There’s under two days left until Apple’s ‘Awe dropping’ event for all four iPhone 17 models, AirPods Pro 3, a trio of Apple Watch models, and more. That doesn’t stop last minute leaks, though – and we just got an incredibly interesting new leak for iPhone 17 battery capacities.
iPhone 17 battery capacities
This leak comes from reputable Apple leaker ShrimpApplePro, and it shares “real” battery capacities for all four iPhone 17 models:
iPhone 17: 3692mAh (3.6% gain versus iPhone 16)
iPhone 17 Air: 3149mAh/3036mAh (48% loss versus iPhone 16 Plus)
iPhone 17 Pro: 4252mAh/3988mAh (up to 18.6% gain versus iPhone 16 Pro)
iPhone 17 Pro Max: 5088mAh/4823mAh (up to 8.6% gain versus iPhone 16 Pro Max)
For the three redesigned iPhone 17 models: 17 Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max, Apple seems to finally be taking advantage of the additional space in the phone. If you have an eSIM-only iPhone, you’ll have around 5% more battery capacity over other users with physical SIM card trays.
iPhone 17 only has a single battery capacity listed. It’s possible that this phone won’t offer more battery life for eSIM-only users, possibly because the 17 is largely going to share the same design language with the iPhone 16.
Nonetheless, these are sizable battery gains across the lineup, especially with the standard iPhone 17 Pro model. iPhone 17 Air’s reported battery capacity of 3149mAh is also a fair bit higher than previous reports.
