The iPhone Air is a bold, design-first take on what an iPhone can be, but it comes with clear compromises. It delivers on portability, feel, and everyday smoothness, but falls short on battery endurance and camera versatility. This isn’t a mass-market iPhone. It’s for users who prioritise form factor above everything else. For most buyers, the Pro or even the standard model remains the more practical choice.
