"Move over, iPhone Plus, here comes your super-slim replacement: the iPhone Air. During Apple's iPhone event on Tuesday, the company unveiled the iPhone Air, its thinnest and lightest model to date. This replaces the Plus model in the company's 2025 lineup, following the underperformance of the iPhone 16 Plus last year, based on data from research firm DSCC. The star of today's event draws inspiration from Apple's MacBook Air strategy, which debuted in 2008 as the thinnest laptop available, positioned between the more affordable MacBook and the higher-quality MacBook Pro."
"The device weighs around 145 grams, thanks to its titanium frame, and measures just over 5.5 millimeters thick. This makes it about 0.08 inches (or slightly over 2 mm) thinner than current iPhones and thinner than Samsung's 5.8mm Galaxy S25 Edge. For a better idea of how thin it is, think about four stacked dimes, which total about 5.4 mm. The phone features a large 6.6-inch display, sporting the same 120Hz ProMotion setup found on the Pro models. It runs on the A19 Pro chip, also just like the new Pro and Pro Max models, providing a performance boost over the base iPhone 17 model. As for the color options, it's available in "space black," "cloud white," light gold, and light blue."
