We all know Xiaomi will be the first to launch a flagship with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. For a while, it was expected to be the Xiaomi 16 series, but the company has confirmed a slight change in plans.
Xiaomi is launching the Xiaomi 17 series instead. The confirmation comes from Xiaomi China, which announced that the lineup will include three new flagships: the Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Pro, and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max.
And if you guessed the move was to go head-to-head with Apple’s iPhone 17 series, you’d be right—the company itself says so.
Xiaomi also confirmed that the vanilla model won’t see a price increase, meaning the Xiaomi 17 will start at CNY 4,499 for the 12GB/256GB version.
The 17 Pro, meanwhile, is confirmed to be a compact flagship, just like we have been hearing in rumors. The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max is being described as the company’s “most powerful flagship in Xiaomi’s history” when it comes to top-end technology and imaging.
What we know so far
The Xiaomi 17 and 17 Pro are expected to feature 6.3-inch displays with ultra-thin bezels, while the larger Pro Max could stretch to 6.8 inches. All three will use OLED panels with 2K resolution.
Powering the trio is the Snapdragon 8 Elite. According to reports, the base Xiaomi 17 will include a 7,000mAh battery, while the Pro Max could climb as high as 7,500mAh. Even the compact 17 Pro is said to pack a sizable 6,300mAh cell with wireless charging support.
On the camera side, the Xiaomi 17 Pro and Pro Max are rumored to upgrade to a SmartSens 590 50-megapixel main sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto with macro support. Up front, all three models are expected to carry a 50-megapixel selfie camera with autofocus.

Oppo refreshes its Reno series twice a year. The Reno 14 series debuted back in May, and it looks like the Reno 15 series is set to arrive in late November or December. Now, thanks to tipster Digital Chat Station, we’re getting our first look at what Oppo has planned.
According to the leak, the Reno 15 family will again be split into three models. The names aren’t confirmed, but based on the details, we can expect a standard Reno 15, a Reno 15 Pro, and a new top-end Reno 15 Pro+. The Pro+ would be the first of its kind in the Reno lineup.
Oppo Reno 15 Series Specifications (Expected)
Each phone features a slightly different screen size, but all maintain a sharp 1.5K resolution. The regular Reno 15 reportedly features a 6.59-inch LTPS panel, while the Pro drops down to 6.31 inches with the same LTPS technology, and the Pro+ stretches out to 6.78 inches, utilizing LTPO for smoother refresh rates and improved power efficiency.
All models also reportedly share a few design touches. The three phones are said to have a 2.5D straight screen, a metal frame, and the same one-piece cold-carved glass design carried over from the Reno 14 series.
As for cameras, both the Reno 15 Pro and Pro+ are expected to pack a massive 200-megapixel main sensor, while all three models will include a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens for zoom shots.
Of course, there’s still plenty we don’t know, including processors, charging speeds, and pricing. More details are likely to leak as the launch gets closer.
The official debut is expected before the end of 2025, so we won’t have to wait too long to see how much of this leak actually makes it into the final devices.

In a smartphone world obsessed with sleek design, Apple’s new iPhone Air and Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge represent the pinnacle of ultra-thin engineering. Both devices are impossibly slim, featherlight, and pack pro-grade performance.
But after looking past the spec sheet gloss and into real-world utility, it’s clear that Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge edges ahead. Not just by a fraction of a millimeter, but by delivering more substance inside that skinny shell.
Thin and Light, but Functionally Different
At 5.64mm, the iPhone Air is technically slimmer than the Galaxy S25 Edge’s 5.8mm profile. That’s a hairline difference that vanishes the moment you actually pick them up.
Weight-wise, they’re essentially identical too: 165g for the iPhone Air compared to 163g for the S25 Edge. Both feel like futuristic slivers of glass and metal. But here’s where things diverge. Samsung doesn’t compromise as much to stay slim.
While Apple’s minimalist approach sacrifices an ultra-wide camera and offers only one rear shooter, Samsung fits in a 200MP main sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide camera with autofocus and macro capability. All of that in a chassis that’s just 0.15mm thicker. That’s not just better optics. It’s better use of space.
Please Note: When you buy something using the links in our articles, we may earn a small commission at no cost to you.
