iPhone Air AIR titanium makes it best body of new lineup…17 PM even heavier this year.

Given the air isn't meant to be in a case maybe Apple felt titanium was a better bet against inevitable drops. It looks sleek as hell and to me it’s the best looking of the 4 models by far. But for me, I value features over looks and there are just too many sacrifices with the air. Fortunately a phone’s weight doesn’t bother me.
Just to be clear this isn't directed at you, but that has been going on all week for those who purchased an iPhone 17 Pro or Max, at the expense of those who purchased an Air.
Same here — 16 Pro Max owner and I’ve always bought the Pro Max since the debut. I’ve got the 17 Pro Max on pre-order, but I’m going to check out the Air tomorrow and I’m already 70% decided to get the Air instead of that chunky 2 tone brick!
So maybe not mimic the behavior you don’t like.
I ordered a Pro Max.
Anyone can check my posts. I’ve been excited for anyone buying an Air.
As I’ve said repeatedly, it looks like an amazing iPhone! 👏
There is no best iPhone. People can make their own decision as to what’s best for them.
Me too, and I rarely ever buy first iterations of anything, but I had to go with this one and seeing it yesterday and feeling it and holding the air and the pro max in my each hand unbelievable the difference ….people will see today, but yeah, I found my new phone and will never go back to a brick again and I’m sure the air will just get better and better…next up the fold to see how that plays out.
I have a PM arriving today (supposedly, as the plane is 2hrs behind so we shall see) but I'm seriously considering returning it for an Air. After seeing the promising battery life results and the early damage to many pros' aluminum frame the Air is starting to be more appealing. My only hesitation is the single camera. Never use external speakers anyways and I don't play games or any other heavy intensity work that may throttle it. I don't have an Apple Store where I live but going to try and see the Air in person today at one of the carrier stores. Then decide once I get the PM in hand later today (or Monday).
In the same boat basically…good enough battery for me, great trade off for the weight..single camera is fine for me, in fact, one of the things I’ve always been disappointed in thinking that buying the best iPhone I would just get miraculously good pictures, but I didn’t so that was a wash anyway why waste of money…..external speakers no concern for me either… as long as I can hear somebody talk on speaker every now and then that’s just about the only thing I use the speakers for..another good weight trade off….
Yeah, that’s the best thing you can do is see for yourself in person. I knew there was a difference but seeing the 17 Pro Max in one hand and the AIR in the other hand yesterday it was amazing the difference in bulk.
I am always an innovator and first to adopt new stuff.
My EV car is first gen and it's been a pleasure and awesome ride.
Can't wait to pick up the Air today and dump my 16 Pro.
Just have to remember to bring my accessories as I hate a naked phone...
The 68 grams difference between the Air and Pro Max is massive. Just felt it for myself in-store.
75 grams difference between my old 13PM and the Air. Really massive and massive improvement for me.
