iPhone Air — Thinness with Purpose

The iPhone Air pushes Apple’s design and engineering: incredibly thin (5.6mm), titanium frame, A19 Pro chip, 6.5" Super Retina XDR with ProMotion, and a single 48MP rear camera. Starts at $999. It trades extra cameras and a larger display for style, weight savings and a refined in-hand feel. Battery life holds up well (~27 hours video playback spec), and Apple’s MagSafe Battery (3,149mAh) is a handy add-on.

Quick highlights

• Design: Titanium frame, Ceramic Shield 2, IP68, 5.6mm thin, 165g.
• Display: 6.5" Super Retina XDR, up to 3,000 nits, ProMotion 1–120Hz.
• Performance: A19 Pro (5 GPU cores), strong real-world speed, efficient N1 & C1X chips. Note: C1X modem lacks mmWave 5G.
• Camera: Single 48MP rear camera — excellent photos, but no ultra-wide or dedicated telephoto.
• Battery: Solid endurance and fast-ish charging; 30 minutes → ~50% (wired/wireless).

Pros & Cons

Pros: Exceptional design, very light, strong performance, great display.
