The iPhone Air Is So Light, I Forgot It Was In My Pocket
After using Apple’s new iPhone Air for ten days, I can confidently say what everyone’s been wondering: The iPhone Air is so light, I forgot it was in my pocket. It’s Apple’s thinnest and most elegant phone yet — just 5.64 millimeters thick — and it completely redefines what a premium smartphone can feel like.

But with all that thinness and portability comes a big question: is the trade-off worth it?
Apple’s Thinnest Phone Ever Feels Unreal
Coming from the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which has been my daily driver for over a year and a half, the difference is shocking. The Air feels almost weightless in comparison — so much so that when I picked up the iPhone 17 Pro Max afterward, it suddenly felt like a brick.
That’s when it hit me — Apple didn’t just make a thin phone. They made one that fundamentally changes how a phone feels in your hand.
Design That’s Meant To Be Felt, Not Seen
Everyone who’s tried the iPhone Air has had the same reaction: pure awe. Despite weighing only 12 grams less than the iPhone 17, it feels drastically lighter and more refined.
I often catch myself picking it up from my desk just to enjoy the sensation — that featherweight feel that somehow still screams premium. The novelty may fade over time, but right now, it’s the most delightful phone I’ve held all year.
Big Screen, Featherlight Build
Let’s be clear — this isn’t a small phone. With its 6.5-inch display, it’s roughly the same size as other flagship models. However, its razor-thin profile makes it easier to hold and slip into tight pockets.
As the headline says, the iPhone Air is so light, I forgot it was in my pocket. If bulky phones have always bothered you, this might be the first one that feels truly comfortable to carry everywhere.
Surprisingly Sturdy For Its Size
You might assume a phone this thin would feel fragile, but Apple’s design team clearly thought ahead. I accidentally dropped mine from a bedside table, and it didn’t even scratch. I even sat on it once — no bending, no cracks.
Online durability tests back that up. The iPhone Air may be thin, but it’s built tough enough for everyday use.
Case Or No Case? The Minimalist Dilemma
I usually go case-free with my phones, and the iPhone Air feels too elegant to cover up. Adding bulk defeats the point. Still, if you’re planning to try Apple’s new shoulder strap, you’ll need a compatible case.
For minimal protection, Apple’s bumper case adds grip without much extra weight — a good middle ground if you’re worried about drops.
Lightness Redefined
The iPhone Air isn’t just thin; it’s an entirely new experience in how a smartphone should feel. Apple has somehow made a device that disappears into your pocket while still delivering flagship power.
If you’re tired of phones that feel like mini tablets, this one will remind you what true portability feels like. The iPhone Air is so light, I forgot it was in my pocket — and that’s exactly why I love it.
