Apple iPhone Air 256GB space schwarz

Apple offeriert mit dem iPhone Air das momentan dünnste Smartphone, welches sich preislich zwischen dem iPhone 17 und 17 Pro positioniert. Wie viele Kompromisse für den Schlankheitswahn notwendig sind, klärt unser Test.

The iPhone Air is Apple’s most interesting, fun and likely divisive phone in a decade. It’s surprisingly durable, designed with such flair that it feels wonderful to pick up and does what it sets out to do very well. But, there are sacrifices here – and for some, they will simply be too much.

The ultra-thin iPhone Air is better than youÂ’d expect, but itÂ’s still too high a price to pay for a slim frame.

The iPhone Air is Apple’s boldest design refresh in years – it’s almost impossibly thin at 5.64mm, yet still sturdy thanks to the use of titanium and Ceramic Shield. Its 6.5-inch ProMotion display and iOS 26’s Liquid Glass makeover feel purpose-built for this form factor – even after a week of use, this still feels like Apple’s most exciting design refresh in years. Battery life is solid if not class-leading, and the single 48MP camera limits flexibility, but for those who value design and portability above all else it’s sexy and stunning – and maybe a new kind of Pro.

Review: Concerns about the durability of Apple's thinnest iPhone were quickly put to rest once I got my hands on it. And despite a scaled back camera and slimmer battery, there's a lot to love.

The Apple iPhone Air is an exciting phone that favors design and aesthetics over features and raw performance. It looks terrific and is a joy to use, but lacks some capabilities of other models.

It might not be the most affordable iPhone or the one with the most cameras, but for anyone who puts a premium on style and sleekness, the iPhone Air is without a doubt Apple's coolest handset in years.
