The iPhone Air may be the best buy right now for those looking for an ultra slim smartphone. In the Philippines, Beyond the Box is having a big discount where the 256GB variant is down to Php 59,890, equivalent to a Php 17,100 price cut.
In comparison, the 256GB iPhone 17 costs Php 57,990 at the same store. With a minimal price difference, you might wonder why you would choose the iPhone Air with only one camera, smaller battery, and eSIM-only support.
However, the iPhone Air is more premium due to its titanium frame which is stronger on paper. It also has the Ceramic Shield glass used in the iPhone 17 Pro series, A19 Pro processor (with one fewer GPU core), 6.5-inch display, and it's the lightest iPhone today at 165 grams.
If you're still hesitating, remember that Beyond the Box's special price is valid until March 28, 2026, so you have plenty of time to think about whether the ultra slim iPhone Air is right for you.
