Images Show New iPhone 17 Pro Battery with Steel Structure, L Design and Different Versions for US and China
Images of the iPhone 17 Pro battery were released ahead of the official launch, scheduled for September 2025.
The photos reveal a new L-shaped design with a steel structure, similar to what was already adopted in the iPhone 16 Pro.
The most important thing is that the American model does not have a slot for a physical SIM card. This allows for a wider battery and a greater utilization of internal space.

While billion-dollar aircraft carriers remain the ultimate symbol of naval power, drones, fast boats, and mines in the Strait of Hormuz show that controlling trade routes has become a more complex challenge, even for the world’s largest Navy today in narrow strategic areas.

A study by Nature Geoscience already has a date for the end of oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere; the research indicates that the increase in solar luminosity will reduce the CO₂ available for photosynthesis, leading to an abrupt drop in the gas in about 1 billion years.
On the other hand, the Chinese version includes a SIM tray, with an almost identical shape, but adapted to accommodate this feature.
Reinforced Structure
Apple continues to use steel to reinforce the battery and improve heat dissipation.
This choice also increases durability and favors a more efficient fit with the motherboard, which now appears to be positioned at the top of the device.
Additionally, the use of new adhesives, mentioned by production-related sources, should facilitate future battery replacements. This could reduce costs and speed up repairs.
Possible Advancement in Charging
Although there is no confirmation on the charging speed, the new steel chassis may help better control heat.
This opens up space for higher energy levels, as has already occurred in the iPhone 16 Pro.
The analyzed images suggest that Apple is making progress in testing. The prototype appears ready for the final production stage.
The combination of a reinforced structure, regional adaptation, and compact design creates high expectations for the official launch.
The iPhone 17 Pro may maintain the line of the previous generation, but with strategic internal improvements.
