"Apple just announced the iPhone Air at its "Awe Dropping" event. At just 5.6 millimeters thick, the iPhone Air is officially Apple's thinnest iPhone ever, even slimmer than the company's ultra-thin M4 iPad Pro. It has 3 times the scratch resistance as the previous glass Apple would use for iPhones, and is made out of recycled titanium. It comes in black, white, gold, and blue."
"The iPhone Air is powered by the A19 Pro chip, which Apple says is the fastest CPU in any smartphone. It's also highly energy efficient compared to the A19 chip that powers the iPhone 17. A new 5-core GPU most notably helps power AI thanks to neural accelerators into each GPU core. Apple calls it MacBook Pro levels of compute, in an iPhone, which it says is perfect for AI workflows."
"The ultra-thin profile of the iPhone Air requires significant engineering concessions. Most notably, the device features a single 48-megapixel "Fusion" camera system, which includes both a main camera and telephoto lens all housed in a horizontal camera bar across the top of the device-a departure from Apple's traditional corner-mounted camera systems. The design eliminates both telephoto and ultrawide cameras, focusing solely on the Fusion camera. Apple says the Fusion camera excels in low light."
The iPhone Air measures 5.6 millimeters thick and uses recycled titanium with three times the scratch resistance of previous iPhone glass. Internal components were precision-milled to fit within the ultra-thin chassis. The device is powered by the A19 Pro chip with a new 5-core GPU featuring neural accelerators, delivering high CPU performance and improved energy efficiency versus the A19. The N1 chip provides WiFi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread support, and a faster C1X modem is included. The phone uses a single 48-megapixel Fusion camera housed in a horizontal bar, drops separate telephoto and ultrawide modules, and adds a new Center Stage front camera and simultaneous front-and-rear video recording.
