If you’ve been waiting for the price to drop on Apple’s thinnest iPhone yet, Best Buy is now offering an unlocked 256GB iPhone Air for just $839.99 (originally $999.99). The deal is available in Cloud White, Light Gold, Sky Blue, and Space Black. Price drops on current-generation unlocked iPhones are rare, making this deal worth considering.

iPhone Air 256GB (Unlocked)

The main appeal of the iPhone Air is its ultra-slim design. At just 5.6mm thick and 5.8 ounces, it’s the brand’s slimmest offering, but despite its delicate silhouette, it still packs durability in a titanium frame, a 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display with 120Hz ProMotion refresh rates, and the impressive A19 Pro chip. Reviewers consistently praise its ergonomic and lightweight nature, making it an ideal upgrade for anyone who finds Apple’s other flagship phones to be bulkier than they’d like.

It also comes with a 48MP Fusion camera system, MagSafe support, and all-day battery life. While it doesn’t last as long or have the camera versatility of Pro models, this unlocked 256GB iPhone Air is a top choice for those who value portability. If you want to upgrade without locking yourself into a carrier and get all the features and power of a regular iPhone in a much slimmer frame, this is one of the best offers available for a limited time.
