iPhone Air is also generating curiosity
The iPhone Air is also a hot topic among the tech crowd and hence, is generating search requests on Google. Replacing the previous generation iPhone 16 Plus, the iPhone Air takes an entirely new direction with the ‘middle-child’ iPhone – a total focus on a slim and lightweight for factor.
The iPhone Air is just 5.6mm thick at its thinnest section and weighs just 165 grams. This makes it an impressive choice, considering that the slim body houses Apple’s highly capable A19 Pro chipset, a 120Hz ProMotion OLED display, a single 48MP Fusion camera system, an all-day battery and the latest iOS 26 with Liquid Glass design theme. Starting at almost Rs 1.2 lakh, the iPhone Air ends up being a tempting choice for those who can stretch their pockets while considering the standard iPhone 17.

The search trend shows India’s swelling spending power opening up for expensive smartphones.
