Apple dropped its latest lineup at its Cupertino HQ this week, headlined by the sleek new iPhone Air – now officially the thinnest iPhone ever. At just 5.6 mm thick, it packs a punch with a high-density battery and a brand-new processor, starting at $999. But if you were hoping for major AI fireworks, you might be left hanging… 🤔
Here’s the lowdown:
- Ultra-thin design: A featherlight 5.6 mm profile that fits right into your pocket or crossbody sling.
- All-day battery: Up to 40 hours of video playback – perfect for K-drama binges or back-to-back Zoom lectures 🎬📚.
- Dual-camera system: Crisp shots and more internal room thanks to the SIM slot’s exit.
- eSIM-only: No more fiddling with plastic SIM cards = extra space inside!
CEO Tim Cook even called it “the biggest leap ever for iPhone,” but in a twist, Apple kept its AI upgrades pretty modest. If you were dreaming of on-device AI magic—think next-level photo editing or super-smart Siri enhancements—you’ll have to wait a bit longer.
With a starting price of $999, the iPhone Air is undeniably premium 💸. It nails style and endurance, yet plays it safe on the AI front.
