Apple iPhone Air is the thinnest iPhone ever at just 5.6 mm and 165 g. Built with a titanium frame and redesigned internals to maximize battery capacity and durability, it features a 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion up to 120 Hz and peak brightness of 3000 nits, protected by Ceramic Shield 2 glass. The camera system includes a 48MP Fusion main camera with 2× telephoto and an 18MP front camera with Center Stage, Dual Capture, and depth-aware portrait features.
Powered by the A19 Pro chip alongside Apple’s new N1 wireless chip (Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, Thread) and the C1X modem, the iPhone Air delivers pro-level performance with efficient connectivity. Battery life reaches up to 27 hours of video playback (40 with the optional MagSafe battery) and supports fast charging to 50% in about 30 minutes. Running iOS 26 with Apple Intelligence, it comes in an eSIM-only design and is available in Sky Blue, Light Gold, Cloud White, and Space Black.
