The iPhone Air is one of those phones that you have to hold to believe. It's super thin and light, yet feels super sturdy in your hand thanks to the titanium design. But I know what you're thinking. What about the compromises?

There's not a ton here. You get a big and bright 6.5-inch OLED display, powerful A19 Pro chip and a versatile 48MP camera with 2x optical zoom. And Apple promises "all-day battery life," though we'll be the judge of that in our testing.

There are some trade-offs when you compare the Air to the best phones. You don't get an ultrawide lens. And the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max have better cameras. But for $999, the iPhone Air could hit that sweet spot for lots of buyers who want incredible portability paired with Pro-ish performance.
