A Closer Look at the iPhone Air: Specs, Price, and Availability

Apple’s new flagship has been revealed. The iPhone Air is the company’s thinnest smartphone ever, and it’s leading the charge for the iPhone 17 generation. Here’s a detailed look at what you need to know about the new device.
Design and Display: The defining feature is its thinness, measuring just 5.6mm. The body is made of “spacecraft titanium” for a mix of light weight and durability. It sports a large 6.5-inch display, and it comes in a range of new colors designed to “evoke lightness.”
Performance and Features: Despite its slim frame, Apple says the iPhone Air packs the same power as its other phones. This includes a fast-charging battery, the latest Wi-Fi standards, and the same high-speed processor found in the rest of the iPhone 17 line. It also includes the new dual filming camera mode.
Price and Availability: The iPhone Air will start at $999 in the US. Preorders open this Friday. The official in-store release date is scheduled for one week later, on Friday, September 19.
The Bottom Line: The iPhone Air is aimed at users who prioritize cutting-edge design and a premium feel without wanting to compromise on performance or features. It represents Apple’s new standard for flagship smartphone engineering.
