iPhone Air Are you embarrassed to use the Air in public?

[klasma]

Haha this is so stupid! I just wear a mask outside now I have an air.

Makes sense if the air is tainted.

I feel embarrassed reading this thread.

Right ?

Terrible post - so now we should make fun of those who are embarrassed to carry a Pro or Pro Max phone ???

 

[klasma]

I could never leave the house without my 3 cameras.

Canon, Leica, and Nikon?

 

[MacDaddyPanda]

Lol what adult thinks like this? This has to be under age person.

 

[ctbear]

Everyone is just taking shots at the post, and I agree it's a lot...but they aren't wrong that the weird intense vitriol toward Air users is real and a thing. I mean, I think it's just a thing HERE, but still a thing.

I'd say threads like this is the exact reason why the attacks exist. Nobody cares if it weren't all for all the justification threads.

There’s been an unfortunate amount of negative chatter about the Air lately, and Pro (Max) users in particular (not all of them, of course) often seem eager to prove it shouldn’t even exist. So here’s a question for Air users: have you ever caught yourself, while using your Air in public, feeling a little embarrassed that someone might see you with this so-called “compromise” phone?

I would find it odd if someone felt embarrassed about getting the Air, even as a 17 PM user I am curious to see the sort of person who chooses the Air, it may be wide variety of people be it a CEO who just feels they love how thin and easy it is to carry and use it in their suit or a soccer mom who just wants a large screen and thin phone that works as her digital assistant daily while it also looks stylish with her favourite outfits or some creative person (musician, designer etc…) who appreciate minimalism.

The Pro Max is much more for someone who buys a BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE or Porsche Cayenne when they don’t need all that it brings while the Air is more for someone who may buy a BMW Z4, Porsche 911 or Mercedes-Benz SL. They can have the same motor etc… but they serve their buyers differently for what they want.

I think you’re onto something.

I have an air and would choose a 911 over a Cayenne 😅

The whole point of the Air is that it’s a flex that makes other phones look incredibly porky. I’m not sure why anyone would be ashamed to own it.

much like apple, the air is becoming an actual cult .

Seems a bit immature to worry what others think.

Are you embarrassed to have made this thread in public?

In all seriousness though the iPhone Air is just a phone. Few people know what it is and fewer still care about it.

 

[Cyberguycpt]

Why would you care what people think. According to many replies in these forums this is how I look in public and I don’t give two thoughts about it. I love my phone.

 

[Sammael]

Well Cyberguy, the good thing about Nokias, you could drop them from space, and it still wouldn’t scratch them.

I pelt Air users with eggs in public when I see them. Gotta whole purse full of them ready to throw. Pro Max über alles

 

[aevan]

I always use air in public. First of all, I’m not ashamed of using it. I need it. Second, if I held my breath whenever someone is around, I don’t think I’d make it far.

I think paintballs would be more effective. /s

 

[NicosAccount]

I'm embarrassed that you asked this question on a public forum.

right lol, im more embarassed by this than anything haha

 

[indefinite]

I'd be embarrassed. Trade-in programs give $1,100 off Pro phones but just $800 off the Air phones which actually makes the iPhone Air more expensive than the iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max. So knowing that, I would feel a split moment of second-hand embarrassment knowing that someone opted-in to pay more for a worse iPhone.

Embarrassed about the future of mankind

 

[ipsedixit]

I am embarrassed for all us, myself the most, for contributing to this thread.

We have seen the enemy. And it is the Air. 🤣

 

[Iwavvns]

Why on earth would anyone care about the opinion of a total stranger? I mean, they don’t supply our food, shelter, or clothing, and they are not our owner. No one can make you feel inferior without your permission. And your enemy can only work with what you give them.

Welcome to the world of owning Apple devices, the various groups supporting each all have their little battles between each other. Usually the Intel Mac Pro crowd gets all the vitriol from the Apple Silicon folks and back and forwards it goes...

If someone has an iPhone Air, good for them, lovely looking phone but not quite right for my needs, but perhaps it suits the needs of someone else and good luck to them with their new purchase.

 

[iPhone-Guy]

I don’t see why people would/should be ashamed of the air. It definitely isn’t for me, the thinness is impressive but pointless, the screen size is uncomfortable, and the camera is too much of a compromise, but my friend is seriously considering and Air and I still think it would be awesome for him. Also why would you be embarrassed about it or look down on someone for having it? That’s like disliking someone who has a mini
