The Ultra Thin 2025 iPhone Air

Written by: Sitara Nair

Apple just announced its newest phone called the iPhone Air, and it’s pretty interesting. Think of all the things you love in a phone (taking selfies, watching videos, playing games), and imagine one that’s super thin and convenient yet still powerful. Well, that’s the goal with the iPhone Air. 

What Makes It Special

These are the most interesting features of the new phone:

• Ultra Thin: The iPhone Air is only 5.6 millimeters thick!! This makes it the thinnest iPhone ever from Apple. It weighs about 165 grams (roughly the weight of an average sized apple), light enough to carry without feeling bulky.

• Screen Size: It has a 6.5-inch display that is incredibly bright and smooth. The screen features something called ProMotion, which allows it to refresh up to 120 times per second (120 Hz), according to MacRumors, one of the most trusted Apple news outlets. 

• Materials Used: The frame is made of titanium, which is both strong and lightweight. The front back uses a special material called Ceramic Shield, helping to protect it against cracks and scratches.  

What’s Inside & Battery Stuff

The phone is powered by Apple’s A19 Pro chip, ensuring fast, smooth performance for apps and games. Additionally, this phone replaces physical SIM cards with electronic ones to help make the phone slimmer. The battery life is also really good, with Apple claiming up to approximately 27 hours of video playback, depending on usage! 

More facts and Customer Opinions

While the idea of a super thin phone excites everyone, customers have noted the things this new phone might miss or trade off. To start, because it’s so thin, it doesn’t have multiple rear cameras like some other iPhones. It has one main camera with zoom and relies on digital tricks for some effects. Additionally, it might get warm if you play heavy games or use it a lot, since thinner phones have less space for cooling. Lastly, being super sleek and light makes it easy to drop, so investing in a good screen protector and case is essential.

The iPhone Air is available in four awesome colors: Sky Blue, Light Gold, Cloud White, and Space Black. Priced starting at approximately $999 for the 256GB model, it has options with larger storage capacity for those who want to keep plenty of photos, apps, or games. Pre-orders will begin on September 12, 2025, with the official release set for September 19, 2025.

Besides the coolest feature, the mega thin-ness, the phone also received a major update to selfies. The front camera was significantly improved. According to Apple, “The new front camera gives you flexible ways to frame your photos and videos — and so much more. Tap to expand the field of view and rotate from portrait to landscape without moving your iPhone. And when friends join the shot, the field of view expands so you get more friendsies in your selfies.” This basically means that the front camera can help keep you in the frame even if you're moving! 

In conclusion, the iPhone Air is thin, light, and powerful, about as heavy as a regular apple, but way more useful. It’s a cool new phone that’s easy to carry and packed with features kids and adults will both think are awesome!!
