Love is in the Air

WE TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT SUPER-SLIM NEW IPHONE ALONG WITH THE 17 AND PRO 17 MODELS

- JUSTIN CONNOLLY

It's almost as if Apple has designed an iPhone just for me in the Air.

It's almost impossibly thin, in a way that can only be appreciated in the flesh.

It's beautiful and delightful, and even after a month, it makes me smile a little bit every time I get it out of my pocket.

How they made it so thin is somewhat incredible, too all of the phone's innards apart from the battery are housed in the camera bump Apple calls this the plateau which spans the top of the back of the phone.

The most important elements here are the processor - the A19 Pro, which is a screamer, obviously and the camera. This is where the major compromise in the Air can be found. It's just a single unit that is more or less the same as the main camera featured in the iPhone 17 models.

You lose the flexibility of the ultra-wide found on the 17 and 17 Pro, and the third telephoto lens on the 17 Pro.
