Apple iPhone Air / Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max

Because the corners are rounded, the visible area is slightly smaller than the rectangular measurement.

ProMotion varies the refresh rate with content: 120 Hz for smooth scrolling, lower rates on static screens to save battery. Because of the rounded corners, the screen measures 6.86 inches as a rectangle.

The panel varies its rate with the content, keeping scrolling smooth and lowering the rate for still images and Always-On to save power.

3000 nits is a short-term peak reached in strong sunlight, not a sustained full-screen brightness.

The outdoor peak is used briefly in strong sunlight; the 1-nit minimum is meant to reduce eye strain in a dark room.

GSMArena reports the frame is grade 5 titanium.

The A19 Pro in the iPhone 17 Pro models uses a 6-core GPU; the Air's version has 5 GPU cores.

Apple says a standard setup uses about 12–24 GB for iOS and deletable apps, and Apple Intelligence models about 7 GB. GSMArena reports 12 GB of RAM in all versions; Apple does not publish RAM size.

Storage cannot be expanded later; ProRes uses a lot of space, so 4K 120 fps ProRes recording requires external storage.

There is a single rear camera; the 2x view uses the centre of the 48 MP sensor rather than a separate telephoto lens. There is no ultrawide or macro camera.

100 and 120 fps are available only on the Fusion main camera. Log recording leaves more dynamic range for colour grading.

Center Stage automatically widens and shifts the frame, allowing landscape-style framing while holding the phone upright.

With the separately sold iPhone Air MagSafe Battery, video playback rises to 40 hours. Apple does not give capacity in mAh; GSMArena reports 3149 mAh.

No adapter is included; the box has a 1 m USB-C cable.

MagSafe needs a 30 W or higher adapter for 20 W.

The USB 2 speed slows wired transfers of large video files to a computer.

Wi-Fi 7 availability varies by country; Thread connects to compatible smart-home devices.

mmWave 5G support is not listed.

Physical SIM cards cannot be used; eSIM needs carrier support.

Satellite features work only in supported countries; some require a carrier plan.

Tested under lab conditions; resistance is not permanent and liquid damage is not covered by warranty.

Camera Control adjusts exposure, depth, zoom and styles with a slide.

Camera Control is a surface that detects presses and swipes; it opens the camera and changes settings with a slide. The Action button can be assigned to silent mode, flashlight, shortcuts and more.

The thickness is for the body and excludes the camera plateau.

According to GSMArena's review, the phone went on sale in September 2025 with iOS 26.

The 12 MP 2x view (48 mm) is cropped from the main sensor rather than a separate lens. The total optical zoom range is 10x (5x in, 2x out); digital zoom goes up to 25x.

mmWave support and Ultra Wideband availability vary by region. Thread is a low-power mesh network for smart-home accessories.

Satellite features work only in supported countries and where there is no cellular or Wi-Fi coverage.

A USB 3 cable is required for 10 Gbit/s; the charge cable in the box does not provide that speed.

No power adapter is included. The 25 W MagSafe rate needs the newer MagSafe Charger and an adapter of at least 30 W.

IP68 is tested in fresh water under lab conditions and can decrease over time; liquid damage is not covered by warranty.
