Overview

• Apple positions the 5.6 mm–thick, 6.5-inch iPhone Air as its thinnest and lighter-weight titanium iPhone with improved scratch resistance and longer battery life.
• The phone uses a single speaker, with the earpiece doubling as audio output while the holes flanking the USB‑C port serve as microphones.
• Data transfers are limited to USB 2.0 speeds up to 480 MB/s, whereas iPhone 17 Pro models support USB 3.2 Gen 2 up to 10 GB/s.
• Apple rates the Air to reach 50% charge in about 30 minutes and caps MagSafe at up to 20W, both slower than the Pro models’ charging performance.
• An A19 Pro chip with a 5‑core GPU powers the Air, undercutting the 6‑core GPU in Pro models, and hands-on coverage notes the Dynamic Island sits slightly lower to accommodate the thin frame.
