Other Can someone explain iPhone Air to me

[Barbareren]

THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT WHY THE FIRST AIR SUCKED. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE 2020 AIR HOLY COW.

Jesus. Take a chill pill why don’t you. What does a 17 y/o MacBook Air have to do with a yet to be released iPhone Air anyway???

It’s all about the aesthetics—being chic

It's definitely design-focused, but I will say a lot of people consider decreased weight and bulk while maintaining a large screen a meaningful functional benefit, myself included.

they will sell the crap out of the air regardless of what people here think!

Indeed. As I am still rocking an Xr and actually have no problems with it, the much thinner/lighter Air will still be a vast improvement in all senses.
And no: I don’t care about having four cameras in the back nor some vapor cooling chamber.

It's the only Apple phone I am remotely interested in from this year. Still going to pass but if I were to buy something Apple this year it would have been the Air. People simply do not understand how much others are willing to give up or pay for the 'flex' factor. I also think analytical data sent from our devices is telling what people primarily uses their phones for, or how many times they used the zoom function. Personally I think I used it 20 times on my 13PM since 2022.

its a new product line that was designed to eat the market share of the base iPhone 17.

it probably has 15-20% less component cost to the regular iPhone 17, and comes with a 15-20% price hike.



business genius tbh.

This claim is highly unlikely considering the BOM breakdown of the 16 and considering the Air has a larger display, shares the more expensive camera, and has the pro processor

So Guys should I wait for another year to Get Air?

why would you wait a year to get the most beautiful, most impressive iPhone Apple has ever made?

Why are you coping?

Don’t use 2023 prices


1 camera
Apple modem


5 year run rate of cannibalizing regular iPhone 17, 18, 19, 20+ sales
