The best iPhone Air preorder deals in Australia – outright and on-plan options to grab Apple's skinny-yet-powerful new handset

Usually, you have to weigh up the opportunity to own a thinner, lighter phone against the performance limits of a handset that size. However, Apple's all-new iPhone Air promises the MacBook Pro-level performance of the iPhone 17 Pro, stuffed into a 5.6 mm and 165g frame. With preorders officially opening at 10PM AEST on Friday, September 12, we've collected all the best preorder deals available to help keep your wallet as fat as possible while buying Apple's new skinny iPhone.

The iPhone Air starts at AU$1,799, filling the hole left by the oft-overlooked iPhone 16 Plus between the standard iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro. That said, it's very much its own model – ditching the '17' moniker, sporting the powerful A19 Pro chipset and a gorgeous new slimline body that's different to any other iPhone.
