iPhone Air

Our take

A remarkably thin phone that feels lighter than its screen size suggests. You trade the ultra wide camera, the speaker on the bottom and some battery life for the most pleasant iPhone to hold.

For phones we look past launch-week impressions: battery health after a year of daily charging, how the camera handles indoor and low-light shots, and whether the software keeps the phone feeling quick.

Pros

Astonishingly thin and light
Big ProMotion display
Pro-class chip

Cons

Single rear camera
Battery life is merely fine
eSIM only
