iPhone Air

2025    $1,799

Editorial Note

Air 2 rumoured to be released March 2027, so if you can wait, it may be worth waiting for that.

A new device, but lots of potential and actually already quite advanced for a first-generation device. A second generation is rumoured to come next year, and it should address most issues, such as no Face ID, cameras, and matte display finish. Second generation is rumoured to add a camera, improv ethe battery life, and other improvements aligned with the 18 Pro's smaller dynamic island, etc.
