One of the biggest announcements Appleov “AVSE DROPPING “SPECIAL EVENT occupies the smallest amount of space. After a few months of the rumor, the company has discovered iPhone AirSo far, it is full of the highest iPhones. In 5.6 mm thin, it is one of the world’s best phones, a measure of less than 5.8 mm Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge.
Despite its slender profile, the iPhone Air pack is packed. Its 6.5-inch screen is slightly higher than 6.3-inch Iphone 17 and iPhone 17 pro. It has a screen for promotion with refresh rate 120Hz, titanium design and Apple’s new End A19 Pro processor.
At $ 999, Apple clearly positions iPhone AIR as stopping between 799 iPhone 17 and $ 1,099 iPhone 17 Pro. However, despite its characteristics, I can’t see the iPhone Air. Here’s why.
Do not miss any of our impartial technological content and laboratory criticism. Add the CNet as a preferred Google Source.
One rear camera is simply not enough
Apple has made some hardware compromises with iPhone Air to reduce the device. IPhone Air has only one back camera instead of two, which is less than the basic iPhone and fit $ 599 iPhone 16e. It is not a bad camera in any way; It has a 48-megapixel fusion camera system that allows focus length 28 mm and 35 mm, as well as 2K telephoto shots.
Despite Apple’s claim that this individual camera can do the work of two, I remain unconvinced.
Since 2017. I have had a double camera and iPhone and I don’t think I can only return once a lens. I understand that iPhone Air offers an intelligent sensor that imitates that look looks 2k zoom.
But in everyday use I think I would miss an ultravid camera, especially when I take macro shots. I’m taking a lot of food photos (don’t judge me), and it’s just something I’m used to it. I’m not sure if one-camera Iphone will get me the same level of detail and it’s a compromise I’d rather not make only for the thinner form.

Battery life concern
The second main concern I have with the iPhone Air is its battery life. The potential Majora donkey Skinnier phone is a small battery. According to Apple, the iPhone Air has an advanced Apple Silicon that delivers “all-day battery life.” The company also says that the flexible power function in IOS 26 could help adjust the iPhone based on the use pattern, thus preserve the battery life.
However, none of this helps reduce my overall battery anxiety with a rogue phone. I am the kind of person who likes my phone battery to be as much as possible (although I don’t always have the best practice of battery life), and I wouldn’t wear it around an additional motor bank if it is unnecessary.
For me, slightly cheese is worth peace for the peace of additional battery life. If the battery life is for iPhone for iPhones approximately the same as the base iPhone, then I could change the melody, but for now, color me skeptical.
The fact that Apple already sells thin Magsafe Battery for $ 99 to follow iPhone Air, story. Such kills the point to start the thin phone.
I’m just a skinny phone
I’m sorry, but 5.6 mm is just too skinny. A few weeks ago I had a privilege to play around with Edge Samsung Galaxy S25, and even it was too easy for my tastes. Skinny mobile phones look too fragile to me, even if they are supposedly quite durable. I always feel like I’ll jump him in half. On top of that, that big camera at the top of the iPhone only looks a bit ugly in contrast to the rest of the slender profile.
No matter how skinny phone is, I would not ignore the case at all, denying her slim anyway. I even add to Heft my phone by fastening the popsocket, which increases my thickness and gives me an extra sense of security that the phone will not fly out of my hands. To be fair, I tend to wear a phone in a bag, not in my pants pocket, so I don’t feel the need for a thinner. Honestly, I’m not even sure if it’s Has anyone even really asked for this.

It all comes down to the price
The iPhone Air is appreciated to 999 USD, which is more expensive than 799 iPhone 17 and cheaper than $ 1,099 iPhone 17 Pro. Of course, iPhone Air has a slightly larger screen and faster processor, but in almost every other respect, the basic iPhone 17 is a better deal. It has two cameras in relation to one, bigger battery and, it costs $ 200 again. There is no point in me why I wouldn’t just get the basic model.
Meanwhile, iPhone 17 Pro is only $ 100 more, but it brings significant benefits, such as a third camera and a much larger battery. If you can afford it, iPhone 17 Pro may actually be worth more.
It seems like an iPhone Air Apple looked into the future. It is clear that the stage for the world in which physical SIMs will be completely eliminated, and is potentially on melting a folding iPhone.
But that doesn’t mean I have to buy it, at least, not now.
