Elegant, elegant to foldable Apple foldable

Apple may not recognize this (at least not yet), but Aphone Air is more than just a diluted version of the company’s latest phone or more advanced in its usual style. It is a very elegant examination of the next folding.

Now this may seem like an extension, and there is something that can be said about the difference between the traditional OLED screen and the vehicle that is supposed to bend. However, the arrival of the iPhone has become one of the technology world The worst secrets. I am still not convinced? Well, look at this. If you are responsible for Apple and faced the task of discovering how to engineer and design the company’s first flexible screen, how can you do this? Will you try that? End the invention of the wheel? No, you will check your competitors to see if there is a formula that you can re -display for your needs. Enter Samsung, which is not one of the largest Apple competitors but also a foldable phone maker already seven generations.

Moreover, if we look at this spring when you released Samsung Galaxy S25 EdgeYou may actually notice some similarities. Just like iPhone air, S25 Edge is a thinner and more elegant phone on Samsung Middle-Child: The S25+. It contains a lot of palaces themselves, such as a smaller battery and a lower number of cameras than you expected on a premium device that costs about $ 1,000.

But the biggest idea that Apple may take a page from the Samsung Playbook book is a thin iPhone Air. The idea of ​​making iPhone is lower with worse specifications without reducing its price is really meaningful in 2025. Unless you do this in preparation for a future product. So if we look at the edge of the S25 again (which is only 5.88 mm thick) then compare it with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 (which came out after only a few months and measures thick 4.2 mm at detection), suddenly an unambiguous pattern begins. The iPhone 17 Air is a foldable semi -folding, and if the rumors are correct, the Apple next year will mainly destroy two of them while adding a joint and a flexible screen. Voila, there is your iPhone (or anything that Apple ends.

Well, sufficient speculation, what about the iPhone’s air itself? In short, this is delicious, delicious in only 5.6 mm. It is really one of those things that you can’t fully appreciate until you hold it in your hand. It contains beautifully polished edges, and although I do not like the term “camera plateau”, there is a lot of engineering that has entered into the creation of the strict slope that rises to meet the rear camera for 48 megapixels.

At the forefront, the air screen looks 6.5 inches colorful and vibrant as you expect, and it is easy to see it gets promotional support as well. For selfie pictures, I really like the new Apple Center Stage, which uses a 18 -megapixel square sensor so that you can smoothly move between the typical image style shots to the landscape images. In addition, if you do not want to control matters manually, there is also an automatic setting that can seriously slow down on future social media images and video.

The bright finish on the titanium frame in the air is somewhat nice, although the Apple did not say that, I may have thought it was a stainless steel. However, in just 165 grams, titanium was one of the few ways to reduce air weight to this limit with increased durability. I also want to add that the Sky Blue is a favorite color for air because, based on light, the color moves from the Bright Robin egg to a more valuable gray. The only negative aspect of its general design is that the structure is a little fingerprint magnet.

However, I still have some remaining questions to be answered after more test. Add the A19 Pro chip and the phone promotion screen should be given a big boost in power efficiency. But it remains to see how the life of the air battery will continue in real life. Apple claims to play a continuous video for up to 27 hours, but it is somewhat knowledge that during the keyword, the company has shown the new elegant Magsafe battery package, which may end in being an supplement to people who pushing their phones strongly.

In addition, from a handful of camera samples that I saw, the rear camera on the iPhone Air has an excellent image quality, although I am still not sure to move to one lens system, even if it supports 4X enlargement.

Regardless, with filling iPhone in the gap in which the standard Plus model is usually, Apple took its traditional middle -child traditional and turned it into the most elegant and elegant phone that the company has ever made. Unfortunately, all this development comes at a slightly higher price of $ 999, up from $ 899 for the iPhone 16 Plus for the past year.

The iPhone Air will start from $ 999 with a storage of 256 GB. Preparation begins on Friday, September 12th, at 8 am EST, followed by official sales scheduled for September 19.
