2 months agoapple iPhone air debuts as thinnest, feather-light model yet
At its 'Awe-Dropping' keynote today, September 9th, 2025, Apple unveiled the iPhone Air as the thinnest iPhone it has ever made. Just 5.6 millimeters thin (less than a quarter-inch), the phone is crafted with 'spacecraft titanium,' a material that feels feather-light and durable. Despite shedding thickness, the phone is said to hold its ground against wear and daily handling with Ceramic Shield, its glass-ceramic material first introduced on the iPhone 12 lineup in 2020. Now, this material protects both the front and back surfaces.