Performance
The iPhone Air’s new A19 Pro chip, paired with Apple’s N1 and C1X wireless and modem chips, makes it incredibly power-efficient and consistent over time. Apple’s performance usually stays smooth for years, and the 8GB RAM doesn’t feel like a limitation thanks to tight software optimization. The A19 Pro can easily keep up with the best chips Android has to offer, including the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
But where Samsung wins is software versatility. With 12GB of RAM, the Galaxy S25 Edge has more overhead for multitasking and AI tasks. And more importantly, it brings in Google’s mature AI suite, including Circle to Search, Call Transcript, Live Translate, and more. These features are already deeply embedded across One UI 7. Apple Intelligence is only just rolling out properly with iOS 26. Despite both chips being capable of running on-device AI, Samsung’s deeper and more complete AI integration gives it the upper hand in actual user experience. The performance edge still goes to Edge.
Cameras: Numbers Don’t Lie
Apple nails the front camera. The new 18MP Center Stage selfie sensor is brilliant. Not just for its wider field of view and AI-based framing but also for the ability to shoot in landscape or portrait while holding the phone vertically. It’s one of the best selfie experiences on any phone right now, period.
But on the rear, Samsung wins by volume and versatility. The 200MP main sensor with 2x optical-quality zoom outguns Apple’s 48MP Fusion camera. The addition of an ultra-wide lens with autofocus gives Samsung the flexibility Apple’s single rear camera setup lacks.
The iPhone Air may deliver better consistency and lifelike colors thanks to its new Photonic Engine, but it simply doesn’t offer the same framing options or sensor variety.
Display and Durability
Both phones boast bright, vivid OLED displays with up to 120Hz adaptive refresh rates. But Apple takes the crown for brightness. The iPhone Air hits an insane 3000 nits peak outdoors, offering slightly better visibility under harsh sunlight compared to Samsung’s already excellent QHD+ AMOLED.
On the durability front, it’s a draw. Apple’s new Ceramic Shield 2 on both front and back is more scratch and crack-resistant than ever. Samsung counters with Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, which also brings excellent shatter resistance. Both devices use titanium frames and meet IP68 water and dust resistance. For such thin phones, durability has clearly been prioritized on both sides.
Battery, Charging, and Value
Apple fits a slim battery that still delivers up to 27 hours of video playback. Samsung packs in a 3900mAh cell and backs it with 25W wired charging, wireless charging, and Wireless PowerShare. Apple counters with 20W wired charging and 20W MagSafe wireless, but no reverse wireless support.
Even if the iPhone Air lasts long enough in real-world use thanks to its tighter integration, Samsung’s faster charging and more versatile power options are a clear win for users on the move.
Verdict
Let’s talk numbers. The iPhone Air starts at $999 for 8GB/256GB and goes up to $1400 for the 1TB variant. The Galaxy S25 Edge starts at $1099 for the 12GB/256GB model and $1219 for 512GB. So yes, the iPhone Air is technically cheaper at the entry point. But it also offers less RAM, fewer cameras, and weaker charging.
When you weigh the total package, camera hardware, Google AI features, display resolution, and faster charging, the Galaxy S25 Edge emerges as the better buy. You’re getting more tech, better software integration, and a more versatile imaging setup. All while still holding a phone that’s practically the same size and weight.
The iPhone Air is an impressive step forward for Apple’s design team, and it redefines what an ultra-thin iPhone can be. But Samsung’s S25 Edge doesn’t just look futuristic. It acts like it too. And that’s what makes it the real winner in this slim showdown.

Xiaomi looks set to expand its tablet lineup with a new compact model for international markets. According to recent reports, the company plans to rebrand the Redmi K Pad, which launched in China earlier this year, as the Xiaomi Pad Mini for global release.
While Xiaomi hasn’t confirmed a date, leaks suggest the tablet could arrive later this month, possibly sharing the stage with the upcoming Xiaomi 15T series on September 24.
The Pad Mini is expected to keep the same hardware as the Redmi K Pad. That means an 8.8-inch LCD display with 2.5K resolution and a smooth 165Hz refresh rate, MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400+ chipset, and a 7,500mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging. Its all-metal body, 13MP rear camera, and 8MP front camera point to a well-rounded device that balances portability and performance. On the software side, it should run HyperOS 2 based on Android 15.
Competition in the compact tablet market is heating up. The Xiaomi Pad Mini will likely go up against the likes of Apple’s iPad Mini and RedMagic’s Astra tablet, though Xiaomi could have an edge on pricing. It may lack extras like a SIM slot or OLED display, but its combination of high-end internals and a lower price point could make it appealing to students, gamers, and anyone looking for a powerful yet portable tablet.
