and the Pro Max in screen size at 6.5 inches, which means its big enough for video and light enough to forget it is there.<\/p>\n<p>The 120Hz ProMotion LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED display hits 3000 nits of maximum brightness, putting it level with the Pro models in screen terms and making it equally capable in harsh daylight or a darkened room late at night.<\/p>\n<p>\n        Advertisement

12GB of RAM and storage starting at 256GB, which means the iPhone Air handles everything a daily driver needs without thermal throttling becoming a concern in normal use.<\/p>\n<p>The 48MP Fusion rear camera with a 26mm focal length takes excellent photos and handles low light well, though it is worth knowing there is no telephoto or ultra-wide, so the versatility of a multi-lens setup is absent here.<\/p>\n<p>Video recording reaches 4K Dolby Vision at up to 60fps, and the 18MP Centre Stage front camera features a square sensor that captures both portrait and landscape selfies without
