What phone does Virat Kohli use? Now we know and it's a surprise

Right now, celebrities are going gaga over the latest iPhone 18 Pro, and rightly so. It is Apple's most powerful iPhone yet. But cricket legend Virat Kohli seems to be going against the crowd. His daily driver appears to be an iPhone which is far less talked about.

In Short

• Virat Kohli is using the thinnest iPhone ever made
• His iPhone comes with a single camera system
• Under the hood the phone has Pro level Apple silicon

What phone does star cricketer Virat Kohli use? Can you take a guess? Something top end maybe but what exactly? What brand, which model? Is he an Android user? Or does he use the iPhone? While people with coveted fan following, be it actors or cricketers, are known to endorse tech products from time to time, what they use as daily drivers has been the subject of curiosity and speculation forever. King Kohli, at least at this point, seems to be fixated on one phone and truth be told, the choice may strike you as something surprising.

Virat Kohli has often been spotted using the iPhone Air, which was launched in 2025. More recently, he shared a gym selfie on Instagram, holding what appears to be the black variant of the iPhone Air. Measuring just 5.6mm, the phone has an ultra-thin body and a single 48-megapixel Fusion rear camera. While it does make some compromises on the camera and battery front, the iPhone Air still packs some serious hardware, including Apple's A19 Pro chip and a 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion.

The iPhone Air is neither Apple's most expensive iPhone nor its most versatile, but it is the thinnest iPhone yet, designed for users who want a premium iPhone experience in a remarkably slim and lightweight form. And it seems King Kohli is all in for that experience.

Why might Kohli prefer the iPhone Air?

Of course, we exactly don't know why Kohli chose this phone, but looking at what the iPhone Air offers, we can see the appeal. The iPhone Air offers plenty of Pro level performance and features without the bulk of a traditional flagship. Given Kohli's busy lifestyle, it could offer just the right balance of everyday functionality, a lightweight design and understated elegance.

Interestingly, this isn't the first time Kohli has been spotted with a device that keeps things simple. He has also been seen wearing a Whoop fitness tracker, a screenless wearable that tracks health, recovery, sleep and exercise without displaying notifications throughout the day. It collects data in the background, without demanding the constant attention that comes with a smartwatch.

The iPhone Air follows a somewhat similar approach. It is slim and powerful, with an emphasis on design and the essentials rather than trying to pack in every feature available on a Pro model.

In our detailed review of the iPhone Air, we found it to be more than just the thinnest iPhone. It delivers a premium iPhone experience in a slim, lightweight design, combining strong performance with Apple’s powerful silicon with a stunning display and a design that is a pleasure to carry and use.

In fact we even recommend the iPhone Air. If you want a slim, stylish phone and can live with its camera and battery compromises, it makes sense. But if you want the most capable iPhone money can buy, the Pro models remain the more practical choice. It will get things done while also giving you the best of Pro.
