Apple iPhone 17 Air

Apple iPhone 17 Air in Kenya

The Apple iPhone 17 Air (often simply called the iPhone Air) price in Kenya starts at Ksh 139,000. It marks a historic shift in Apple’s design philosophy. Combining the “Air” legacy of thinness and portability with the raw power of the Pro series, this device is the thinnest smartphone Apple has ever produced, measuring a staggering 5.6mm.

Engineered for those who value minimalist aesthetics without compromising on display quality or processing speed, the iPhone Air is the new centerpiece of the 2025/2026 lineup. Grab the iPhone 17 Air at Fancytech Online Shopping today!

✨ Design: A Breakthrough in Engineering

The defining feature of the iPhone 17 Air is its impossibly slim profile. At just 5.6mm thick and weighing only 165g, it feels nearly weightless in hand while maintaining structural integrity.

• Grade 5 Titanium Frame: Built with a high-gloss, mirrored titanium finish that is stronger than aluminum and resistant to bending.

• Ceramic Shield 2: The front features Apple’s latest glass-ceramic tech, offering 3x better scratch resistance. For the first time, a Ceramic Shield back is also included, providing 4x better crack resistance than previous models.

• Minimalist Camera Plateau: A precision-milled rear plateau houses the single-lens system and sensors, maximizing internal space for the battery.

• IP68 Rating: Despite its thinness, it remains water-resistant up to 6 meters for 30 minutes.

   

📺 Display: Pro-Level Fluidity (120Hz ProMotion)

The iPhone Air slots perfectly between the Pro and Pro Max with a 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display.

• 120Hz ProMotion: Finally, the “Air” model receives the adaptive refresh rate once exclusive to Pro models, ensuring buttery-smooth scrolling and gaming.

• 3000 Nits Peak Brightness: The highest outdoor brightness ever on an iPhone ensures the screen is perfectly legible even under direct noon sunlight.

• Anti-Reflective Coating: A new specialized layer significantly reduces glare, making the OLED colors pop even in bright environments.

• Always-On Display: Stay updated with your Lock Screen widgets without waking the phone, with the refresh rate dropping as low as 1Hz to save power.

🚀 Performance: The A19 Pro Powerhouse

Under the hood, the iPhone 17 Air is powered by the A19 Pro (3nm) chip, the same silicon driving the Pro Max, but optimized for the Air’s slim thermal envelope.

• Next-Gen Neural Engine: Built from the ground up for Apple Intelligence, handling on-device generative AI, advanced photo editing, and Siri’s most natural interactions yet.

• 12GB RAM: A massive jump in memory ensures that the iPhone Air handles high-end multitasking and future AI-heavy workloads with ease.

• Connectivity: Features the new Apple C1X modem for 5G-Advanced speeds and support for Wi-Fi 7, delivering ultra-low latency for cloud gaming and streaming.

   

📸 Camera: Single Lens, Multiple Possibilities

While it features a single rear lens to maintain its slim profile, Apple’s computational photography makes it behave like a multi-lens system.

• 48MP Fusion Camera: The large quad-pixel sensor allows for high-resolution 24MP and 48MP photos. It effectively acts as two lenses, providing a high-quality 2x optical-grade crop.

• 18MP Center Stage Front Camera: An all-new front-facing sensor with a square format that allows you to take landscape selfies without rotating the phone. Center Stage ensures you are always perfectly framed during FaceTime calls.

• Dual Capture: Record 4K Dolby Vision video using both the front and rear cameras simultaneously—perfect for vloggers and creators.

   

🔋 Battery & Charging: Efficiency at its Peak

Apple has utilized high-density battery technology to fit a 3,149 mAh battery into the 5.6mm chassis.

• All-Day Battery: Thanks to the efficiency of the A19 Pro and LTPO display, the Air offers up to 27 hours of video playback.

• Wired & Wireless Charging: Supports PD 2.0 fast charging (50% in 30 minutes) and 20W MagSafe/Qi2 wireless charging.

• Adaptive Power Mode: A new feature in iOS 19 that learns your habits to intelligently scale performance, extending battery life during your busiest days.

Note: The iPhone 17 Air represents the peak of Apple’s “less is more” philosophy, replacing the Plus model with a design that is as much a fashion statement as it is a high-performance tool.
