IPhone Air
iPhone model by Apple (2025)
The iPhone Air is a smartphone developed and marketed by Apple. Part of the nineteenth generation of the iPhone, it was announced alongside the lower-priced iPhone 17 and the higher-priced iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max during the Apple Event at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, on September 9, 2025. The iPhone Air replaces the Plus series in the iPhone line-up and is an option focused on lightweight design and enhanced features. With a depth of 5.6 mm (0.22 in), it was the thinnest iPhone ever at the time of its release, surpassing the 6.9 mm (0.27 in) thick iPhone 6; this excludes the top of the phone with a depth of 11.3 mm (0.44 in).
Design
The iPhone Air features a slim body and a flat-sided titanium frame with softened edges. It is lightest of the nineteenth generation of iPhones, as well as the only model to retain a titanium build. The front glass uses Ceramic Shield 2 with a new anti-reflective coating. The back glass is protected by Ceramic Shield and has an elevated oval area called a plateau. This area houses the cameras, speaker, and logic board. The iPhone Air is available in four colors: Sky Blue, Light Gold, Cloud White, and Space Black.

Why this record matters
“IPhone Air” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, IPhone, iPhone and model provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q136193414. None of the 21 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
