"At just 5.6 mm thick, the iPhone Air is nearly a third thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro. Although it appears fragile, it's anything but, as Apple designed its mobile device to be just as durable as it is elegant. The smartphone's frame is made of , a material known for its high strength and "corrosion-resistant characteristics." Ceramic Shield protects the back of the iPhone Air, allowing it to better resist damage. On the front, Apple chose to equip the screen with Ceramic Shield 2. Thanks to this material, Apple says the display has "3x better scratch resistance" than previous models and "improved anti-reflection" properties."
"As I mentioned in my iPhone 17 series comparison piece, the iPhone Air isn't as feature-rich as the higher-end models. This may be a controversial opinion, but I think the device's lack of bells and whistles will benefit users as they'll receive a more streamlined experience. For instance, it only has a single 48MP Fusion lens as its rear camera system."
The iPhone 17 lineup introduces major design changes emphasizing both portability and power. The iPhone Air measures 5.6 mm thick, making it nearly a third thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro while retaining durability through a high-strength, corrosion-resistant frame and Ceramic Shield protection. The front uses Ceramic Shield 2, which Apple says provides 3x better scratch resistance and improved anti-reflection. The iPhone Air forgoes many high-end features for a streamlined experience and relies on a single 48MP Fusion rear lens. The iPhone 17 Pro Max prioritizes performance with a cutting-edge camera system and a vapor chamber cooling solution.
