iPhone Air is the thinnest iPhone ever, delivering pro performance, amazing new camera systems on the front and back, and fantastic all-day battery life.
Meet the all-new iPhone Air — Apple’s thinnest and lightest iPhone yet, combining breakthrough design with powerful performance. Built with a titanium frame and innovative internal architecture, iPhone Air delivers pro-level speed, durability, and all-day battery life in the slimmest form factor ever.
“The all-new iPhone Air is so powerful, yet impossibly thin and light, that you really have to hold it to believe it’s real. This huge leap in design and engineering is only made possible through Apple innovation, especially Apple silicon,” said John Ternus, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Engineering. “iPhone Air is a brand-new member of the iPhone family that delivers advanced features our users will love, like pro performance, a versatile 48MP Fusion camera system, our innovative Centre Stage front camera, and great all-day battery life — all in a breakthrough design that feels like you’re holding the future.”
The breakthrough iPhone Air is perfect for those who want pro performance in an unbelievably thin and light design that’s more durable than any previous iPhone.
Sleek Titanium Design
At just 5.6mm thin, iPhone Air sets a new standard for smartphone design. The aerospace-grade titanium frame is both lightweight and exceptionally strong, finished with a polished mirror surface for a premium look. The precision-milled plateau houses the camera system, speaker, and Apple silicon, optimising internal space for a larger battery.
The 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display offers ProMotion up to 120Hz, an Always-On mode, and a record-breaking 3000 nits of peak outdoor brightness for crystal-clear visibility in sunlight. Both the front and back are protected by Ceramic Shield 2, with 3x better scratch resistance and 4x stronger crack resistance than previous models, making iPhone Air Apple’s most durable slimline iPhone ever.
Pro-Level Camera Systems
The 48MP Fusion main camera delivers the equivalent of four lenses, including 28mm and 35mm focal lengths, powered by a large quad-pixel sensor with sensor-shift OIS for low-light performance. A new 2x Telephoto lens brings optical-quality zoom, while the upgraded Photonic Engine ensures lifelike colour and improved detail.
The 2x Telephoto on iPhone Air has an updated Photonic Engine, which now uses machine learning to capture more lifelike details and colour.
On the front, the 18MP Centre Stage camera introduces the first square sensor in an iPhone, enabling landscape selfies without rotating the phone. AI expands the field of view automatically for group shots, while Dual Capture mode records front and rear cameras simultaneously. Video creators benefit from 4K HDR recording, Dolby Vision at 60fps, Spatial Audio, and wind noise reduction for professional-quality results.
Powered by Next-Generation Apple Silicon
iPhone Air is driven by the trio of A19 Pro, N1, and C1X chips, making it the most power-efficient iPhone ever.
- A19 Pro: Features a 6-core CPU (the fastest in any smartphone) and an upgraded 5-core GPU with Neural Accelerators in every core — ideal for console-grade gaming, advanced AI, and creative workflows.
- N1 chip: Unlocks Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread, ensuring faster and more stable connectivity across AirDrop, Personal Hotspot, and smart home devices.
- C1X modem: Apple’s newest cellular chip, offering 2x faster speeds than C1, superior efficiency, and 30% lower energy use compared to iPhone 16 Pro.
Remarkable All-Day Battery Life
Thanks to its redesigned internal structure, larger battery capacity, and the efficiency of Apple silicon, iPhone Air delivers all-day battery life with ease. A new Adaptive Power Mode in iOS 26 learns user habits and intelligently preserves energy when it predicts lower battery levels, ensuring you stay powered through your busiest days.
eSIM-Only Connectivity
The iPhone Air ditches the physical SIM card in favour of an eSIM-only design, enabling its impossibly slim build. eSIM offers seamless switching between plans, enhanced security, and worldwide carrier support with 500+ networks in 200+ countries. It’s easier than ever to stay connected abroad, whether through roaming packages from home carriers or local prepaid options. And since eSIM cannot be physically removed, it provides stronger security if the phone is lost or stolen.
iOS 26 with Apple Intelligence
Launching with iOS 26, iPhone Air introduces a refreshed Liquid Glass interface that feels modern yet familiar. Apple Intelligence brings new AI-driven capabilities, including:
- Live Translation across Messages, FaceTime, and Phone.
- Visual intelligence tools that let you capture screenshots and take instant actions.
- Offline AI experiences powered by Apple’s on-device foundation model.
- Smarter call and message screening for reduced distractions.
Updates also come to CarPlay, Apple Music, Maps, Wallet, and Apple Games, giving users fresh experiences across the ecosystem.
iOS 26 is a major update with a beautiful new design, including the Lock Screen and Home Screen, making them more personal and expressive than ever.
