About this product

The iPhone Air is so impossibly thin and light that it nearly disappears in your hand. At 5.6 mm and weighing just 165 grams, it’s the thinnest iPhone ever — even with a large, immersive 6.5‑inch display and the power of the A19 Pro chip. It’s a paradox you have to hold to believe. An all‑new camera system means you can snap amazing selfies, take incredible portraits and landscapes, and capture pro-level videos. The new front camera gives you flexible ways to frame your photos and videos — and so much more. Tap to expand the field of view and rotate from portrait to landscape without moving your iPhone. And when friends join the shot, the field of view expands so you get more friendsies in your selfies. With over a decade of hardware and software innovations, iPhone has become the world’s favorite camera. iPhone Air continues this legacy with its powerful 48MP Fusion camera system that works like multiple advanced cameras in one. Shoot in super-high‑resolution 48MP for ultimate detail or 24MP by default, or use the built‑in 2x Telephoto to zoom in with exceptionally clear quality. iPhone Air was designed to deliver pro performance in the thinnest iPhone ever. Bringing together the power of our latest-generation Apple silicon and the efficiency of the A19 Pro chip, advanced features like Clean Up in Photos, Apple Intelligence, or graphics-intensive gaming happen smoothly and effortlessly. A19 Pro delivers the fastest CPU in any smartphone and introduces our most advanced GPU yet, so you can enjoy even the most demanding AAA games. Each of the GPU cores has a built‑in Neural Accelerator, providing new levels of capability for your daily workflows. The CPU alone is up to 40 percent faster than the chip in iPhone 14 Pro. And with C1X, the new version of the Apple‑designed modem, iPhone Air is the most power‑efficient iPhone ever made. The internal design of iPhone Air was completely rethought in order to maximize battery space. All to say, you’ll enjoy remarkable battery life all day long. The latest iPhone models come with tons to love. Helpful Apple Intelligence tools to make your everyday easier. Better performance and reliability with Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread — all enabled by N1, our new wireless chip. Fast and secure connections with 5G and eSIM. And safety features designed to give you peace of mind.

    Best buy sells stolen merchandise

    Following my purchase, I attempted to migrate from my older phone. AT&T (my carrier) rejected porting the phone number because this phone was reported stole . I returned the phone to Best buy but nobody seemed to care that they sold a stolen phone on their e-commerce platform. I attempted to meet with the store manager (wasn't available) and even called Best Buy customer service. At the end of the day, not one single person from Best Buy seemed concerned about selling stolen goods on their platform. I will never purchase from Best Buy again.

    Simple and effective

    To start off, the battery life on this is amazing! For example my day starts at 2:30am. With getting myself together and out the house, while light scrolling I’m at 99% in an hour. Work starts at 4 an ends for me a round 12:30-1pm and I’ve got around 70-75%. It’ll be around 7ish when the low power mode wants to turn on and with that it’ll get me through til bed time at 9. I was skeptical about it after reading the comments on battery a the specs not being on par with the base model 17, but it’s proven itself to be a champ. Not having the .5 on the camera seemed like a big deal at first but now it’s not as big a setback. One thing I wish was different, having another speaker. I genuinely have my AirPods on, but on the rare occasion I don’t the speaker quality is terrible. All in all I would recommend this

    Awesome!

    I was hesitant to purchase a refurbished iPhone, but so far it has been great. The battery was brand new, the device looks great with no scratches or scuffs. Highly recommend if you're looking for a more affordable way to upgrade without being stuck in a carrier contract.

4.9(14)

iPhone 16 Pro features a Grade 5 titanium design with a new, refined microblasted texture. Titanium has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any metal, making these models incredibly strong and impressively light. iPhone 16 Pro comes in four stunning finishes. Internal design improvements — including a 100 percent recycled aluminum thermal substructure and back glass optimizations that further dissipate heat — enable up to 20 percent better sustained performance than iPhone 15 Pro. So you can do all the things you love — like high-intensity gaming — for longer. New display technology allows us to route display data under active pixels with no distortion, resulting in thinner borders for larger 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR displays that feel great in your hand. iPhone 16 Pro is splash, water, and dust resistant. It also has our latest-generation Ceramic Shield material that’s two times tougher than any smartphone glass. Talk about durable. iPhone 16 Pro is built for Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system that helps you write, express yourself, and get things done effortlessly. With groundbreaking privacy protections, it gives you peace of mind that no one else can access your data — not even Apple. iPhone 16 Pro takes video capture to a whole new level with 4K 120 fps Dolby Vision — our highest resolution and frame rate combo yet. Enabled by the new 48MP Fusion camera with second-generation quad-pixel sensor and our powerful A18 Pro chip, iPhone 16 Pro lets you record 4K 120 fps Dolby Vision in video mode or slo-mo. A phenomenally powerful chip, A18 Pro enables Apple Intelligence with a faster Neural Engine, an improved CPU and GPU, and a big jump in memory bandwidth. It also drives advanced video and photo features like Camera Control, and it delivers our best-ever graphics performance for AAA gaming.
