Overview

• After 10 days of use, Android Central calls the iPhone Air one of the reviewer's favorite phones of 2025 for its ultra‑thin, light in‑hand feel, echoing 9to5Mac's praise that the 6.5‑inch size feels manageable thanks to the slim profile.
• The display is a 6.5‑inch OLED LTPO panel with ProMotion 120Hz and 1Hz low‑refresh capability, described as the same core panel as iPhone 17 Pro but slightly larger.
• Core hardware includes Apple's A19 Pro chip and a C1X modem supporting 5G, Wi‑Fi 7, and Bluetooth 6.0, whereas the Pro models pair an N1 chip with a Qualcomm cellular modem.
• Apple sells the iPhone Air as eSIM‑only to save internal space, and the review reports a smooth setup experience when moving a number to eSIM.
• Battery capacity is 3,149mAh with the reviewer needing evening top‑ups under heavy use, and the single 48MP rear camera limits flexibility even as the 18MP front camera earns praise.
