Cricketing icon Virat Kohli has frequently been spotted using a strikingly slim smartphone, notably appearing with the device in a recent gym selfie shared on Instagram. Moving away from the heavier Pro and Pro Max line-ups, Kohli appears to favor Apple’s ultra-thin flagship: the iPhone Air.
Alongside other prominent figures like Rohit Sharma and Akash Ambani, Kohli seems drawn to a handset that prioritizes featherlight portability without sacrificing flagship-tier internals.
