Check out the main impressions of Apple’s new cell phone

The iPhone Air is currently available with a 10% discount on Amazon, starting at $9449.10 (cash via Pix). Up close, the ultra-thin design is striking, measuring 5.6mm thick and packed with electronic components that turn the phone into a pocket computer. The titanium build provides a unique feel in terms of size, weight (165g), and screen usability (6.5 inches). Holding, using, and analyzing the structure of the iPhone Air revealed a slight difficulty in going back to other phones like the iPhone 13, iPhone 16 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. Apple emphasized that the focus of the model goes beyond being just a thin phone and required extra durability to prevent bending or damage in pockets, making it the most resistant smartphone in the brand’s current lineup. The front of the phone features Ceramic Shield 2 for scratch resistance, while the rear is also protected with Ceramic Shield. With internal design optimizations, including cameras, speaker, and silicon concentrated at the top of the device, space was made for a larger battery, enhancing overall performance. The display is a Super Retina XDR 6.5-inch screen with a resolution of 2736 x 1260 pixels and a peak brightness of 1000 nits. The adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz (ProMotion by Apple) ensures smooth transitions between high and low display demands, reducing battery consumption based on usage. The main camera system combines a 48 MP sensor serving as wide and telephoto lens with optical image stabilization and support for high-resolution photos. Zoom capabilities are split between 1x and 2x, offering versatility while maintaining image quality. The 18 MP front camera boasts additional features such as horizontal or vertical capture without physically moving the device, allowing simultaneous front and rear filming through the Dual Capture feature. The battery promises up to 27 hours of video playback, backed by the new Adaptive Consumption Mode in iOS 26 to optimize daily usage. Powered by the A19 Pro chip, the iPhone Air delivers smooth performance with a 6-core CPU and 5-core GPU with Neural Accelerators for enhanced graphics quality. The N1 chip enables advanced wireless connectivity featuring Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread support, while the C1X modem allows 5G usage with optimized battery consumption. With an IP68 certification, the phone is resistant to water damage, dust, and splashes up to six meters deep for 30 minutes, eliminating certain risks associated with conventional models. Unique to the Air series, the phone exclusively supports eSIM technology, omitting the physical SIM card tray for a streamlined design. A standout feature of the iPhone Air is its innovative ultra-thin build, ushering in a new era of technology and efficiency. As testing continues, questions around durability, battery longevity, camera quality, and value proposition over the iPhone 17 will be further explored in forthcoming reviews. Apple has also unveiled the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max models with competitive pricing and exclusive offers for Amazon shoppers.
