Introducing the iPhone Air: Apple’s Thinnest, Most Beautiful iPhone Ever

iPhone Air

Apple today unveiled a new member of the iPhone family: the iPhone Air. This striking new device redefines the concept of a premium smartphone, prioritizing an impossibly thin and light design without compromising on power or features.

A Design That Disappears in Your Hand

The iPhone Air is a testament to Apple’s engineering prowess. At just 5.6mm thin and weighing a mere 165 grams, it’s the thinnest and lightest iPhone ever created. This dramatic reduction in form factor, which has earned it the “Air” moniker, is made possible by a complete internal redesign. The device features a grade 5 titanium frame, which is both incredibly strong and made with 80% recycled material. The front and back are protected by an enhanced Ceramic Shield 2, which offers three times better scratch resistance than previous versions. The result is a phone that feels both delicate and remarkably durable.

Power and Efficiency in a Thin Package

The iPhone Air is powered by the new A19 Pro chip. This is a significant move, bringing the same level of performance found in the Pro models to the Air. The A19 Pro chip, with its neural accelerators built into each GPU core, is designed for on-device AI and offers a substantial leap in performance and efficiency. This, combined with a new Apple-designed C1X cellular modem and N1 wireless networking chip, makes the iPhone Air incredibly power-efficient, allowing for all-day battery life despite its thin profile.

A New Take on Photography

The iPhone Air features a redesigned camera system, centered around a powerful 48MP Fusion Main camera. While it may appear to have a single lens, this “Fusion” technology enables the equivalent of multiple lenses, giving users a range of focal lengths to work with. The new 18MP Center Stage front camera is a major upgrade, using a new square sensor and advanced AI to keep everyone in the frame, making it perfect for group selfies and video calls. The iPhone Air also offers 4K 60fps video recording and a 2x Telephoto lens with an updated Photonic Engine for stunning detail in every shot.

A New Display, A New Experience

The iPhone Air sports a gorgeous 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion technology, offering a silky-smooth 120Hz refresh rate. With a peak brightness of 3,000 nits, the display is exceptionally vibrant and easy to view in any lighting condition. The new display also features an improved anti-reflection coating for better outdoor visibility.

Pricing and Availability

The iPhone Air will replace the “Plus” model in the lineup, sitting above the standard iPhone 17 and below the Pro models. It will be available for pre-order on Friday, September 12, with a starting price of $999. It will be available in four new colors: Space Black, Cloud White, Light Gold, and Sky Blue.
