping" sounds more like "drop your awe, we're going to disappoint you"
Let me guess: „Awe-day battery life”?
Mine has been great, so it makes me wonder how much better they can make it!
I get two full days with 16 Pro (non-max). Good by me!
Imagine how heavy the phone would be if you made the phone as thick as the camera bump and filled that with battery. Over half pound phone anyone?
The sole reason I am considering an upgrade is the battery on my 15 pro is trash. Really hope battery life gains translate to real world usage.
I'm not expecting much but I just want a REAL redesign at last, better than iPhone 13 Pro battery life, top of the line display on par with Pixel 10 3300 nits, and finally some colours that aren't catered to 55 yr old men in biege chinos and polo tops.
I've waited nearly 6 years for this event, it's taken few knocks to force them to stop being lazy and greedy but as long as the $200 increase rumour is false then I'm in for a new Pro because NOTHING on these failed AI phones is worth an increase that high.

Currently on 15 pro
If this is true may stick with 17 pro instead of going max !

The 16 pro looked to be a decent jump … so should expect 17 pro to be good !
It’s all because the 13 mini will get an Awe Increasing battery life.
Thank you Tim - gotta take it from somewhere 🥳

This is very promising for me. I have a 15 Pro Max and have been interested in downsizing (again) to the Pro model. Sounds like this 17 Pro will give me the same (or slightly more) battery than my 15 PM. Any universe in which I can get a smaller phone that lasts as long as a bigger phone works for me.
Depends on what's important to you? Weight, battery life and/or camera improvements?
It's easy to increase batter life adding thickness and weight, it's something else when you want to keep the weight comfortable enough to use the device. And I think the 16 Pro is too heavy.
I think they have been, all the time. However making the iPhone thicker and heavier is much easier than with a smartwatch. You can't compare the 2 at all. How many times does the Apple Watch's volume fith the iPhone's?
