Precise soldering and new adhesives are said to allow easier disassembly. But these improvements seem quite minimal compared to the sacrifice in battery life. Early feedback from forums is unequivocal: <em data-start=\"404\" data-end=\"430\">\u201cIt\u2019s a step backwards,\u201d<\/em> <em data-start=\"431\" data-end=\"483\">\u201cHas Apple forgotten the lessons of the iPhone 5?\u201d<\/em><\/p><p data-start=\"485\" data-end=\"832\">Apple\u2019s strategy raises questions. While competitors like Samsung have shown it\u2019s possible to combine slimness (6.1 mm for the S25 Edge) with a decent battery, the Apple brand is taking a radical path. Who is this for? Aesthetes willing to sacrifice battery life for an ultra-thin device? Or nomads who will have to carry an external battery pack?<\/p><p data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"1156\">If the leaks prove true, the iPhone 17 Air could become a textbook case. Its likely high price will only increase the pressure. Battery life tests will be scrutinized closely. And user reactions in 2026 will say a lot about the market\u2019s real priorities: the beauty of an object or its ability to keep up with us every day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Behind the scenes at Apple, engineers are fine-tuning a device that\u2019s already generating debate: the iPhone 17 Air.
