    Carrier How is the call clarity on the Verizon Network with iPhone 17 Pro & iPhone Air? Is it the same?

    How is the call clarity on the Verizon Network with the iPhone 17 Pro & the iPhone Air? Is it the same? Is the call clarity better with the iPhone 17 Pro over the iPhone Air since it has the larger earpiece ? Thank you .

    Apple Frost Case - Yellowing

    My Apple iPhone Air Frost Case is already yellowing on the buttons. I keep my case in my pockets at work and wear khaki chinos, so it could be the dye from the fabric. Anyone else experiencing this? Not a gripe, just surprised at how quickly it has happened…

    iPhone 17 Pro iPhone Pro to Air switch or vice versa

    With the ongoing narrative of the Pro Vs the Air, curious to find out how many of us actually went all out and switched from the Pro to the Air (or vice versa) along with those of us contemplating such a move.

    iPhone Air Leak says Apple already pausing iPhone Air (parts) production

    According to a Weibo leaker (from the supply chain): ------ Exclusive — Apple is halting production of the iPhone Air due to weaker-than-expected overseas demand and a delayed launch in China. The production line has already stopped pre-production, meaning existing component inventory is...

    Other Should we tone down the camera comparisons a bit?

    I'm as guilty as the next person at getting caught up in analyzing these cameras to death, so I'm definitely the pot calling the kettle black here. But I had two scenarios over the weekend that helped bring me back into a more balanced perspective. I had my 16e with me over the weekend. I've...

    iPhone Air iPhone Air quality issues

    I just saw an iPhone Air on display at Walmart and I gotta say I’m absolutely disgusted at the low quality materials Apple is using in this thing.

    iPhone Air Personal Opinion on the Air

    A Pro Max Only user since iPhone 13 Pro Max, the Air feels like a fresh breath of air. I can only imagine that I was carrying more power than required in my pocket, and that no matter how strong the A-series chips are, they cannot match the computing of the M-series. And no matter how large the...

    iPhone 16e 16e Weight

    This might seem like a pointless post, but I just realized the 16e only weighs 0.07 ounces more than the Air (1.99 grams). That made me think of a couple of things... First, further confirmation the Air is impressive given its footprint, excellent screen, and the fact that it still weighs...

    iPhone 17 iPhone 17 Series Battery Mega-Thread: Life, Cycles, Capacity, Health, etc.

    Hi all, Yes, it's launch day, but as we're all starting to receive our phones, it's time to start this thread off! What's your battery health, and what's your cycle count? For added iPhone 17 fun, what's your manufacture date and are you using adaptive power/charging limits? I'm somehow...

    iPhone Air iPhone Air w/ Telephoto Lens Would've Been Killer

    Looking into iPhones 17 this year to upgrade my 12 Mini. Went to the nearest store and played around with the phones. Overall very impressed with what Apple had done with the 17s. The base model iPhone 17 is solid but alas no Telephoto lens, which makes sense given it's price point. But...

    iPhone Air iPhone Air, less is more?

    The IBM PC came out when I was in college and I've been an active participant and user of personal technology since then. A few products come to mind when I hold and use the iPhone Air I purchased yesterday. These are my analogies, yours may vary. Palm Pilot Vx - a very different form from...

    iPhone Air Any iPhone Air owners considering a switch to the iPhone 17 PM?

    I got an Air 512GB model yesterday. First impressions were similar to everyone else - it's amazing and an engineering marvel. The longer I've used the device, the more I'm not certain I made the right choice given the Pro Max (256GB) model can be had for the same price. This is a tough decision...

    iPhone 17 Pro Pro vs Air Decision

    The air definitely has a premium feel to it thanks to the titanium and glass sandwich formula. It’s slimmer than the rest of the lineup, but the descriptions people are using are a bit hyperbolic. Is everyone coming from a max sized phone? Maybe I’m less impressed since I’ve used some pretty...

    iPhone Air talk time on the iPhone Air

    apple has reported that the iPhone Air gets about 20 hours of video playback time. which is impressive for such a thin phone. is there any lab or person that has estimated the number of hours of "talk time" (on cellular calls) ? thanks very much.

    iPhone Air Fixed but oof: Never had a phone so messed up at delivery

    Iphone air delivered, first thought it was my first gen AW Ultra gen 1 but then the stupid phone wouldn’t connect to my AirPods either. What is going on? Anyone else experience this? Is this a hardware issue with Bluetooth? I’ve upgraded every year since the 3G and never experienced QA like this...

    iPhone Air iPhone Air Black Scratches - BAD!

    Went to the Apple Store to look at all the new cool phones, watches, and just generally to see how the new design is. Kind of felt it was cool but not enough to buy - today. AND... I picked up this black phone - today - first time on display and it is scratched bad. No other phones were...

    iPhone Air Can you buy another iPhone model while you are in for your pre-order pickup?

    Not sure if anyone here has done this in the past. Assuming a large Apple Store (in my case, SF flagship store) has a walk-in stock of a new iPhone 17/Air model, do you think they'll let you purchase it while you are at the store for a pre-order pickup tomorrow? I've pre-ordered a 17 Pro, but...

    What case did you buy for your IPhone Air?

    Im finally ditching my 15 Pro Max for the Black Air. I was an avid buyer of Apple phones every year but decided to skip the 16 because it didn't give me that awe factor. I know im losing features with the Air but with my daily use i dont use most of them anymore especially my camera. I take a...

    I see there are EU, UK and USA threads. Creating this one for all of us in general who may fall out of those regions. Which model did you get? I’m in South Africa. Got 17 Pro Max 512GB in Silver. The unit is already out of stock so may only arrive 2-3weeks after launch.