If the launch timeline holds, we won’t have to wait long to see how Xiaomi positions the Pad Mini in the global market.
Garmin has started pushing out a new beta update for its Instinct smartwatch lineup, bringing a handful of bug fixes aimed at improving reliability. The update, version 10.36, covers the Instinct 3 AMOLED, Instinct 3 Solar, and Instinct E models and is available now through the Garmin Connect app or Garmin Express.
The update follows the stable 10.30 build released in August and takes aim at several frustrating issues. One major fix applies to all models, correcting a problem with the Broadcast Heart Rate feature that failed to work properly when triggered with a hot key. That should make sharing heart rate data during workouts more seamless.
For the Instinct 3 Solar and AMOLED versions, Garmin has fixed a strobe light bug that left the flashlight running even after exiting an activity. Meanwhile, Instinct 3 Solar and Instinct E users get a fix for Connect IQ data fields, which now show up correctly in glances. A temperature display issue in the weather glance has also been addressed.
Runners using the Instinct 3 Solar will welcome a fix for a crash that occurred when pairing with Garmin’s Running Dynamics Pod. This should make setup smoother and more reliable.
While the update doesn’t add new features, it’s a welcome round of polish. By ironing out glitches in heart rate sharing, lighting, and activity sensors, Garmin is keeping its Instinct line dependable for outdoor and fitness-focused users. The beta build is live now, with a wider rollout expected after testing wraps up.
Apple just unveiled the iPhone 17 series with cutting edge specs and features. The new iPhone 17 debuted with the Apple A19, while the iPhone 17 Pro models and Air packed the Apple A19 Pro chip. Both chips power the brand’s latest flagship phones, bringing impressive performance and AI upgrades. So here’s a quick breakdown explaining the two chips and even their key differences.
1. Apple A19 & A19 Pro: Configuration, Process, & Architecture
Apple A19 Pro
Both chips are built on TSMC’s 3nm (N3P) node, bringing efficiency and performance improvements over older generations. The Apple A19 and Apple A19 Pro feature the same 6 core CPU configuration that includes 2 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores. The powerful performance cores have a 4.26GHz clock speed. In other words, the duo are practically the same in terms of CPU architecture and power efficiency.
However, one of the big differences is with the GPU. The base Apple A19 features a 5 core GPU, while the A19 Pro arrives with a 6 core GPU. Although, the iPhone 17 Air gets a cut down 5 core GPU on its A19 Pro chip, similar to the base A19. So the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are better for gaming or graphically intensive apps. Although, you do get hardware accelerated ray tracing on both chips.
2. Performance Difference
Apple A19
Thanks to the all new vapor chamber cooling system, the Cupertino based giant can push the Apple A19 Pro chips harder for various workloads. But the difference is marginal at best, with some benchmarks showcasing single digit percentage difference. However, the biggest upgrade in performance is for sustained workloads. This advanced thermal management solution is critical for enabling the chipset to run at peak performance for extended periods, such as during intense gaming sessions or when editing high-resolution video.
It is worth noting that the Apple A19 is paired with 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM, while the A19 Pro gets a higher 12GB LPDDR5X memory. You get a higher 6MB L2 cache on the A19 Pro, compared to the 4MB L2 cache on the vanilla variant. Certain features are also exclusive to the Pro models. This includes the ProRes RAW format, which is hardware limited on the A19 Pro in the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models. Among the new upgrades, Apple is even getting an improved ISP for better image processing.
3. AI Upgrades
A key focus on the new A19 and A19 Pro chips is the AI upgrades. Apple’s latest iPhones now supports on-device artificial intelligence, which is thanks to an updated 16 core Neural Engine. This powers intelligent features within the iOS 26 software, such as real time photo enhancements, live translations, predictive text, and more, which are processed directly on the device for increased speed and privacy.
4. Connectivity
Apple C1X and N1 chip
For wireless connectivity, it includes a new Apple-designed N1 wireless networking chip that enables support for the A19 series chips. So you get WiFi 7, Bluetooth 6, and a Snapdragon 5G modem. Similarly, the A19 Pro also supports top tier WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 6. The iPhone 17 Pros get the Qualcomm modem for 5G connectivity, but the iPhone Air gets Apple’s in-house C1X 5G modem. This proprietary chip offers improved power efficiency, but it is limited to the sub 6GHz bands.

