"Suddenly, I didn't want to let the Air go. It's amazing how a couple of grams and a slimmer profile can drastically change the feel of a phone. There isn't much to grab on the edges, but the Air's design is whimsical and somewhat paradoxical. It feels like a twig that can snap in a heartbeat, but the sturdy titanium frame dispels any notion of fragility."
"I was prepared to hate the iPhone Air. Why make a thin phone with lackluster battery life? A single-camera system for $999? After spending some time with it, I'm pleasantly surprised. I still don't think most people should buy it -it's for early adopters who want to experience Apple's thinnest iPhone to date-but it's a promising blueprint of what's to come."
The iPhone Air measures 5.6 millimeters thick and weighs 165 grams, making it significantly slimmer and lighter than the 17 Pro. The titanium frame provides surprising rigidity despite the slim profile. The phone uses a bright OLED display with 120-Hz refresh rate and delivers strong performance and reliable cellular connectivity. Battery life is better than expected but may be lackluster for some users. The single rear camera limits photographic versatility. The phone lacks mmWave 5G and uses USB 2 data transfer, while a localized hotspot of heat can be noticeable. The high $999 starting price positions it as an early-adopter device rather than the best value.
