Other iPhone 17 Air Could Feature Solid-State Battery: Game-Changing Tech with a Price Tag?

[aditya1503]

With rivals like the X200 Pro and POCO now adopting solid-state electrolyte batteries, Apple might follow suit with the iPhone 17 Air. Solid-state batteries are known for their superior energy density, faster charging, and enhanced safety compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries.

If Apple takes this leap, the iPhone 17 Air could deliver significantly better battery life and durability—but it might come with a noticeable price increase. Could this be the breakthrough we've been waiting for, or will the cost dampen the excitement?

What are your thoughts—are you ready to pay a premium for this next-gen battery tech?

Not likely. Something like that would definitely have been leaked. Possibly a battery like the regular 16 with some type of metal casing would be more likely IMO

But the price increase should be justified if they price it around $1599

They’re not pricing it anywhere near $1,599. It will be around the price of the Plus.

There are commercialization bottlenecks with the tech. And this is from the best of the best battery producers in the world, CATL.
