iPhone Air Review: Apple’s Thinnest iPhone Trades Features for Ultra‑Slim Design

A fresh hands-on evaluation underscores deliberate compromises that favor an ultra-thin titanium build over stamina, speed, versatility, and sound.

Overview

  • The review measures the 6.5-inch iPhone Air at 5.6mm and 165g, confirming a strikingly thin, light build that draws immediate attention.
  • The display is a 6.5-inch ProMotion panel rated up to 3,000 nits, delivering smooth scrolling and strong brightness across lighting conditions.
  • Core hardware includes Apple’s A19 chip, a 48MP main camera, an 18MP selfie camera, and Dual Capture for simultaneous front and rear recording.
  • The 3,149mAh battery targets a day of moderate use, with slower 20W MagSafe charging and USB 2 data speeds compared with Pro models.
  • Apple equips a titanium frame and Ceramic Shield 2 for sturdiness but limits multimedia with a single rear lens and mono speaker; pricing in India starts at Rs 1,19,900 for 256GB as it replaces the iPhone 16 Plus.
