iPhone 17: Ambitious Upgrades Amid Design Challenges
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Forbes

The new substrate material for the battery, crucial for achieving a slimmer design, is unlikely to be available by the 2025 launch. This forces Apple to consider compromises in battery capacity, durability, or display quality. The demand for a thinner iPhone remains uncertain, as previous models with unique form factors have struggled with sales.
