FULL STORY ======================================================================

The iPhone Air Apples contribution to the emerging thin-and-light smartphone trend made waves when it replaced the iPhone 16 Plus as the middle-child iPhone earlier this year. And now, its set to make waves again with a

Its incredibly rare to see big cash discounts for current-generation flagship iPhones during the Black Friday deals season, or indeed at any time in the first year after launch. A discount of 100 (okay, technically 99.90) is certainly more than I thought wed see for Apples sexiest iPhone ever (per our iPhone Air review ). Today's best iPhone Air Black Friday deal

Well, this is a surprise - we don't normally see price cuts on current-gen iPhones during Black Friday, but this 99.90 discount on Amazon is certainly a welcome sight. The iPhone Air is the thinnest iPhone ever, but still packs a hardware punch thanks to its 6.5-inch ProMotion display, A19 Pro chipset,
48MP camera, and 256GB of storage. View Deal

So, what makes the iPhone Air itself so special? For starters, the iPhone Air is the thinnest iPhone of all time at just 5.6mm thick, and having briefly used the phone myself, I can tell you its possibly the most beautiful, too. Its 6.5-inch display and rear panel are made from Ceramic Shield 2 glass,
with a polished titanium frame; its as much of a fashion statement as an iPhone has ever been.

Apple has achieved this by shifting most of the phones essential components like the top-end A19 Pro chipset into the raised camera plateau, which also houses the single 48MP fusion camera. That lone camera was the focus of much discussion when the iPhone Air launched and remains a real consideration for potential buyers who are used to premium phones with multiple rear lenses.

Pushing the iPhone Airs core components into that plateau means Apple could fill the rest of the chassis with as much battery as possible which, given the phones slim frame, was absolutely the right thing to prioritise. In our testing, the iPhone Air lasted an entire work day, but didnt quite make it through a full dawn-to-dusk day of use. Its a good thing the phone supports MagSafe and USB-C charging for easy top-ups.

If I can put on my speculation hat for a moment, I think this deal comes at a pretty conspicuous time, given recent rumors of poor iPhone Air sales . I think Apples at its best when its making weird and unique products like the iPhone Air. Still, it seems that general audiences are leaning towards the great-value iPhone 17 or the all-out power of the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max which could be why were seeing such a substantial cash discount on the middle child iPhone Air.
