iPhone 17 Air could be the reason Apple revives a long-dead accessory

iPhone 17 series is expected to be unveiled in September. Out of the four models expected this year, one of them is anticipated to be the iPhone 17 Slim, which is likely to replace the iPhone 17 Plus. The iPhone 17 Air, or Slim as it might be called, is expected to be ultra-slim. It is reportedly going to be under 6mm thick, potentially closer to 5.5mm.

However, this ultra-thin design may come at the cost of battery life. Compared to the other iPhone 17 models, the Slim variant could offer reduced battery performance. According to a new report from The Information, Apple may be planning to revive an accessory to address this.
