iPhone Air Repair

The iPhone Air was announced on September 9th, 2025, during Apple's "Awe Dropping" event, alongside the iPhone 17 models.

The iPhone Air features a single-camera system similar to the iPhone 16e, with a 48 MP "Fusion camera," which enables 12 MP 2x Telephoto. The camera can be activated using the Camera Control button, which also supports capacitive touch controls, is located on the lower half of the right edge, positioned for a right pointer finger when taking landscape photos. The iPhone Air also features a customizable action button, which acts as a shortcut to directly go to applications like the camera or enable handy functions like the flashlight or Silent Mode. It notably features no physical SIM card slot in any region.

The iPhone Air is priced starting at $999 in the U.S. for 256 GB of storage. It is available in four colors: Space Black, Cloud White, Light Gold, and Sky Blue.

You can identify the iPhone Air by the model number printed inside of the USB-C charge port.

• A3260
• A3516
• A3517
• A3518

You can also find the model number through the phone's UI by going to the Settings app and navigating to General > About. Tap on the number listed in the Model Number section and it should change to a format that looks like A3260.

Additionally, Apple offers a quick online tool to help identify your devices: Identify your iPhone model.

The iPhone Air features a 6.5-inch (diagonal) flat glass screen, thin black bezels, a pill-shaped, black "dynamic island" at the top of the screen, matte back glass, and glossy titanium side rails. It also has a glass "camera plateau" that runs horizontally along the top of the back cover with a single protruding camera.

Volume controls and the Action Button can be found on the left edge, while the power button and Camera Control button are situated on the right. A pill-shaped camera "plateau" containing the camera aligned horizontally protrudes from the back case. This model has no home button.

The iPhone Air can be differentiated from other iPhones by being uniquely thin, while containing modern features like USB-C.
