iPhone Air Do you still love the iPhone Air?

I was at an Apple Store last night and I saw people changing their minds from the pro to the air plus 90% of the employees have the air and the guy that was helping me was like I only got the pro because Verizon was giving it away if I upgrade but I want the air. “Failure” is a relative term

Same thing at my Apple Store. Majority of the employees on when I was there had AIR’s. I watched some people change their minds on the 17PM and ge the AIR.

I'm thinking about getting an iPhone Air. I know that some of you have bought one and had a "wow" experience when first using it, but do you still feel that way about the phone? Or is it a phase that has faded? I'd like to know.

Oh yeah, when I first bought it, I was in love with it. After the honeymoon phase was over, I realized how much of a power user I was, and ended up getting a 17PM. The Air was just not enough battery wise and for me that was the deal breaker.

I still have it, I’m strongly considering selling it. It’s a beautiful phone, it’s unfortunate it’s not selling as much as Apple wanted.

Most people here in this forum are invested in the Apple ecosystem, owning anywhere from two or more devices. We are already sold on the company, how they stand behind their products and what to expect going forward. Thats a big advantage for Apple.

As Apple customers and supporters, it’s odd that iPhone Air hasn't been as popular as the company expected. Especially given Apple's experience in market analysis and experience determining what their customers want in new products.

It’s even more interesting that Apple themselves seem to have made no effort to promote this new model. Shortcomings aside this is an all new form factor that deserves all of Apples marketing expertise, yet received none.

One thing for certain is that it will be quite entertaining to see how this situation plays out.
