Apple introduced its long-awaited ultra-sized phone that comes out with the iPhone 17 series, but bears the simpler name iPhone Air. The device has a profile below 6 mm and is thinner than the previously announced Galaxy S25 Edge, but the company also claims to be its strongest smartphone so far. A particularly interesting fact is that the iPhone Air will be available in all markets only in ESIM version and without a physical operator card slot.
The emphasis on the iPhone Air is its design. It has an ultra -tower body of only 5.64 mm and weighing 165 grams, and according to Apple it was achievable because of their progress in mobile processors.
The apparatus is created around a titanium frame with a polished surface, for the first time there is a Ceramic Shield glass on the back and the brand new Ceramic Shield 2 on its display. The case has an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

The iPhone Air uses the brand new and powerful A19 Pro, not the lightweight A19 version as the iPhone 17. There is 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB of internal memory.
The iPhone Air display has a 6.5 “diagonal, OLED panel with a resolution of 2736 x 1260 pixels for the density of points of 460 ppi, up to 3000 nits of peak brightness, anti -glare coating and promotion technology with adaptive refreshing from 1 to 120 hz.

The ultra-thin model has a brand new N1 chip on Apple, which is responsible for connectivity, and also comes with the renovated C1X own modem, which is 2 times faster than C1 in the iPhone 16e and is much more energy efficient than the iPhone 16 Pro modem.
Despite the subtle profile of the phone, Apple promises the battery to last all day. The iPhone Air will also offer an updated external Magsafe magnetic attachment, with which Air will last up to 40 hours watching video.
