After months of rumours and plenty of speculation, Apple’s iPhone Air was finally unveiled during Apple’s ‘Awe Dropping’ event last week. Measuring in at just 5.6mm thick, this is officially Apple’s thinnest ever smartphone (it also beats Samsung’s 5.8mm Galaxy S25 Edge)and was definitely the star of the firm’s latest keynote.
Along with being ludicrously skinny, the Air is also made of tough stuff, thanks to its titanium shell and being covered in Ceramic Shield Glass 2. Other features include a large 6.5-inch display, fast A19 Pro processor and 48MP Fusion camera. The Air is definitely a smart phone but it does cost £999, that’s £200 more than the standard iPhone 17.
Luckily, there are already some contract deals available which make owning the Air feel a little more affordable.
Sky is just one mobile network offering the iPhone Air, and the company is already promising the ‘lowest ever’ price on contract deals.
This means you can get the Air and totally unlimited data for £52 per month.
There’s also a £192 saving when buying the Air with 60GB of data – this option costs £47 per month – or you can simply get 1GB of data and pay just £33.
Those choosing these plans won’t have to pay anything upfront but there is a long-term contract to sign with Sky’s plans lasting for three years.
