iPhone 17, 17 pro and 17 pro max: Apple shares all autonomy, and it’s disappointing

The announcement of the iPhone 17, 17 pro and 17 pro max Arrived with good news for autonomy: larger batteries. A change induced by the optimization of the space won thanks to the abandonment of the SIM drawer … but not in all countries. Indeed, France is not entitled to versions Esim-onlywhich limits the autonomy gain of this generation.

All the autonomy of the iPhone 17, 17 pro and 17 pro

Who says iPhone 17 With SIM drawer, said smaller batteries compared to the versions that only opted for ESIM-United States, Bahrain, Canada, Guam, Japan, Kuwait, Mexico, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Apple thus announces very different autonomies between these two variants, and France is confined to the worst:

• iPhone 17 pro max:
  • With SIM drawer – up to 37 hours of video playback and 33 hours of video streaming
  • Without – up to 39 hours and 35 hours
• iPhone 17 pro:
  • With SIM drawer – up to 31 hours of video playback and 28 hours of video streaming
  • Without – up to 33 hours and 30 hours
• iPhone 17:
  • With SIM drawer – up to 30 hours of video playback and 27 hours of video streaming
  • Without – until 30 am and 27 hours

We therefore have a difference of two hours of autonomy between the versions with SIM drawer and Esim-only iPhone 17 pro and 17 pro max, while that of the standard model has no change. It would therefore be necessary to wait for a future generation for this profit to finally export to Europe.

But it’s still much better compared to the iPhone 16

A disappointment which is still to be reduced, since the autonomy of the iPhone 17 taking care of the physical SIM is still better than that of iPhone 16. Apple data indeed show the following gains:

• iPhone 17 pro max: +4 hours in video playback and +4 hours in video streaming
• iPhone 17 pro: +4 hours and +6 hours
• iPhone 17: +8 hours and +9 hours

Enough not to disappoint consumers who are not entitled to the ESIM 17 versions of the iPhone 17, even if we would have liked to taste the maximum autonomy boost allowed by the latter now.
