Some manufacturers have managed to build a reputation for making great quality and feature-packed smartphones that have attained iconic status. These products include the Samsung Galaxy S series and the Google Pixel handsets. However, none of them have built a virtual cult status around them like Apple with its iPhones. The aura is so significant and ingrained in the public's mind, that the iPhone has become a must-buy irrespective of which generation the buyer belongs to. These smartphones are packed with the latest and smartest technologies, but cost a packet. That has often acted as a deterrent for buyers. However, the latest Amazon offer has slashed one iPhone's price by a massive amount. The latest Apple smartphone that has been making a lot of noise is the iPhone Air - the thinnest iPhone ever. And now, it is available with a whopping 21% discount. That is virtually unheard as Apple has been quite miserly about offering discounts, preferring to retain its reputation as a premium product. However, being thin is not the only alluring aspect about the iPhone Air. The smartphone comes with a massive 256GB capacity too.
Before we check out the top specs and features, let us explain the iPhone Air price drop on Amazon.
iPhone Air Price Drop, Exchange And Bank Offers
The iPhone Air price (MRP) is actually ₹1,19,900. This model on sale has a 6.5″ display with Promotion up to 120Hz, A19 Pro chip, in Light Gold colour. After the 21% discount, you can pay just ₹94,990 and take it home. You can sweeten the deal further with a number of exchange and bank offers. For instance, iPhone Air is available with an exchange offer of up to 36,600 off. However, for that, the smartphone you will be exchanging has to be in good working order and of a good brand to ensure you get top value for it. And then there are bank offers including up to ₹4,000 discount on select credit cards. You can also get 5% cashback with Amazon Pay ICICI Bank credit card for Prime members - 3% for the rest.
iPhone Air Specs and Features
The iPhone Air is extremely thin and that also means it is quite a lightweight handset at just 5.6 mm. However, this doesn't mean it is flimsy in build. Far from it. It is more durable than any other previous iPhone due to its Ultralight titanium frame.
Also, there is a Ceramic Shield to protect the back and Apple claims this makes it 4x more resistant to cracks. On the front, the new Ceramic Shield 2 has 3x better scratch resistance.
The iPhone Air has an 18MP centre stage front camera and snaps smarter selfies, including group images, its Dual Capture video takes simultaneous front and rear recordings. On the rear, it has a 48MP Fusion camera system with 2x Telephoto.
And then there is the latest A19 PRO processor, which Apple has dubbed as "the most efficient iPhone chip yet".
It may be thin and light, but as far as battery is concerned, no compromises have been made. It has an all-day battery life. It touts an up to 27 hours of video playback.
Apple claims the iPhone Air has been "built for Apple Intelligence", its version of artificial intelligence, and it enables you to get things done fast and effortlessly.
Among the other highlights are crash detection (can detect a severe car crash and call for help), has stronger connectivity with secure connections to Wi-Fi 7, 5G networks and Bluetooth 6. And yes, eSIM too.
