iPhone Air review: The thinnest iPhone ever — 5.6 mm of titanium, one camera, zero apology.
Engineering flex first, camera second.
iPhone Air is Apple proving it can hit 5.6 mm without bending — A19 Pro, titanium, IP68, 120 Hz, all in 165 g. The cost is written on the back: one camera and a small battery. For buyers who value the in-hand feel over a zoom lens it is intoxicating; for everyone shooting wildlife or kids' sport the iPhone 17 Pro is the smarter pick.
