iPhone Air Retains Some Air Remaining
In a move to cater to a design-conscious customer base, Apple has launched the iPhone Air, a new addition to their iPhone 17 series. The iPhone Air boasts a slim feel, weighing just 165 grams, and a thickness of 5.64 millimeters, making it significantly thinner than the standard iPhone 17 model.
The iPhone Air features a frame made of titanium, a departure from the aluminum used in the Pro models of the 17 series. This change in material also brings about improved heat conductivity, with titanium conducting heat 20 times better than the previously used aluminum alloy.
Apple has equipped the iPhone Air with a single lens camera that offers standard wide-angle photos and a 2x optical zoom. However, it does not include an ultra-wide-angle camera, a feature found in some other models.
For those concerned about battery life, Apple assures that the iPhone Air can last 'all day,' with 27 hours of video playback given as a benchmark. After a few days of everyday use, the battery life has been found to be sufficient.
The iPhone Air comes with a crossbody strap for hanging the new models, with some cases featuring holes for threading small straps through. Apple has also introduced the Magsafe external battery that fits perfectly to the iPhone Air and can be charged diagonally on other iPhone models due to different camera bumps.
The iPhone Air takes over the place that the entry-level model of the Pro series held in Apple's pricing structure, starting at 1,199 euros. The iPhone 17 starts at 949 euros, the iPhone 17 Pro starts at 1,299 euros, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max starts at 1,449 euros.
In addition, Apple has introduced the third generation of AirPods Pro, featuring a heart rate sensor. The AirPods Pro 3 can better suppress ambient noise due to new tips at the end. The iPhone 17 Pro, now made with aluminum instead of titanium, is available in orange.
During testing, the iPhone Air was found to be durable, bending under a load of 60 kilograms per square foot but immediately returning to its original shape. The USB-C ports for the iPhone Air are manufactured using 3D printing from titanium powder due to its thinness.
The iPhone Air is best suited for users who want a significantly thinner, lighter device, appealing to a younger demographic seeking a stylish and ultra-slim smartphone. With its sleek design and improved features, the iPhone Air is poised to make a mark in the smartphone market.
