Discover the new Apple iPhone Air — Apple’s slimmest iPhone yet at 5.62 mm, featuring the A19 Pro processor, N1 connectivity chip, and updated C1X modem.
Hello, everyone. It is that time of year again—Apple has unveiled its next generation of iPhones and smartwatches. Alongside the iPhone 17 lineup and the Apple Watch Series 11, this year brought something entirely new: the Apple iPhone Air.
A New Category for Apple
The iPhone Air stands out not only because it adds a fresh dimension to Apple’s smartphone portfolio but also because it represents a bold design experiment. At just 5.62 mm thin (measured without the rear camera bump), the iPhone Air is the slimmest iPhone Apple has ever released. For consumers, this means a sleeker, lighter device that pushes the boundaries of smartphone design. For analysts like us at TechInsights, however, the real story lies beneath the surface.
What’s Inside the iPhone Air
While the form factor captures headlines, the Apple-designed chips inside the iPhone Air are what make this device truly significant. The iPhone Air is the only iPhone announced at the September event that integrates three custom Apple ICs:
- Apple A19 Pro applications processor – The latest flagship SoC powering performance, efficiency, and advanced machine learning capabilities.
- Apple N1 connectivity solution – A brand-new chip that handles Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Thread connectivity, showcasing Apple’s growing vertical integration in wireless technologies.
- Apple C1X cellular modem – A newer revision of Apple’s first in-house modem, continuing Apple’s transition away from third-party modem suppliers.
This combination underscores Apple’s ongoing strategy of bringing more silicon design in-house, giving the company tighter control over performance, integration, and differentiation.
