iPhone Air vs iPhone 17: Apple’s Ultra‑Thin Gamble vs. Its Flagship Standard (Which Should You Pick?)
Apple introduced the iPhone Air, its thinnest model at 5.6 mm, replacing the “Plus” in the 2025 lineup alongside the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max. The Air features a titanium frame, 6.5″ OLED display, A19 Pro chip with reduced GPU, 12 GB RAM, and Apple’s first in-house 5G modem. Unlike the iPhone 17’s dual rear cameras, the Air has a single 48 MP lens and omits ultra-wide and macro features.
