iPhone Air Do you still love the iPhone Air?

[awshucks]

Got it! Thanks.

So what are the primary functions that you use it for?

I use it to open the default Camera app and visual intelligence, and that’s it. I don’t do any of the special half-press camera features like changing zoom and exposure because I find it more fiddly to do those functions with the button than on the screen.

Agreed about using the control switch for those other functions but I've never tried the visual intelligence and was curious about how you use that particular feature.

I like how the Air feels in my hand, but I wish I had the Pro Max for the bigger screen.

Too many sacrifices. Wait for Gen 2.

Or Gen 3.

Filmed this quick clip to show visual intelligence in action. Long press the button until it comes up. Hope this helps!

I've had my Air since launch. I still really like it, but I think my thin Peel case and screen protector really diminished its "premium quality."

I hated the Apple Bumper case at first but grown to really like it after a few days. Bumper without a screen protector was a winner for me.

I'd still prefer the Air screen to be smaller though. I think I would have happily paid $1000 for this if it was a mini or Pro size.

Try it caseless, believe me 😉

Mine is completely naked 😄

I did install a screen protector, but I removed it after a few days because it just felt so wrong and it ruined the super thin look, and I swear I could tell the added few grams!

The Air is incredible to hold and the best way to appreciate it and how Apple intended, is completely naked ❤️🤩

 

[joshwithachance]

I do, but it’s no longer my primary phone. The battery life and lack of camera versatility relegated it to backup phone/primarily offline day duties.

I did for a while! I'm a little worried about it during those couple times a month my toddler gets a hold of it and throws it around. I also think it might actually be a little too thin, it's a bit hard for me to grip it when typing without a case on. That's why I thought the bumper was a good alternative.

While I prefer to use my Air without a case, the Totallee Scarf, at a thickness of .02", adds almost undetectable bulk with the added benefit of better grip due to the slight texture, at least on the Frosted Clear version. The body color still shines through but you do lose the bright appearance of the stainless steel which is replaced by a frosted aluminum effect. The clear version wouldn't alter that stainless appearance but those shiny clear cases always remind me of the dreadful sticky plastic seat covers used to protect the old folks' sofas and car interiors... 🙁

Are you using the Magsafe one and if using the normal one will it still work with a Magsafe charger, but provide weaker connection?

I have the plain one and it is so thin that Magsafe works fine, no problems with connectivity.

Great! I have the space black, best colour imo 🖤

I’m in the UK and got a great deal on the 1TB version last month. Maybe Apple will price the Air 2 at a lower price point now the Air is selling better discounted, who knows! 😄

I have the blue and sometimes I wonder if I should have gotten the black. It would be unique as I have not had a dark Apple device since my space gray 2017 MBP (that I used two years). Unless it's in an outstanding color like Cosmic Orange, the next phone I buy will definitely be black.

The sky blue does look good too! I’ve had mostly black iPhones, I think the space black really suits the Air’s thin profile, it just looks so stealth and sleek.

 

[majkom]

I would by some vibrant blue one (if there was iphone 16 blue on iphone air, man that would be awesome).
One day on air, i am really enjoying how light that great screen is🙂

Two black iPhone Air’s in this house 🖤
