Samvad Patar Techno Desk – 10 Sept, 2025

iPhone Air: The Ultra-Thin Revolution
The showstopper was undoubtedly the iPhone Air, Apple’s sleekest device yet at just 5.6 mm thickness. Made from polished titanium with Ceramic Shield 2 protection, it combines lightness with durability.

Cameras: 48MP Dual Fusion system and a new 18MP Center Stage front camera with landscape selfies.

Battery: Redesigned internals allow all-day use despite the ultra-slim frame.
