The iPhone Air is the thinnest iPhone to-date, measuring in at 5.6 millimeters thick. The device is more “form over function”, highlighting aesthetics over additional battery, cameras, and thermals. It contains a 3149 MAh Lithium-Ion battery which is somewhere between “small and medium” sized this day in age.

Having an A19 Pro chip means it comes with a cutting-edge 3 nanometer fabrication process, which will be critical to power efficiency.

Apple Intelligence

iOS devices running 18 and later with an A17 Pro chip or better (iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max, or all iPhone 16 models+). While device capability has increased over the years, it’s theorized by some that older devices don’t have enough RAM to properly run Apple Intelligence. This feature is gradually rolling as AI is new to the industry as a whole.
