iPhone 17 Air's biggest weakness may be its battery, here's how
is expected to launch a new slimmer Air model with the
iPhone 17
lineup in September. The recent leaks for this model suggest that the ultra-thin design may come with battery compromises. The latest rumour claims that the iPhone 17 Air's battery capacity may not exceed 3000mAh. Earlier this year, a leaker named yeux1122 initially claimed the iPhone 17 Air's battery would be 2800mAh. A figure which is lower than some expectations. Now, this battery capacity range seems to be corroborated by another tipster named Instant Digital. The leaker recently took to Chinese social media site Weibo to claim that the battery of
iPhone 17 Air
may 'not exceed 3000mAh.' It's important to note that even if the battery capacity reaches closer to 3000mAh, it would still be considerably less than what the rest of the iPhone 17 lineup is expected to offer.
How iPhone Air 17's battery may compare to existing and upcoming models
To compare, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is rumoured to feature a battery capacity of around 5000mAh. Last year's iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro had batteries closer to 3500mAh; however, the iPhone 17 Air will need more power to support its larger display. Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Plus packs a bigger 4,674mAh battery.

To address potential battery concerns, Apple seems to have a couple of tricks up its sleeve for the iPhone 17 Air. Firstly, iOS 26 is introducing a new Adaptive Power mode, which is aimed at extending battery life. Secondly, Apple is said to be working on a new battery case accessory for users who want extra backup. Still, for many considering the iPhone 17 Air, battery life could remain a major concern if the rumours are to be true.
The iPhone 17 Air is expected to debut in four colours, including a light Lavender, a soft Desert Titanium, and a standout Space Black variant. It may be the first non-Pro iPhone to feature a 120Hz display, though without variable refresh rate to save battery. The slimmer iPhone may be powered by the
A19 chip
and run iOS 26 out-of-the-box.

Edge AI chip startup Netrasemi raises Rs 107 crore from Zoho, Unicorn India Ventures
Chennai: Amid the efforts to indigenise CCTV equipment supply chain, Kerala-based chip startup Netrasemi has raised Rs 107 crore in Series A round from Zoho Corporations and Unicorn India Ventures. It develops an integrated circuit called system on chips (SoC), which enables computing in internet of things (IoT) products for applications such as surveillance, industrial robotics, and smart home and retail devices. Founded in 2020, Netrasemi is building SOCs that can process video and AI workloads directly on devices without sending them to the cloud. It has developed two SoC products, a video analytics chip and a microcontroller chip for IoT sensors, currently in the prototyping stage. 'The first chip has advanced video capabilities and we have initiated development of CCTV AI camera chips for the Indian market. The govt's push to localise CCTV supply chains is driving the demand. The trustworthiness of being an Indian player helps both domestic and international markets,' Jyothis Indirabhai, co-founder and chief executive of Netrasemi told TOI.

Gupshup raises $6O mn to fuel global expansion
Bengaluru: Conversational AI platform Gupshup raised over $60 million through a combination of equity and debt financing from Globespan Capital Partners and EvolutionX Debt Capital. "In terms of growth, there are two main areas: product and go-to-market. On the product side, we're investing heavily in AI-driven smart messaging. We launched a product called Conversation Cloud, which enables enterprises to build AI agents to interact with their customers. I can elaborate on that if you like. On the go-to-market side, we're expanding beyond India into the Middle East, Latin America, and Southeast Asia—regions that are showing high growth potential," said Beerud Sheth, founder and CEO of Gupshup. The funding will be used to boost sales growth, advance product innovation, and strengthen Gupshup's presence in key verticals worldwide. The company is seeing exceptional demand for its platform, driven by the global AI revolution.

"Initially, it was just SMS—basic notifications like 'your order is confirmed' or 'your flight is delayed.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo Then came WhatsApp, which was a bit more interactive with images and richer content. After that, chatbots emerged, but those were very rigid—mostly menu-based options, simple back-and-forth interactions." Now, with large language models (LLMs) and AI, we have fully conversational AI agents. Consumers can interact naturally, asking questions like, "What are my options for rebooking a flight?" or "Can I cancel?" It's like speaking to an airline agent, a bank manager, or a retail shopping assistant. This creates a richer, more engaging, and efficient experience," he added. Enterprises need tools to build and manage these AI agents, including campaign managers for alerts, personalisation engines, commerce integrations for payments, human escalation features, advertising system integrations, and analytics for continuous improvement. With 50,000 customers in 130 countries, the company's platform enables businesses to automate complex customer interactions while maintaining personalised, human-like conversations.
