After reviewing the cameras on the iPhone 17 and the 17 Pro, photographer Tyler Stalman has released his review of the iPhone Air camera.

Apple's experiment with the ultra-thin iPhone Air has become a significant concern, with user reception being poor. Its low global demand and sluggish sales—which trail the iPhone 17 series—echo the market failure of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge.

The iPhone Air may not be the beefiest iPhone in terms of specs or thickness, but its extremely premium in-hand feel can be an inspiration for other brands.

I tested over 20 of the best iPhone 17 cases and best iPhone Air cases to find the actual best case for you. Here are the four you should actually buy.

Apple's thinnest phone scales back on camera hardware and battery capacity. But in my day-to-day use, the iPhone Air held up just fine -- including from a durability standpoint.

As popular as the new iPhone 17 models have been, Apple's ultra-thin iPhone Air doesn't appear to be quite as big of a hit so far.

Jobs famously told a Gizmodo reader, “There is no reception issue. Stay tuned,” following the launch of the iPhone 4 when consumers found that gripping the phone in a certain way that covered the antenna bands built into the stainless steel band caused the cellular signal to drop to unusable levels.

Critics' displeasure at the iPhone 17 Pro's fluorescent orange color aside, Apple's "Cosmic Orange" smartphone has charmed fans — and investors.
