Apple iPhone Air 512GB

Design

Dimensions and weight: The thinnest iPhone ever made, it measures just 5.64mm thick and weighs 165 grams.

Frame: The chassis is constructed from titanium, providing a balance of strength and light weight.

Durability: It features the new Ceramic Shield 2 on the front for improved scratch and drop resistance, and the first-ever Ceramic Shield on the back.

Colors: The iPhone Air is available in four finishes: space black, cloud white, light gold, and sky blue.

Buttons: It includes the customizable Action button for quick access to a favorite feature. 

Display

Size: The display is a large 6.5-inch (or 6.55-inch according to some reports) Super Retina XDR OLED with a Dynamic Island.

Refresh rate: It supports ProMotion, with an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz for smoother scrolling and visuals. The display can scale down to 1Hz for power efficiency.

Brightness: The screen can reach up to 3,000 nits peak brightness for enhanced visibility in outdoor sunlight. 

Camera

Rear camera: The iPhone Air features a powerful 48MP Fusion main camera system. It can shoot in 48MP for maximum detail but defaults to a 24MP resolution for more manageable file sizes. A built-in 2x telephoto feature uses the same main camera to zoom in on subjects.

Front camera: An 18MP Center Stage front camera includes a new square sensor that allows users to shoot landscape or portrait photos and video while holding the phone vertically. During video calls, the Center Stage feature uses AI to automatically keep subjects framed.

Wireless: It features Apple’s new N1 wireless chip, enabling Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.

Cellular: The device uses Apple’s C1X modem, which is highly power-efficient. It is also an eSIM-only model, globally eliminating the physical SIM card to save space internally.
