Welcome to the era of thin smartphones (whether you want it or not)

We knew it was coming, and now here. As thick iPhone, it is only 5.6 mm thick and has less features than iPhone 17, which is $ 200 cheaper. Certainly, it’s not the first redemption of Slimline for a major smartphone – Samsung overcoming Apple With Galaxy S25 Edge earlier This year – but the Apple effect cannot be reduced. It is too early to know if iPhone Air will shake smartphones as MacBook Air did with laptops, but it is definitely a safer development. Hey, iPhone air may just stop the road to the first Apple foldable.

Let’s go back to 2008. With MacBook Air, Apple cleared the visual drive and many ports, which led to its withdrawal from the Steve Jobs from the Manila envelope when it was first detected. The first business administration had some issues. He was suffering from a lack of strength, used a small and slow hard drive and was very terrible. But Apple has improved the formula, which led to countless laptops and even a new category, UltraPortable.

Unfortunately, Apple has not discovered a distinctive way to reveal the iPhone Super Slim. In fact, I brought him down in a carefully prepared marketing video, and it is assumed that he is trying to show how confidence in the IPHONE air. But it seemed as if Apple was trying to reduce durability in a way that does not really work, because this was just part of carefully marketing promotion.

This is one of the two fears of the insomnia phones: durability. Apple iPhone Air has a recycled Titanium frame – previously the iPhone Pro. Air also has a company shield for the company, which Apple says is now more ammunition than previously 3X than previous versions. Apple seems to have designed a less likely phone. Of course, the company is pleased to file a 1 mm case for the boys between us.

Another anxiety is the battery life. A thinner profile in the smartphone means less space for the battery. Apple claims that the IPHONE AIR internal structure “increases the space for the battery”, but the company does not share specific numbers of the battery capacity. Regardless, Apple says that Aphone Air will offer “battery life all day”, which remains very personal.

Apple has also announced a Magsafe charging package worth a new $ 99 to ensure the IPHONE AIR is able to play the video for up to 40 hours. But it seems that a thicker cushion than the camera unit – with the presence of the two devices combined, is no longer a great smartphone, it’s the iPhone 17 with one camera. The fact that it is absolutely present should give people to stop the longevity of the air.

Also: the old old camera unit. Samsung S25 Edge has a thick body of 5.8 mm, but if you calculate the camera, it will be closer to 10 mm. the IPhone Air is thinner than the edge of S255.6mm. But the “Platau” camera adds a big show on it, although the Apple did not say how thick. If we judge through images, thick weakness may be like the iphone body alone.

Compared to MacBook Air, Air iPhone is unlikely to shake the world of smartphones. While packed with technology PromotionsThere is nothing revolutionary. For example, the iPhone Air still has the USB-C-rumors indicating that it may give up all ports for wireless communications and shipping. This single camera is likely to take great pictures, but the tool may be limited without a customized phone lens – a point you confirmation. S25 Edge tried from Samsung to process this using a 200 -megapixel camera, allowing large digital enlargement by economy.

Despite these possible pitfalls, I am fascinated by how the iPhone Air is. I often returned to the edge of the Galaxy S25 of Samsung, simply due to a lighter profile. The weaknesses of the thin smartphones that you identified here did not lead to a bad phone. Like Sam Radford ReviewIt can be said that the edge of the S25 is a better phone than the S25+.

Are people desperate for the smartphone insomnia? Aphon Air is intelligently pronounced between iPhone 17 ($ 799) and iPhone 17 Pro ($ 1099), and a lack of an overdose may push people towards the air.

I think there is a place for the iPhone atmosphere. It is lighter, it will fit with better pockets and will have all iOS 26 features at a time when new functions of devices have turned into software. Apple tried to address many concerns with excessive phones, but the real test of the height of the battery life and durability will come with a few months of use.
