A week later with iPhone Air, I'm both captivated and eagerly waiting for what's next
The iPhone Air might not wow serious photographers, but its ultra-thin build and balanced feature set make it a great choice for those on the go.
Following the September keynote, the company showed members of the media its durability testing facility, which included a machine that applied 130 pounds of force on the center point of the iPhone Air. It's less noticeable on other phones, including the S25 Edge, because heat is more evenly dispersed across the body, but by condensing everything within a strip of glass and metal, and not having the same vapor chamber cooling system found on the iPhone 17 Pro models, the Air takes a hit during extended usage. Color accuracy, contrast, and shadow detail are still the iPhone's forte (as depicted in the samples above), but there were several moments when I craved the more distant optical zooming of the Pro model, especially when recording live events and subjects far away.
