Are you embarrassed to use the iPod touch 7 in public?​

I mean maybe some people could be… but not for the iPhone air lmao
 
It would be rather odd to feel embarrassment in public for having a phone, even a Samsung 😉 though the Air is attracting a lot of looks and comments here in Vietnam. People are quite enamoured with it though I’ve yet to see anyone else with one.
 
Just saw the new iPhones in person today and the Air was the best looking of them all. The Air is a gorgeous design! My only gripe is the mono speaker, but everything else is beautiful in my opinion. Feels lightweight but very solid, etc.

Definitely not embarrassed to take out my naked space black Air out in public!

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?
How insecure can you be?
 
You’ve made some great jokes about the post. And of course, those jokes and written replies in general emphasise that my thought is completely absurd. Which is a good thing, as it should be.

However, as I’m writing this response, the poll results are as follows:

15.5% (13 people) have answered that they have had such feelings.

There are total of 84 respondents.

Have some answered “yes” just as a joke? Possibly. Or, maybe they really meant it. If so, then my question was relevant, even though, logically speaking, it’s not something that should even be asked, as you so constructively and politely pointed out in your replies…

I was using an iPhone SE3 (looks like the 8) before getting the Air. Absolutely no embarrassment here.

Only gripe is abysmal battery life otherwise I'd gladly keep using it.

My iPhone 8 is battered, it’s gold with a black screen and white home button and the back glass is peeling off lol. I bet your SE3 looks way better!
