- The system of cameras (despite only having a rear one) allows for high-quality photos and videos, and the front camera with Center Stage makes video calls more natural.
- The connectivity It is fast and stable thanks to Wi-Fi 7 and Thread.
- The battery It lasts all day and, with fast charging, you won't have to worry too much about running out of power, although its size made this a concern.
Even if you already have an iPhone 15 or later, you'll notice concrete improvements to the screen and camera that make the iPhone Air a recommended purchase. And the best: without paying an excessive price as is the case with the Pro models, although it has increased compared to the Plus models to which we were accustomed.
Differences with the 17 Pro model
If you are hesitating between iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 Prohere are the key differences:
- Material and finish: Both use aluminum and strong glass. The Pro has a more premium finish, but in terms of materials there is not a big difference.
- Rear camera: The Air has a dual camera (48 MP + 12 MP), enough for most. The Pro adds a telephoto lens and LiDAR sensor for professional photography and advanced augmented reality.
- Storage: The Air offers 256 GB and 512 GB, while the Pro goes up to 1 TB, ideal if you record a lot of videos or need extra space for large apps.
- Screen: Both have ProMotion 120 Hz and Always-On Display, so the visual experience is practically the same.
- Advanced photography and video: The Pro allows recording in ProRes and has more editing options, while the Air covers all the needs of most users.
- Price: The Air is cheaper and sufficient for daily use. The Pro is only worth it if you need the extra camera or storage features, and that shows in the price.
In short, for everyday use and casual or even semi-professional photography, the iPhone Air It's more than enough. The Pro is intended for those who really need the extra features, but for most, the most obvious difference is the price.
