DISPLAY & DESIGN
First up, the display. The iPhone 17 Air comes with a 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR screen, giving you incredibly sharp visuals. With a peak brightness of 3000 nits, this phone is built to shine—even under direct sunlight. And yes, it supports a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, making scrolling and gaming feel buttery smooth.
The design? Apple has gone with titanium for strength and added their new Ceramic Shield 2 on the front and the regular Ceramic Shield on the back. All that protection, yet the phone weighs just 165 grams. Lightweight and durable—a combo we don’t often see.”
Now looking at the back of the phone, Apple has decided to make a little modification where the camera and the flashlight sits. Apple is calling that a plateau…yeah that is what it is called.
O.S & PERFORMANCE
Under the hood, the iPhone 17 Air runs on iOS 26 with Apple’s brand-new A19 Pro chip. Meaning? Apps load instantly, multitasking is effortless, and performance is top-tier for both everyday use and heavy gaming.
CAMERA
Now, let’s talk about cameras. First let’s talk about Camera Control. With it, you can instantly take photos, record videos, and adjust settings without diving into menus and other stuffs.
On the front, you get an 18-megapixel Center Stage camera—perfect for selfies and video calls that keep you in frame as you move. And there is an interesting feature Apple added to this. You now don’t need to rotate your phone to take a group picture. You can now take landscape pictures without rotating your phone. It uses AI to automatically expand to fill the view and can even rotate the frame for you…that’s really great actually.
On the back, there’s a powerful 48-megapixel Fusion main camera, designed to capture every detail with stunning clarity.
Apple has added another new feature to the camera that let’s you record your reaction as you are recording a real live video and…I know this is really revolutionary when it comes to content creation.
