This sleek iPhone model is extremely light which has forced the company to ditch the regular SIM slot altogether and just about retained the USB C port.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">But the sleek design comes at the cost of a smaller battery which is claimed to deliver all-day battery life which we are not sure it can support. So, Apple has decided to bring a new accessory priced well over Rs 10,000 so that the sleek iPhone Air can get long support. And you know the best part, it only works with the new model.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><strong>iPhone Air Battery Pack: Why So Sleek<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Making a sleek phone comes at a heavy price, and going by the results of another sleek device with a slim battery, we can\u2019t be sure of how the iPhone Air performs. And to be fair, Apple is indirectly making that point clear with the launch of the MagSafe battery pack which can only work on the Air model.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/09\/iPhone-Air-battery-pack-2025-09-f505aa443e9e5f25aa3c50e400cdeccc.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Yes, the new iPhone 17 series does not support this pack which is designed in such a way that you can only attach it behind the iPhone Air. The details have been clearly mentioned on the product page, where the compatibility only has iPhone Air. Having a battery pack as an accessory is smart, and gives buyers the choice to invest in one, especially if they plan to pick up the Air model.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">But here\u2019s the thing, if you use the pack, the size of the iPhone Air is neither light nor sleek. It becomes a brick like any other iPhone out there, including the new iPhone 17 Pros.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The new battery accessory reminds us of the Apple cleaning cloth, and priced at Rs 11,900, the Air MagSafe unit feels like a luxury that many might add to the cart, just to avoid battery anxiety. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-4231723710 artcta\">\n<div style=\"font-family:Inter;font-size:17px;line-height:28px\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Get latest technology updates, including phone launches, gadget reviews, AI advancements.
