Apple has just dropped the iPhone Air, claiming it’s the thinnest iPhone ever built — but don’t let its slim frame fool you. Packed inside is pro-level performance that’s sure to catch the eye of both casual users and tech buffs here in Singapore.
The iPhone Air measures a mere 5.6 mm thick and weighs just 165 grams, making it a light and easy fit for our on-the-go lifestyles. Its 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display delivers stunning visuals, whether you’re streaming your favourite shows or scrolling through photos.
Apple steps up durability too, with a Grade 5 titanium frame made from 80% recycled materials — a nod to sustainability that’s important to many local buyers. The front features Ceramic Shield 2, which offers three times better scratch resistance, while the back is four times more crack resistant. So, it’s built to take the daily bumps and scrapes without worry.
On the front, you get an 18MP Center Stage camera that intelligently adjusts the frame to fit more faces — perfect for video calls with family or friends. Flip to the back, and you’ll find a 48MP “Fusion Main” camera with 2× telephoto zoom and crisp, high-res photos by default.
For video lovers, the iPhone Air shoots 4K video at 60 fps with Dolby Vision, plus features like ultra-stabilized video and “Dual Capture” that records with both front and rear cameras simultaneously — great for vlogging or capturing reactions.
The 6.5-inch ProMotion display runs at up to 120 Hz for buttery smooth scrolling and gaming, with brightness peaking at 3,000 nits — bright enough to handle Singapore’s sunny weather.
Under the hood, the A19 Pro chip with enhanced GPU and Neural Accelerators ensures fast performance and efficient multitasking. The new C1X modem boosts wireless speeds and battery efficiency, helping you stay connected on the MRT or in cafes.
Battery life promises up to 27 hours of video playback, and fast charging gets you to 50% in about 30 minutes — handy for busy Singaporeans who need a quick top-up between meetings or travel.
Apple offers storage options from 256 GB up to 1 TB, with the base 256 GB model priced competitively for the market. While exact SGD pricing for all variants is yet to be fully detailed, you can expect higher-capacity models to cost more.If you’ve got an older iPhone (13 or later), you can trade-in and receive cash payout ranging from S$275 to S$1,240, depending on condition — a great way to offset the upgrade cost.
Pre-orders are open now in Singapore, with the iPhone Air hitting shelves on 19 September. You can buy directly from Apple’s official online store or visit Apple online reseller Singapore.
Apple also offers perks like free delivery or store pickup, 0% instalment plans for up to 24 months with eligible credit cards, trade-in programs, and guided setup support — making it easy to get started right away.
If you’re ready for a sleek, powerful iPhone that fits your lifestyle without weighing you down, the iPhone Air might just be the upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
