Apple iPhone Air

256 GB · Space Black · UK A3517 · dual eSIM · MG2L4QN/A

iPhone Air in the 256 GB Space Black UK configuration. Its 6.5-inch OLED display, 165 g weight and 5.64 mm thickness give it a different size profile from the Pro models. The camera comparison distinguishes the main-sensor 2× crop from a dedicated telephoto lens.
