I just realised the 1st icon with the phone logo for tinted icon is greyed out for silver iPhones. those with black iPhones likely the same too.

What’re you yapping about?

Any iPhone air users here? How has the experience been so far after almost 1 month in

 

[Anxious]

So far so good.

Pros: Coming from 15 Pro, really feels super thin and light (I'm not using case).
Battery life surprised me, better than 15 Pro. Maybe still new or its the new IOS.
Bigger screen than Pro series is a plus point since age catching up.

Cons: Only 1 speaker, although sound output is still decent.
Camera - i seldom take pictures, so cant really comment.

Overall: Will still buy if i get to choose again as i find the Promax series too bulky and Pro series getting too small for me.

I bought iPhone 17, Air & Pro Max at launch. In the end I returned the Pro Max and kept 17 & Air. This is coming from a Pro Max user since 13 (14, 15 & 16)

I really love how thin the Air is and fell in love every time I’m using it. I switched to eSIM just for this phone. I find speakers and battery life is acceptable for me. The only pain for me is the lack of ultra-wide camera (when I want to take macro shots and I can’t do that) other than that it’s pretty good.

Bro my question is how you juggle between so many phones?

I’m only left with 17 & Air after the Google Store debacle

haha I had the air initially and returned it for a pro max after watching flossy's video ; he really did put things into perspective with regards to "what exactly are you paying for" ; but man I miss the air's size and portability. this pro max is like a brick ; and I came from a 16 pro max before this too

really don't know what I should go for ; lol!

So easy bro, you are only sacrificing the ergonomics and size for the pro max, but you are sacrificing everything else for the air.

Didn’t realise that the air is not yet launched in china… btw not sure how successfully the air will take off in china, china’s youth are shunning luxury goods for life experiences, whereas the air is a luxury very much based on pricing and positioning

Between the 17 and air, do you really find a huge step up interns of the aesthetics? I mean the air is really a neat piece of engineering work, but how much better than the 17

In Taiwan air has very poor reception... Too many stocks and price keeps get discounted ..

Does that mean that ur carrying both phones at the same time?? So kinda 50-50 usage... So the battery life not an issue since u can also fallback to the regular 17 for tasks..

China has a lot more rich people. I'm sure the air will do very well there.

Yah, air is like a piece of art. They'd carry it to show off. Or give it as presents to their village. Haha.

Taiwan ppl will look from CP值 point of view so either normal 17 or Pro series.

I think the price point is probably too high for that market

It’s quite a huge step up but logically it is not worth it. The 17 is the better deal.
