Apple Goes Ultra-Thin With iPhone Air, But Users Have Major Concerns

Apple just dropped its boldest iPhone in years — the iPhone Air, measuring only 5.6 mm thin. That makes it slimmer than Samsung’s S25 Edge, and the first major design shake-up in nearly a decade. Inside the feather-light frame is Apple’s new A19 Pro chip, custom comms chips, and a titanium build that screams premium.

Design Wins, But at What Cost?

Apple claims the iPhone Air packs “all-day battery life,” thanks to shrunken-down circuitry the size of postage stamps. But some analysts aren’t convinced yet. With only one rear camera (compared to two on the iPhone 17 and three on Pro models), plus whispers of possible battery trade-offs, Apple fans are split between hype and hesitation.

Reactions Are Loud

YouTuber Technical Guruji (24M subscribers) was impressed after handling the Air at Apple HQ, clapping along with the audience. Analysts say it’s a much-needed shakeup in a sea of lookalike smartphones. Still, many want proof the Air can actually last through a full day of use.

What’s Missing?

Despite the buzz, Apple skipped big AI feature reveals, leaving the door open for rivals like Google to flex their Gemini-powered phones. Critics also point out compromises in audio and camera quality, all in the name of sleekness.

Will It Sell?

At $100 cheaper than Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge, the iPhone Air lands in the mid-range of Apple’s lineup. Experts say the pricing — plus the novelty of a super-thin design — could drive strong sales, especially during the holiday season. But in markets like China, where Apple faces stiff competition from cheaper, slimmer models, it’s anyone’s guess how far the Air will fly.
