iPhone Air

iPhone Air accessories — protecting the thinnest iPhone ever

iPhone Air is a revolution in Apple design — 5.6 mm thick, titanium frame, A19 Pro chip (the same as in the 17 Pro but with a slightly weaker GPU) and 12 GB RAM. A 6.5-inch OLED display, a single 48 MP camera with 2x zoom and a 3149 mAh battery — smaller than the iPhone 17's, but enough for a day of light use.

Cases — ultra-slim is a must

At 5.6 mm thick every millimetre of a case matters. A standard silicone case will double the phone's thickness. Dedicated options:

• PITAKA — 0.88 mm aramid case, 19.5 g, MagSafe, Edge series. Aramid fibre used in the aerospace industry
• Benks ArmorAir — DuPont Kevlar 600D, ultra-slim, MagSafe, exposed buttons with no TPU frame
• ThinBorne — 600D aramid, comparable to PITAKA, fine weave
• Apple Silicone Case — official case, thicker (~1.5 mm) but full MagSafe compatibility
• Spigen Thin Fit — polycarbonate, thinner than a typical case, MagSafe

Screen protection

• 9H tempered glass — protection for the 6.5-inch OLED screen, Spigen EZ Fit with applicator
• hybrid glass iPhone 17 Air — flexible 7H, shatterproof
• Screen protectors — hydrogel and matte, the thinnest option
• Camera lens glass — protection for the single 48 MP lens

iPhone Air vs iPhone 17 — dimensions and compatibility

iPhone Air (156.2 x 74.7 x 5.6 mm) has completely different dimensions from iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro. Cases, glass and screen protectors are not interchangeable between these models — each requires dedicated accessories. The Air has a single 48 MP camera (vs dual on the 17 and triple on the Pro), so camera cutouts differ.

Compare the range: iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17, iPhone 16e.
