"Moments earlier, Apple's thinnest iPhone evera 5.6mm glass and titanium metal sandwich that makes the previous thinnest iPhone, the 6.9mm iPhone 6, look fat by comparisonhad flown out of my hands and fallen onto its screen, just as I pulled it out of my pocket. The good news is that the iPhone Air was largely undamaged. There were a few very minor scuffs on the corners, but the 6.5-inch display was scratch-free."
"As I walked to the subway station, I attached the new MagSafe Battery pack to the iPhone Air and nodded at how the accessory gave it a little more heft for a better grip. The iPhone Air needed recharging, anyway. Its battery was down to 17% after a day of normal usage. iPhone Air Apple's thinnest phone ever is a marvel of engineering, but it comes with tradeoffs to the camera and battery life that may not be acceptable for everyone."
"There's no dispute that the iPhone Air is a marvel of engineering. Nearly all screen and battery, the device, which starts at $999, feels like the closest thing to holding a sheet of glass in your hand. Without a case or battery pack, it's so thin and slippery that I didn't foresee it soaring through the air like a frisbee."
The iPhone Air measures 5.6mm and uses a glass-and-titanium construction that feels like holding a sheet of glass. The device proved surprisingly durable in a drop, sustaining only minor scuffs while the 6.5-inch display remained scratch-free. The extreme thinness and light weight make the phone slippery and easy to drop without a case or MagSafe battery pack, which adds useful heft. Performance matches Pro-level chips, but the phone sacrifices camera versatility with a single camera and delivers good but not great battery life. The model starts at $999 and is neither the best value nor the most feature-packed in the lineup.
