Apple iPhone Air Review – GSMARENA.com Test

Introduction and Springs

The famous Air Series eventually arrived in Iphoneland. An important opportunity is Apple once considered the name worth and “17.” Left After two less than successful experiences with mini and plus models, Apple is still looking for the right formula that will help him properly enhance its flagship smartphone series appeal. Can the design -based air trick?

Although the iPhone inherits the slot of the plus between the air vanilla and the pro models, it is a very different suggestion, it is not a successor in any way. On the one hand there is much more common in the air with Pro models, with its promotion display and A19 Pro chip set, not to mention the $ 100/€ 100 higher price tags than Plus. There is also a titanium frame and a unique design that already plays this year’s supporter.

On the other hand, the camera setup is close to the iPhone 16 E near the iPhone 17 and the battery size is the smallest in the entire range. So it is clearly targeting very different audiences. Here is a cheating sheet:

At a glance Apple iPhone Air Springs:

Another way to try to expand the iPhone airline up appeal is to offer the third screen size option – its 6.5 “panel slot is between iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max.

But as its name is clear, the key sale point of the iPhone air is its ridiculous body, which is in the thickness of 5.6 mm and the scales have to tip only 165 grams. It is a hair thin and is only two grams heavier than Samsung’s Uber-Salem’s rival, S25 Edge.

Single camera in the back is a huge pain point, but Apple believes it will be enough for users who are not demanding photography. In addition, there is a new 18 MP selfie camera with a modern octal sensor, which can be more important for some of them.

Apple was never going to commit the Space Race Game, but the iPhone Air 3,149 mAh battery continues to some extent. But perhaps the company will sprinkle the magic of its correction and squeeze a reasonable endurance from this limited package.

But quite speculative, let’s take a look inside the box and see how good the iPhone air is really and if Apple is really here.

Apple iPhone Air to Inboxing

The iPhone air ships to a super thin paper box. The icon on the cover is also different – while the other three phones have their own back picture, here you get the sideview.

The box contains a useful item – a USB -c cable for charging and data. There is not even a SIM ejection pin because there is no physical SIM slot in the air.
