Apple just announced the thinnest iPhone ever, the iPhone Air, which measures just 5.6mm thick.
The new iPhone Air comes with a 6.5-inch ProMotion display with an up to 120Hz refresh rate. 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, the most powerful iPhone chip yet, also announced today. And, despite how thin it is, Apple promises “remarkable” battery life.
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.
