Apple recently increased the price of the iPhone Air to Rs 149900, up from Rs 129900. This price hike casts a new light on the iPhone 18 Pro, launched recently at Rs 164900, making it a more attractive option for many consumers.
iPhone 18 Pro: A Step Up in Performance and Features
The iPhone 18 Pro is powered by the A20 Pro chip, which Apple describes as “desktop class”. This represents a significant leap in performance compared to the A19 Pro found in the iPhone Air. While the A19 Pro is a powerful processor, the A20 Pro offers a noticeable upgrade.
Beyond processing power, the iPhone 18 Pro boasts advancements in its camera system. It features a primary camera sensor with variable aperture, a feature not available on the iPhone Air. The iPhone 18 Pro also includes telephoto support, further enhancing its photographic capabilities, which the iPhone Air lacks.
Price and Design Considerations
Both the iPhone Air and the iPhone 18 Pro come with 256GB of internal storage. The price difference between the two models is only Rs 15000, a relatively small amount, especially when considering financing options.
Design-wise, the iPhone Air features a Titanium frame, while the iPhone 18 Pro utilizes an aluminum body. The iPhone Air was initially released last year, alongside the iPhone 17 Pro models, and was targeted towards users prioritizing a thin and stylish device. However, the iPhone 18 Pro offers a more powerful camera experience and improved battery life.
The iPhone 18 Pro is currently available for purchase in India.
