Apple’s newly launched iPhone Air is now available in India, alongside the rest of the iPhone 17 series devices. Starting at Rs 1,19,900, the device claims the title of Apple’s thinnest iPhone so far, measuring just 5.6mm—making it slimmer even than the iPhone 6’s 6.9mm frame. To balance its ultra-thin design with strength, Apple has constructed the chassis from Grade-5 titanium with a polished finish, paired with Ceramic Shield protection on both the front and back.

 

Powering the Air is the A19 Pro chipset, which Apple says delivers MacBook Pro-class GPU performance, aided by neural accelerators integrated into every core. Connectivity is handled by the new N1 chip (Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, Thread) and the updated C1X modem. Notably, it also marks Apple’s first globally eSIM-only iPhone.
