TECH NEWS – A day has passed since the official release of Apple’s fall product line, and there’s already talk about the iPhone Air!

Just a day after its launch, the iPhone Air is facing complaints from early buyers who say condensation is forming on the camera lens. Photos of foggy lenses have been posted on Twitter, raising questions about whether Apple’s ultra-thin iPhone can withstand real-world conditions. The problem occurs sporadically. Some users have reported foggy spots on their camera lenses after experiencing sudden temperature changes or being in humid environments. While this issue is not uncommon among smartphones, it is surprising in a premium iPhone, especially since Apple has emphasized design refinements aimed at durability.

Luke Miani was one of the first to share a photo on Twitter, stating that condensation had formed on the camera of his brand new iPhone Air purchased on the first day of its release. Another Twitter user, Dongle, shared pictures of his iPhone Air and noted that he believes this is a common problem with the smartphone, which replaced the previous iPhone Plus product line. This year, only the base model, the Pro, and the Pro Max were released alongside the Air.

It is not yet known whether the problem is widespread, but if so, it could reinforce the criticism that Apple has gone too far in its pursuit of a slim design. Even if the condensation on the iPhone Air’s camera lens disappears on its own, it could damage the phone’s reputation among early buyers. Some users speculate that the problem stems from reduced sealing or differences in heat dissipation compared to iPhone 17 Pro models, which feature a special heat treatment solution.

If condensation forms on the iPhone Air lens, it is best to allow the phone to reach room temperature so that the water droplets can evaporate naturally. Store or use your iPhone in a dry environment, and avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent the lens from fogging up again. Apple has acknowledged that condensation on the camera lens is abnormal and can cause long-term hardware damage.
