Apple Air: Apple launched the thinnest, lightest, and SIM-less iPhone ever in its mega event. Its name is iPhone Air. The company has launched it in the market for the first time, which was replaced by the Plus model. The company has introduced it with iOS 26. Its thickness is only 5.6mm and 80% recycled titanium has been used in it. Let's know the price and features.
Design and Display: Thinnest iPhone ever!
The biggest feature of the iPhone Air is its thickness, which is only 5.6mm. This makes it the thinnest iPhone ever, which Apple also claims. Its body is made of 80% recycled titanium material, which not only makes it light and strong but also shows Apple's commitment to the environment.
Great display experience!
It has a 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, which comes with a peak brightness of 3,000 nits and ProMotion features. This means that the iPhone Air, like the iPhone 17 models, can run at a 10-120Hz refresh rate depending on the use case, giving a smooth and immersive visual experience.
'Ceramic Shield 2' for safety
For the first time, Ceramic Shield 2 has been given on both the front and back sides of the iPhone Air. According to the company, this makes it four times more crack resistant than before, so that your phone will be safe even if it falls.
eSIM-only service
This is an eSIM-only handset that runs on iOS 26, which keeps pace with future technology.