Xiaomi‘s new Pad 8 Pro has just surfaced on Geekbench, and the early benchmark listing confirms some seriously powerful specs. The tablet is a flagship model that will debut with Qualcomm’s latest and greatest mobile chip, along with a sizeable RAM capacity.
Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro Spotted in Early Benchmarks
The Chinese tech giant’s new premium tablet surfaced in the popular benchmarking platform carrying the 25091RP04C model number. Looking at its CPU scores, the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro received a score of 2967 points in the single core test, while it achieved 9485 points in the multi core test. This tablet achieved such a high score thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. Furthermore, Xiaomi’s flagship tablet also offers 16GB of RAM on at least one variant.
Xiaomi Pad 7s Pro
Apart from this, the only other notable specification revealed on the GeekBench listing was the Android 16 OS. The Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro will likely run the next gen HyperOS 3 custom skin on top of this OS. Unfortunately, this was all the information revealed on the platform. Just last month, both the Xiaomi Pad 8 and Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro surfaced on the 3C certification in China. This hinted at its imminent launch in China and even confirmed support for 67W wired fast charging.
The battery might also have a large capacity of around 10,000mAh. While the display specs are still unknown, a leak from back in July revealed that it may feature an LCD screen once again. So there is no upgrade to OLED in sight. To recall, the Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro had debuted with an 11.2-inch IPS LCD screen with a 144Hz refresh rate.

Lenovo is adding a handy new accessory to its Legion Go lineup—one that aims to solve a couple of everyday annoyances for handheld gamers. The company has quietly introduced the Legion Go 65W 12,800mAh Power Bank, designed to work with the Legion Go, the slimmer Legion Go S, and the newly launched Legion Go 2.
Spotted on Lenovo’s product page, the $79.99 power bank doesn’t just offer extra juice. It doubles as a kickstand, a particularly big deal for the Legion Go S, which lacks a built-in stand unlike its siblings. The design is straightforward: an iron plate sticks to the back of the handheld, the bank snaps on magnetically, and a detachable USB-C cable plugs into the top port. The result—charging on the go, plus a device that can finally prop itself up on a desk.
With a 12,800mAh capacity and up to 65W output, the accessory should comfortably keep sessions running longer, while safety features such as overvoltage and temperature protection add peace of mind. Four arrow-shaped LEDs on the front show remaining charge at a glance. The power bank itself charges at 45W.
The tradeoff? Weight. At around 400 grams, the power bank adds noticeable heft, especially when paired with the Legion Go S, which already tips the scales at 740 grams. Still, for those who value longer battery life and hands-free gaming, the extra bulk might be worth it.
Lenovo hasn’t confirmed availability yet, only noting that the accessory is “coming soon.” When it does land, though, it could quickly become a must-have add-on for Legion Go S owners—and a useful alternative stand option for regular Go and future Go 2 users as well.
It hasn’t even been a full week since the iPhone 17 lineup went on sale, and leaks about Apple’s next flagship are already surfacing. According to a new report from Chinese leaker Setsuna Digital, the iPhone 18 series, due in 2026, could see a smaller Dynamic Island but may still miss out on one of the most anticipated design upgrades.
The leak claims that Apple is working to shrink the Dynamic Island cutout, which currently houses Face ID sensors and the front camera. Instead of eliminating it altogether, Apple may be preparing a more compact version. That would mean no under-display Face ID or camera just yet, despite long-running rumors pointing in that direction.
This lines up with chatter about Apple’s 2026 plans, which could bring other changes to the lineup, and even Apple’s first foldable device. But under-display technology may not arrive until the iPhone 19 or perhaps a special anniversary edition in 2027.
Setsuna Digital does have some credibility, having leaked the iPhone 17’s vapor chamber cooling system correctly, though their track record isn’t flawless. As always, these kinds of early leaks should be taken with a dose of skepticism.
If accurate, the iPhone 18 will represent more of a refinement than a redesign. Apple seems to be taking its time on the transition to a truly all-screen iPhone, while rivals like Samsung continue to push harder into foldables. For now, the smaller Dynamic Island looks like the next step in Apple’s slow march toward a cleaner front display.
Lenovo has announced the Legion R9000P 2025 Ultimate Edition, a high-end gaming laptop designed to deliver flagship-class performance. The new model sits above the standard R9000P 2025 and features AMD’s Ryzen 9 9955HX3D processor paired with Nvidia’s RTX 5080 laptop GPU.
