I don’t really understand why it exists? Kind of a middle ground between 17 and 17 Pro? Instead of the 17 plus I guess? I just don’t get it.
Got a tip for us?

You know it’s a bad sign when they don’t define what all day battery life is and then debut their custom designed battery case. I am guessing the battery life isn’t very good.
They never have. Nothing new.

Because some people have a real problem with perceived weight. The Pro and particularly the Pro Max models are seen as heavy.
And they are willing to sacrifice battery life to get 'lite'.

They never state battery life. This is nothing new.

Look at Apple’s product history. The MacBook Air’s thin design became the standard for their laptops. The same will be true with the iPhone Air. It’s a glimpse at the future of iPhone’s hardware design language.

For me, all day battery life is more than enough, just like my AW.
I charge once overnight both AW and iPhone.
Can't wait for the 17 Air to replace my heavy 16 Pro.
What is there to explain lol
You can watch the keynote for details or wait until the updated website goes live

I’m literally watching the keynote. I just don’t understand where it fits. Is its min feature really ‘its thin’
One of the best iPhone events ever !
The new iPhone air is incredible and cannot wait to see it in stores .

Yes. If that doesn’t appeal to you, they also made one that’s not thin.

They are heavy compared to the top end Android models.

I’m leaning towards the air now. If I don’t like it, I can always return it.

Are you serious?
Air: it’s thin and light
Pro: new colours and better battery life
Most underwhelming event i remember

People said the same thing about the original Macbook Air.

It has a pro chip with no pro cameras 😅, what are we doing here lol. Just bring back the Mini.

Thinner, lighter and tougher. Carry it without a case for much less bulk in your pocket. Actually, I want that. My 15 Pro in its case is such a lump. And the Pro features I would lose are mostly things I never use.

It's for people who prefer thin phones, that's it.

Who said that? Nobody did. And the original MacBook Air was horrible and not worth the price.
Apple copied Samsung Galaxy Edge. That's it. Nobody needs Edge either.

It's a test bed for the tech they want to use in next year's folding phone.
