iPhone 17 Air's shockingly thin battery poses for the camera
iPhone 17 Air battery compared to iPhone 17 Pro's battery
As per the new report, iPhone 17 Air's battery is just 2.49mm thick, including the metal casing. That's about three credit cards stacked on top of each other. As we can see in the second image, the 17 Air's battery is noticeably thinner compared to the 17 Pro's. This will be needed as Apple's thinnest phone to date is allegedly just 5.5 mm thick.
A thin device like that will naturally feature less battery capacity than what we're used to. As per the latest rumors, the 17 Air's cell packs around 2,900 mAh of charge – a far cry from the iPhone 16 Plus (which the 17 Air is replacing) and its 4,674mAh cell. iPhone 17 Air (bottom) compared to iPhone 16 Plus (top)
The iPhone 13 mini from 2021 was the last iPhone to feature a sub-3,000mAh battery, and that device powered a 5.4-inch screen, whereas the 17 Air is rumored to bring a 6.9-inch display. It remains to be seen if Apple will employ a silicon-carbon (Si/C) battery to help boost the 17 Air's endurance.

Apple is considering tandem OLEDs for its 2028 iPhones
According to a recent report from The Elec, Apple is currently evaluating plans to bring tandem OLED displays to the iPhone. The display tech made its debut on the iPad Pro (2024) and brings two OLED panels layered on top of each other. The benefits include higher brightness output and reduced power consumption. Apple is currently evaluating the optimal tandem OLED display for the iPhone, and it apparently prefers a simplified implementation to the one used on the most recent iPad Pros. A simplified tandem OLED would still consist of two panels, with the second OLED layer only including the blue subpixels, while the primary panel houses the red and green ones. LG Display has allegedly contacted Apple about a simplified tandem OLED display last year, and Apple is also in talks with its other key supplier - Samsung Display. Apple usually operates a standard two-year schedule for development and mass production, and the new report suggests the earliest iPhone with a tandem OLED would appear in 2028. While the report does not go into detail about which model of the iPhone would receive the new display tech, it will likely be an exclusive feature for Pro models. Source

Samsung could make the budget Galaxy Buds 3 FE last a lot longer than the costly Galaxy Buds 3 Pro
As long as you don't compare them to the absolute best wireless earbuds money can buy right now, Samsung's ultra-affordable Galaxy Buds FE are undeniably great at everything from actively cancelling out noise to leveraging cutting-edge Galaxy AI technology for live translation purposes and playing music in exceptional overall quality for hours on end. As unlikely as it sounds, the company's next budget-friendly AirPods alternative might be able to hold its own in a head-to-head battle against the costlier and technically higher-end Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, at least in one key department. Yes, the Galaxy Buds 3 FE are expected to deliver better battery life than both of those 2024-released products, as well as the original Galaxy Buds Fan Edition from a couple of years back. That may explain (at least in part) why Samsung will reportedly skip the Galaxy Buds 2 FE branding to line up the name of its second-gen low-cost earbuds with the rest of the 2025 family. Now, the actual battery capacity numbers tipped for the Galaxy Buds 3 FE today are pretty insane, standing at 200mAh in total for the earbuds themselves and 900mAh as far as the bundled charging case is concerned. For comparison, the first-gen Galaxy Buds FE come with 60mAh cell capacity per bud (obviously amounting to a modest 120mAh), while the charging case stands at a similarly unimpressive 480mAh or so. The numbers of the super-premium (and super-expensive) Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are not much higher, actually starting at a lower 53mAh per bud and adding 515mAh juice from their charging case. Does that all mean the Galaxy Buds 3 FE will somehow be able to deliver twice as high running times between charges compared to both the OG Galaxy Buds FE and last year's Galaxy Buds 3 Pro ? Probably not, but a real-world battery life upgrade is now essentially guaranteed for this increasingly exciting product likely to see daylight alongside the Galaxy S25 FE handset at some point this fall.