Lenovo Legion R9000P 2025 Specifications
The Ryzen 9 9955HX3D is based on AMD’s Zen 5 architecture and is built on a 4nm process. It features 16 cores and 32 threads, with a maximum single-core boost of up to 5.4GHz. The processor includes 144MB of cache and supports 125W sustained power draw.

Lenovo uses its second-generation Qiankun Ultra cooling system to handle the combined 275W performance output. The system includes upgraded Falcon 2.0 fans, a custom vapor chamber, and dedicated cooling for memory and SSDs.
The laptop features a 16-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2560 × 1600, a refresh rate of 240Hz, and a response time of 0.08ms. The screen supports Dolby Vision, DisplayHDR True Black 1000 certification, Nvidia G-Sync, and AMD FreeSync Premium. It also reaches up to 1100 nits peak brightness and covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut with a Delta E of less than 1.
Lenovo includes 32GB of DDR5-5600 memory and a 1TB PCIe 5.0 SSD, with support for dual M.2 expansion. The laptop offers Wi-Fi 7 with 320MHz bandwidth, a 2.5GbE Ethernet port, USB-C with DisplayPort 2.1 and 140W charging, HDMI 2.1, USB-A ports, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
The R9000P Ultimate Edition comes with a TrueStrike 2.0 keyboard that features per-key RGB lighting, a large touchpad, and a four-speaker audio setup powered by Nahimic.

Xiaomi looks set to shrink its latest smartwatch for the global market. According to a leak from Roland Quandt, the Watch S4 41mm—a smaller companion to the 47mm version already sold in China—is tipped to debut on September 24, the same day Xiaomi unveils its new 15T and 15T Pro smartphones.
The Watch S4 series was first shown at MWC 2025 with the larger 47mm model. A few months later, Xiaomi added the 41mm edition in China, offering a more compact design for those who find the original too bulky. While the Chinese version recently received a refresh with the Xring T1 chipset, it’s not yet clear if that update will carry over to international models.
The global 41mm model is expected to feature a 1.32-inch AMOLED display, a 320mAh battery, and support for HyperOS 3, Xiaomi’s latest software platform. Health and fitness tracking is still at the core, with heart rate, SpO2, sleep monitoring, and several workout modes included. Notifications, music controls, and interchangeable straps round out the package.
Pricing has been tipped at around €159.99 (roughly $188) in the Eurozone, which would make it competitive with Samsung’s Galaxy Watch FE. The design remains fairly premium, thanks to a stainless steel case, though Xiaomi hasn’t confirmed which finishes or strap options will be available outside China.
If the leak holds true, the smaller Watch S4 will give Xiaomi’s smartwatch range a more versatile lineup, appealing to users who want a lighter, more discreet option without losing core features. With the September 24 event just around the corner, we won’t have long to see where it lands in Xiaomi’s growing wearable ecosystem.
Honor is preparing to expand its tablet lineup with the upcoming MagicPad 3 Pro. But this tablet won’t be alone as the brand as is apparently working on a new compact tablet as well. The Magic 3 Pro could debut soon, with the MagicPad Mini following soon after.
Honor MagicPad 3 Pro Coming Soon along with a Rumored MagicPad Mini
The company has teased that it is planning on launching a MagicPad 3 Pro in the Chinese market soon. Honor’s new high end tablet was seen at an event in the brand’s home market. This will likely be a large tablet similar to the previously unveiled MagicPad 3. To recall, the MagicPad 3 arrives with a tall 13.3-inch LCD display with a 3.2K resolution, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and a massive 12,450mAh battery. All of these hefty specs were packed in a slim 5.79mm body.
Honor MagicPad 3
So we can expect the MagicPad 3 Pro to offer either a larger display or an OLED panel (with high resolution). The chipset may be a more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite, although finer details are still at large. Based on the recent sighting, it could be released sometime before the end of this year.
On the other hand, known tipster Digital Chat Station claimed that a new compact tablet is also in the works.

Nothing‘s CMF has started rolling out a new software update for the CMF Phone 2 Pro. The firmware version is Nothing OS V3.2-250903-2153 and it brings system improvements along with camera optimizations.
The rollout is phased, so not all users will receive the update at the same time. This method helps the company track any issues and maintain a stable release.
One of the main changes is better power management during WhatsApp video calls, which should reduce battery drain. The update also improves system stability and network performance, making the device more reliable in daily use.
