Apple iPhone Air review: What I like and what I don't

IPhone Air in hand.

The iPhone Air (from $999) represents the first major shake-up to the iPhone family in years. The Air replaces the iPhone 16 Plus in Apple’s lineup, but it really stands on its own as a completely new device. In fact, the iPhone Air really feels like a blueprint for the future as Apple nears the 20th anniversary of the original iPhone.

Measuring 5.6mm, the iPhone Air is the thinnest phone in the world that’s not a foldable and yet it feels very sturdy thanks to its titanium frame. I’ve literally tried to bend and break this handset, and it stayed intact. The Air doesn’t skimp on performance either, packing an A19 Pro chip for playing demanding games and taking advantage of Apple Intelligence.
