The iPhone Air is here – and it packs the processor of an iPhone 17 Pro, but not the camera

The long-anticipated iPhone Air is no longer the stuff of tech myths and rumors. During a landslide of new Apple gear announced during the September 09 event, Apple unveiled its thinnest iPhone yet. The Apple iPhone Air is just 5.6mm thick and packs in the same new A19 Pro Apple Silicon as the iPhone 17 Pro. The camera on the new iPhone Air, however, is another story.

Where Apple’s Pro series packs in three cameras on the rear, the iPhone Air tries to pack more features into a single rear camera. While the specs list just the one rear camera, Apple says the camera still has the capabilities of four different lenses. That’s thanks to a 2x optical zoom and the option for 48MP or 24MP photos.
