Apple has indeed unveiled its latest innovation – the iPhone Air, a groundbreaking device unlike any of its predecessors. Having experienced firsthand the unveiling event in Cupertino, California, I can confirm that this super slim and lightweight smartphone is set to make a lasting impression on tech enthusiasts.
The iPhone Air boasts an astonishing thickness of just 5.6mm, making it the slimmest iPhone ever produced by Apple and even thinner than Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge. Holding this device in your hand gives a sense of its remarkably light and slender build, enhancing its user-friendly appeal.
Constructed with Titanium and Apple’s cutting-edge Ceramic Shield 2 glass, the iPhone Air is engineered to withstand rigorous usage and surpasses Apple’s stringent bend strength standards. Its durability is expected to outshine previous iPhone models, offering users a robust and reliable device.
Powering the iPhone Air is the formidable A19 Pro chip, similar to the processor found in top-tier iPhone 17 Pro models. This high-performance processor ensures seamless operation for everyday tasks and delivers impressive gaming capabilities on the go. Additionally, the device incorporates Apple’s N1 silicon for enhanced wireless connectivity, enabling fast Wi-Fi 7 and improved Bluetooth 6 functionality.
Despite its impressive features, the iPhone Air features a single rear camera, forgoing additional lenses for a sleek design. However, the 48MP Fusion camera system promises a range of photographic options, including various focal lengths and portrait mode, along with 4K video recording with Dolby Vision support.
While Apple guarantees all-day battery life, the thinner design of the iPhone Air accommodates a smaller battery compared to other iPhone models. This may result in slightly shorter battery longevity, particularly when compared to the iPhone 17 Pro. To address concerns, Apple will offer a portable power pack accessory for extended usage.
Lastly, the iPhone Air comes with a price tag of £999, positioning it above the standard iPhone 17 priced at £799. For those seeking a combination of innovation, style, and performance, the iPhone Air presents a compelling choice in the smartphone market.
