📱 iPhone Air Review (2025)
✨ Overview
- The iPhone Air is Apple’s thinnest iPhone ever at 5.6mm, weighing just 165g.
- It feels light and futuristic, almost like the spiritual successor to the original MacBook Air (2008).
- Price in India: ₹1,19,900.
- Release date: 9th September 2025.
This phone is less about specs and more about design innovation — showing what Apple can do with ultra-thin devices.
🏗️ Design
- Thickness: 5.6mm → much thinner than regular iPhones.
- Weight: 165g → lighter than most wallets.
- Build: Titanium frame + Ceramic Shield 2 (front and back).
- SIM: No SIM tray, only eSIM.
- Camera bump: Also houses processor and speaker.
- Compromise: Only single speaker (no stereo).
👉 Design focus = minimalism, thinness, and durability.
📺 Display
- Size: 6.5-inch LTPO OLED.
- Refresh Rate: 120Hz (first time all iPhones get it, not just Pro models).
- Brightness:
- Peak: 3000 nits claimed, ~1900 nits tested.
- Minimum: 1 nit (great for bedtime use).
- HDR: Dolby Vision, HDR10.
- Extra: New anti-reflective coating (not as good as Samsung’s).
👉 Overall: Excellent screen, great brightness, perfect for movies and gaming.
⚡ Performance
- Chipset: A19 Pro.
- RAM: 12GB.
- Storage: NVMe (fast).
- Connectivity: N1 wireless (Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6), C1X modem (5G).
Benchmark Scores:
- AnTuTu: 2,027,514.
- Geekbench: 3,653 (single), 9,365 (multi).
- 3DMark: 3,477 (lower than Pro Max).
👉 In real-world use:
- Games like BGMI, COD Mobile, and Genshin run smoothly at 60FPS.
- Handles daily tasks easily without heating.
- Performs like a flagship, just with shorter thermal endurance.
🔋 Battery & Charging
- Capacity: 3,149 mAh (smallest in iPhone 17 series).
- Claim: 27 hours video playback.
- Tested: ~21 hours (loop test).
- Screen-on time: ~5 hours (average use).
- Charging:
- 0–100% in 1.5 hours.
- MagSafe limited to 20W (others get 25W).
👉 Enough for a full day, but not for power users. Apple sells a MagSafe battery pack, but that cancels out the thinness.
📸 Cameras
- Rear: 48MP main (OIS).
- Front: 18MP selfie (OIS, PDAF).
- No ultra-wide or telephoto.
Performance:
- Daylight: Sharp, natural colours, great detail.
- HDR: Balanced, doesn’t over-process.
- Portraits: Smooth, realistic blur.
- Selfies: Wide field, natural skin tones.
- Low light: Decent but weaker than Pro models.
- Video: 4K 60fps with Dolby Vision HDR → excellent quality.
👉 Simple setup, not flashy, but very reliable.
✅ Verdict
The iPhone Air is:
- Not for everyone → battery is small, no stereo sound, no zoom camera.
- For dreamers → people who value design, lightness, and the “wow” factor.
If you loved the iPhone 4 or 5S because of how they felt, this will remind you of that magic.
👉 In short:
- Buy it for design and experience.
- Skip it if you want long battery life or camera versatility.
