9 things the iPhone Air sacrificed to get that slim waistline

11 September 2025
It measures only 5.64mm thick - impressive! However, this thin build came at a steep cost and a lot of features had to be cut.

Sort by:

the fact that this utter disaster of a phone costs $1000 is appalling. it might actually be worse than the new pixels in that regard.
even the s25 edge looks like a decent phone in comparison to this

    Well, that earspeaker-loudspeaker combo as a mono speaker for iPhone Air is a Dejavu of Motorola Moto G6 Play from 7 years ago and well, it gonna be unpleasant, and the first mono speaker in an iPhone since... the iPhone 6s from 2015, a decade ago. Oh wow

      Too much sacrifice on hardware. They should have sacrificed some profit margin instead, haha.

        I don't really understand,
        Are they people that will use this phone without a case?, as if you need a case in order to protect your 1000€, purchase, will it still be slim and special?
        If putting a case make this phone almost as any other normal thickness phone, what is the point of having it if it had to sacrifice so many features?

            Most pathetic things ever in mobile history

            $1000 iphone air with mono audio
            $1000 oppo find X (2018) without nfc
            Kirin 9000 and all its rebranded variants inside devices that cost over $1300

              5 of 5
