Everyone knows there\u2019s an iPhone event just around the corner, but if you don\u2019t want to spend over a thousand dollars on a new phone, we\u2019ve got a fantastic deal for you today: Best Buy is selling the iPhone Air for $850, a savings of $150 and the best price we\u2019ve ever seen. And since this is an unlocked phone, there aren\u2019t any carrier pitfalls to navigate.<\/p>\n

The iPhone Air is Apple\u2019s thinnest phone ever<\/a> but still a powerhouse. It\u2019s got a 6.5-inch display with an A19 Pro processor and 256GB of storage, and an incredibly strong frame. It won\u2019t bend, break, or budge, but you\u2019ll still barely know you\u2019re carrying it around due to its remarkable 5.6mm body.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re only getting one camera with the iPhone Air, but it\u2019s a good one. The iPhone Air has a 48MP Fusion camera system with 2X optical-quality zoom and digital zoom up to 10x. You\u2019ll miss out on features like macro mode, telephoto zoom, and spatial photos, but if you just want to be able to take your phone out and snap a great pic, it\u2019ll be more than enough.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s a fine trade-off for how thin and light it is. I\u2019ve been using the iPhone Air since last September, and I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever switch to another iPhone. The screen size is perfect and thanks to the thinness, I can comfortably use it with one hand. My fingers never touch the camera plateau, so it feels like I\u2019m holding a thin piece of glass.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll admit that at $999, the iPhone Air is a luxury item with too many tradeoffs for most people, but at this sale price of $849<\/a>, you\u2019ll wonder why you didn\u2019t buy one earlier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Everyone knows there\u2019s an iPhone event just around the corner, but if you don\u2019t want to spend over…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":560794,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[111,139,69,145],"class_list":["post-560793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=560793"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560793\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/560794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=560793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=560793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=560793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
