Move over, iPhone Plus, here comes your super-slim replacement: the iPhone Air.
During Apple’s iPhone event on Tuesday, the company unveiled the iPhone Air, its thinnest and lightest model to date. This replaces the Plus model in the company’s 2025 lineup, following the underperformance of the iPhone 16 Plus last year, based on data from research firm DSCC .
The star of today’s event draws inspiration from Apple’s MacBook Air strategy, which debuted in 2008 as the thinnest laptop available, positioned between the more affordable MacBook and the higher-quality MacBook Pro.
Now, Apple is applying the “Air” concept to the iPhone, emphasizing thinness and lightness as the main selling points.
The device weighs around 145 grams, thanks to its titanium frame, and measures just over 5.5 m
