Everyone loves guessing what their favourite celebrities are hiding in their pockets, and cricket fans have wondered the same about the iconic Virat Kohli for years. iPhone or Android? Top-end or something quieter? Turns out, the answer is not the obvious flex you would expect from a cricket superstar. Virat Kohli has been spotted with an iPhone Air in a gym selfie on Instagram where he's holding what looks like the black variant. And if you know anything about the Apple iPhone Air, you know it is less about showing off and more about going minimal.
At just 5.6mm, the iPhone Air is the thinnest iPhone Apple has ever made, and it doesn't try to hide that fact. However, it is thin, wiry, tough, powerful and and quite flashy, a description that would fit the extremely fit Virat Kohli too.
It runs on the A19 Pro chip and carries a 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion, so the performance is very much there. What it drops is the excess: a single 48-megapixel Fusion rear camera instead of a full array, and some give on battery life too.
It's not Apple's most expensive iPhone, nor its most loaded one, but it's built for someone who wants the premium feel without carrying the bulk.
This isn't the first time Kohli's gadget choices have leaned understated. He's also been seen wearing a Whoop fitness tracker, a screenless wearable that quietly monitors health, recovery, sleep and exercise without pinging him with notifications all day. So we know he likes staying away from screens and distractions while the data works in the background.
The iPhone Air seems to follow the same philosophy as Virat Kohli and between the two, the cricketer's tech shelf tells a pretty clear story, one where function wins over flash, every single time.
