During the month of September 2025, Apple, like every year, launched new phones to the market, where we saw the iPhone 17 range, the Pro and Pro Max models, and a new smartphone that replaced the Plus, called Air, thinner and lighter, something never seen before.
However, Apple had higher expectations for this product, and as we mentioned days ago, production would have been reduced, because the stock is larger than believed, and, therefore, we could classify it as a kind of failure for the company.
Is an iPhone Air recommended in 2025?
Although the stock is larger than Apple would like, this does not mean that the device is a failure, since it even exceeded many people's expectations regarding autonomy or performance, so we can talk about a great phone.
However, the fact that there are more than they planned to sell (possibly due to the price), has meant that websites like Amazon have already begun to apply discounts At the same time, something strange when it is barely 2 months old, which makes the original buyers frustrated, because just by waiting a little, they would already have a lower cost.
Let's go over the features, since not only do we have a very thin iPhone, but it also meets very interesting requirements:
- Screen: 6.5″ Super Retina XDR OLED, 2736 × 1260 px (~460 ppi) with adaptive refresh rate up to 120 Hz.
- Design: Ultra-thin (~5.6mm) and lightweight (~165g) with titanium frame and Ceramic Shield 2 glass.
- Processor: Apple A19 Pro chip, the most powerful processor in the range.
- Rear camera: 48 MP main sensor (“Fusion”) with 2× crop zoom and wide-angle lens.
- Front camera: 18 MP with Center Stage function (automatic face tracking).
- Storage: 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB options.
- Battery: Up to 27 hours of video playback (according to Apple).
- Connectivity: N1 chip (Wi-Fi 7), Bluetooth 6 and C1X modem for advanced connectivity.
- SIM: Compatible with eSIM only (no physical card slot).
As we can see, the battery It is not as bad as many of us thought, and the first tests place it close to the normal iPhone 17, so the thickness has not been a problem. What we can see is the SIM slot, which no longer exists, and, therefore, if you do not have a company compatible with this system eSIMyou will not be able to use it.
As for the price, currently, as you have seen, it is around 1099 euroswhich means that we would save about 120 euros compared to the original launch cost, which for being two months ago, is very good. This is without counting Black Friday or other possible temporary offers, so it is one of the best phones in relation to quality and price, unlike September 9, when many protested precisely because of this value, since those 120 euros make it change, and a lot.
And you, have you thought about purchasing this model with the discount, or do you still think that it is very expensive having the iPhone 17 for even less? Leave us a comment with your opinion.
