Apple prepares iPhone 17 launch with thinner design

Apple set to launch thinner iPhone 17 lineup amidst sales struggles, prioritising design over battery life with lower capacities
– Apple and Samsung are prioritising thinner devices, risking battery life to boost sales.
– iPhone Air prices will remain similar to iPhone 16, but battery capacity may be reduced.
The pricing for the iPhone Air is expected to remain similar to the iPhone 16 line-up, around $899 to $949.
However, the thinner design may result in a reduced battery capacity of 2800mAh, down from the iPhone 16’s 3561mAh.
Sales Challenge
Apple aims to attract consumers prioritising design and portability. Meanwhile, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge also reduces battery size. Both companies faced stagnant sales last year, as noted by Counterpoint Research, with Xiaomi emerging as the fastest-growing brand.
Apple is likely to maintain its pricing strategy, mitigating tariff impacts from the Trump administration.
Recent investments in US manufacturing are expected to shield the company from price hikes, despite competitive pressures in markets like China.
Apple is not expected to announce updates for Siri at this launch. Alongside new iPhones, the company may introduce updates for its Watch Series and AirPods.

Trump gives Hamas ultimatum for Gaza peace plan acceptance
Trump gives Hamas deadline to accept Gaza peace plan amid rising pressure from Arab states and ongoing conflict in the region
Trump gives Hamas deadline to accept Gaza peace plan amid rising pressure from Arab states and ongoing conflict in the region
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.
Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.
A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.
The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.
Pressure Mounts
Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.
Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
