Apple has lifted the lid on the iPhone Air, a new addition to its lineup measuring just 5.6mm thick. Tim Cook described it as delivering “pro performance in a thin and light design.”
The phone sports a 6.5-inch ProMotion display that hits 120Hz and 3,000 nits peak brightness. Apple says durability is improved with a ceramic shield and titanium frame. Inside, it runs on the new A19 Pro processor, paired with a faster C1x modem and the N1 chip for Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread support.
Battery life is rated for “all day,” with up to 40 hours of video playback. The thin build means only e-SIMs are supported, while adaptive power mode in iOS 26 aims to stretch charge further.
Cameras, accessories, and release
The iPhone Air features a 48MP dual system with a 12MP telephoto lens. A new function combines the front and rear cameras for simultaneous recording, and the 18MP selfie camera includes Center Stage support.
It launches in black, white, beige, and light blue, alongside new accessories like a translucent case, a reinforced bumper, and a cross-body strap. Pricing starts at $999 for 256GB, and the device releases on September 19.
This new iPhone comes alongside the AirPods Pro 3, which Apple has finally released with a new Heart Rate sensor and improved active noise cancelling.
