Apple’s $999 iPhone Air: Wrist Pain Now Slimmer, Heartbreak Thinner

At Apple's 2025 event, they unveiled the iPhone Air — a $999 masterpiece thinner than your excuse for skipping gym day, with a 6.5-inch screen that teases Max fans by robbing only 0.2 inches from the 17 Pro Max's 6.9-inch behemoth. The writer’s weak wrists, crushed by their loyal Pro Max, now pray to Tim Cook for salvation, adorned with a wrist brace thanks to a pillow fight mishap (because that’s how rough tech addiction gets). Battery life suffers for sleekness, requiring a $99 MagSafe battery pack from T.J. Maxx chic. One lonely camera lens stares back, redeemed only by features like Center Stage stalking your every move and Dual Capture filming both your meltdown and the kid’s basketball flub. Finally, Apple gave us a phone light enough for doomscrollers too fragile for the weekend.
