Apple and Samsung's Ultra-Thin High-Density Battery Projects Fail, iPhone 17Air/Galaxy S25Slim May Get "Thicker"

IT Home, November 11th - According to sources Jukanlosreve and yeux1122, Apple and Samsung have both failed to develop ultra-thin high-density batteries. Both companies previously attempted to utilize these batteries in their flagship iPhone 17Air/Galaxy S25Slim phones, but the project's failure means these models may become thicker.

Regarding the iPhone 17Air, Apple will now use the same battery technology as its existing phones. Sources indicate that after the failure of the ultra-thin high-density battery development, the iPhone 17Air will exceed 6 mm in thickness. For comparison, IT Home learned that the Apple iPhone 16 is 7.8 mm thick.

This means the iPhone 17Air will be slightly thinner than the iPhone 16, but still thicker than anticipated for an ultra-thin phone. This also means Apple may need to make adjustments in other areas, such as body design or functions, to compensate for the increased thickness.

Regarding Samsungs Galaxy S25Slim, the exact thickness is currently unknown, but it is likely to be similar to that of its Apple competitor. This means Samsung may also face challenges similar to Apple, needing adjustments in other areas to ensure the new model's competitiveness.

Ultra-thin high-density battery technology has always been a goal for smartphone manufacturers, allowing for thinner phones without sacrificing battery capacity. However, the development of this technology is extremely challenging, and no manufacturer has yet managed to successfully apply it to mass-produced phones.

The failure of Apple and Samsung's ultra-thin high-density battery projects also reflects the difficulty of this technology. It remains unknown if smartphone manufacturers will be able to overcome technical hurdles and apply ultra-thin high-density batteries to mass-produced phones in the future.

For consumers seeking the ultimate in thinness, the news of the iPhone 17Air/Galaxy S25Slim becoming "thicker" may be disappointing. However, it also signifies that smartphone manufacturers are continuously exploring and experimenting with new technologies, which could lead to exciting breakthroughs in the future.
