The dry iPhone. Is the successor of iPhone 16 and maintains the usual spirit: a more content size and double camera. It is the iPhone for those who do not need the triple camera or the most powerful processor. This year the iPhone 17 wins points because its screen finally adds to the 120hz, something that so far away further away from its older brothers.

It is made of aluminum and, to protect the screen, it has the new Ceramic Shield 2 which is up to three times more scratch resistant.

As with the macbook air, The iPhone Air claim is thinness. Specifically, it measures 5.6 millimeters thick (with the exception of the camera module, where by the way Apple has managed to put practically the entire hardware) and weighs 165 grams.

The iPhone Air is for those who want the most exclusive design, even at the expense of making certain sacrifices. It only has one camera and, although the figures of autonomy are not as disastrous as it was rumored (27 hours of video playback), the fact that Apple announced an external battery specially designed for this model leaves us with enough doubts. Another important factor is that It has no physical sim, So if you decide to go for the new ultradelgated iPhone, It is time to hire an ESIM.

The iPhone Air arrives blank, gold, sky blue and black and its price starts from 1,219 euros For the 256GB version. This is 260 euros more expensive than the iPhone 17, but 100 euros cheaper than the iPhone 17 Pro.
