iPhone 17 Air battery life might not suck, according to iPhone 16e

Apple's super-thin iPhone will likely have a small battery, but its endurance could be pretty good after all.

Any time a product promises to be thin and light, I immediately assume the battery life won't be worth writing home about. It's designed from the ground up to be easier to control for Apple in order to maximize power efficiency, similar to the company’s M series processors in the Mac and iPad. What's more, Apple is also rumored to include a new chip that will combine Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for better efficiency, so the 17 Air may wind up keeping a charge for awhile after all.
