Apple iPhone Air

Price range: £40.95 through £75.95 excl VAT

The iPhone Air is Apple’s thin-and-light “style/performance” variant. At just 5.6 mm thin and about 165 g, it is the thinnest iPhone yet, with a slim titanium frame and ceramic back and face components for durability. It features a 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with ProMotion up to 120Hz, Always-On display, and strong outdoor brightness around 3,000 nits peak. It is powered by the A19 Pro chip along with new networking chips that bring advances in power efficiency and connectivity. The rear camera system is simpler than the Pro models, with a single 48MP wide Fusion camera, while the front camera is upgraded to 18MP with Center Stage. Despite its slim build, it delivers all-day battery life.
