Apple Launches ‘Game Changer’ Slimmer iPhone Air With Denser Battery

UNITED STATES – Apple is unveiling a new, slimmer iPhone “Air” model with a high-density battery and a brand new processor, priced starting at $999.

The iPhone Air model was the star of the annual product launch event, with CEO Tim Cook calling it a “game changer.” Apple said the model is its most durable iPhone yet.

It will use the A19 pro, a processor chip that the company said it had tweaked for better energy efficiency and performance to match the device’s thinner battery.

The company also launched the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro, as well as a new version of its AirPods Pro wireless headphones and a blood pressure monitor in its latest Apple Watch. The company effectively cut or held prices steady on these updated models.
