Apple just announced the thinnest iPhone ever, the iPhone Air, which measures just 5.6mm thick. CEO Tim Cook said it promises “pro performance in a thin and light design.”The new iPhone Air comes with a 6.5-inch ProMotion display and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. It also has 3,000 nits of peak brightness. Apple says the design is its “most durable” yet, featuring a ceramic shield that encloses a titanium frame on both sides.It features a new A19 Pro processor, which is the most powerful iPhone chip yet, and a new Apple-built modem called the C1x, which is two times faster than the C1. Along with these upgrades, the iPhone Air comes with Apple’s new N1 chip design, which adds support for Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread. And, despite how thin it is, Apple promises “all day” battery life with up to 40 hours of video playback. The device only supports eSIMs to “maximize” battery space. The iPhone Air features a 48-megapixel dual camera system with a 12MP telephoto lens. The 18MP selfie camera supports Center Stage, a feature also on the regular iPhone 17, which automatically fits everyone into a photo, so you don’t have to rotate the phone into landscape mode.The iPhone Air is supposed to mark the beginning of the company’s three-year plan to revamp its iPhone lineup with new designs and form factors — not just simple spec bumps, according to a recent report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The launch of the iPhone Air coincides with the upcoming release of iOS 26. The updated operating system features a new Liquid Glass design language that gives some of its navigational elements and icons a bubbly, transparent look that had some users divided during the beta testing period.Developing… see our live blog for the latest details.
