The phone's slim profile is noticeable immediately upon handling it, making it feel special and easier to hold than other iPhones. However, its thinness is slightly compromised by a protruding camera bump that doubles its thickness in that area. Functionally, the Air operates like any other modern iPhone, offering the same apps, Face ID, and responsiveness, but it exclusively uses eSIM technology, eliminating the nano-SIM tray.
The iPhone Air is powered by the A19 Pro chip, slightly less powerful than the standard iPhone 17's chip, and it tends to get warmer during intensive tasks.