Camera performance has been refined as well. CMF says the update reduces heating when using the camera in WhatsApp, which should make the phone more comfortable during longer sessions. It also improves image clarity in some Facebook camera scenarios, fixing earlier problems with inconsistent quality.
During the installation process, the device may use more power and run slightly hotter than usual. CMF confirms this is temporary and the phone will return to normal once the update is complete.
The update is now rolling out to CMF Phone 2 Pro units and will reach all users in the coming days. Those who want to check manually can go to the system settings menu and look for new updates.
Realme has officially launched the Realme P3 Lite in India, and it’s shaping up to be one of the best budget smartphones of 2025. For under Rs 11,000, the company packs this device with a capable mid range MediaTek chipset, massive 6,000mAh battery pack, an ultra smooth display, and a slim design. So here’s why this is such a great entry level phone.
Realme P3 Lite: What makes it special?
The Chinese brand just announced the Realme P3 Lite with a 6.67-inch IPS LCD panel that has an HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it is equipped with the Dimensity 6300 SoC, which previously powered older mid range phones. So this model is more powerful than a typical entry level smartphone. This chip is paired with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

Huawei is making a big change in the leadership of its in-house chip design arm, HiSilicon. According to a report from SCMP, Jeffery Gao, who previously led HiSilicon’s Shanghai division, has been promoted to chairman of the unit, replacing long-time leader Eric Xu.
Xu, who has been with Huawei since the early days and has guided HiSilicon since 2008, is currently serving as Huawei’s rotating chairman. Xu took the role in April and is expected to hold it until the end of September.
And for those unaware, the rotating chairman is one of the top leaders in the company’s rotating management system, holding the position of the company’s foremost leader for a six-month term
As for Gao, he is a graduate of Southeast University in Nanjing. He joined Huawei in 2012 and worked on the company’s transmission and router products before taking over HiSilicon’s optoelectronics department in 2019. According to Chinese corporate records, Gao also now serves as HiSilicon’s legal representative, a role previously held by Xu.
Huawei hasn’t commented on the reasons for the shift. SCMP states that the change could either be due to the tradition of the company’s rotating chairman or a deeper restructuring of its semiconductor strategy. What’s clear, though, is that HiSilicon is once again in the spotlight after years of working under the cloud of US sanctions.
HiSilicon makes the Kirin processors for Huawei smartphones, as well as the Ascend chips for AI and data centers. After years of silence, Huawei openly referenced a Kirin chip (the Kirin 9020) during the launch event for its Mate XTs foldable in August.
On the AI front, its Ascend line has become a domestic alternative to Nvidia’s offerings, attracting interest from Chinese AI firms such as DeepSeek.
Apple has always had its own way of talking about battery life. Instead of listing the actual milliamp-hour (mAh) numbers like most phone makers, it simply states the hours of video playback as the main benchmark.
That usually leaves people waiting for teardowns to uncover the real specs. But thanks to EU regulations requiring more transparency, Apple’s German product pages now reveal the precise battery capacities of the new iPhone 17 family.
Confirmed battery sizes for the iPhone 17s thanks to the required energy label for Germany:
iPhone 17: 3692 mAh iPhone 17 Pro: 4252 mAh 17 Pro Max: 5088 mAh iPhone Air: 3149 mAh
It seems like in germany we're getting the eSIM version after all?? 🤔
Here’s the breakdown. The standard iPhone 17 comes in with a 3,692mAh battery, the 17 Pro gets a bump to 4,252mAh, and the 17 Pro Max leads the pack with a massive 5,088mAh cell. Sitting at the bottom of the chart is the all-new iPhone Air, with just 3,149mAh.
The iPhone Air has the smallest battery of them all for obvious reasons. Apple’s ultra-slim titanium design means it couldn’t fit as large a cell inside.
On paper, that sounds like a big trade-off. But Apple is betting on efficiency to make up the difference. The company says the Air can still push up to 27 hours of video playback, which should cover a full day of use. That’s made possible by the A19 Pro chip, which is designed for power savings, along with Apple’s new N1 networking chip and CX1 modem.
Still, Apple knows some people will want more. That’s why it launched a new MagSafe battery pack built specifically with the Air in mind. The add-on snaps to the back, boosts battery capacity by 65 percent, and pushes total video playback time up to around 40 hours. It also supports 12W fast charging and comes with Apple’s smart battery management system to balance performance and longevity.
