Touch ID is a deal breaker for me. I have sweaty hands and Touch ID has never worked reliably for me on any iPhone or iPad. I know I’m in the minority, but Face ID works flawlessly for me and I could never go back.
The closed form factor is why I’m not getting it. Just like the Fold 8. Too small and short.

I do like the software design on it, but the form factor isn't for me. Also, I can see the under the screen camera and that would bug me.

Love it... but who use's ultra wide man? No telephoto is a no from me, does it have wireless charging even? Magsafe? Or did I miss that?
oh and one more thing, all of a sudden the old style split screen is back that we cant have back on ipads? Really Apple?

Looks pretty incredible, but can't help to think there are some sacrifices we won't know until the coming days.
The Air was a shocker when it was shown and after owning it for a few months, realized it was not a phone with limitations, such as speakers, battery, etc.

The camera is honestly the one hang up I have. For the price point, I wish it had the top of the line camera as well.

Speaking of form factor, as a lefty, it's completely designed for a righty. The control locations when closed wouldn't look the same on the left side. I didn't think my dealbreaker would come from that, but it really might.

It's just a 48mp to 12mp crop "2x"
same. I do like the GUI but not really liking the actual design of the device itself.

I was expecting more from it considering the hype tbh. It’s a folding iPad mini with the screen being the main selling point. Underwhelming camera too, but it was always going to be a niche product so only has to appeal to a certain segment.
It has magsafe according to the compare page, but they didn't talk about it

I do because I like to take macro shots! I'd rather have ultrawide than telephoto any day.

I like some of the design changes, esp. the under-screen camera and boxier aspect-ratio. The design language should migrate to the other phones.

I'm a lefty and that was my first exclamation during the announcement... not sure how that will work. I do use my right hand a lot to hold the phone and then my left hand to manipulate the screen, so maybe it will be a nothing sandwich, though.

I use my current phone (air) one handed most of the time. Stinks. I have to use it in person before deciding.

I guess because my hands are like child-sized that wasn't in the cards for me either way! LOL. I can't even reach across the iPhone Air screen with one hand.
They sold me on this! I was dead set against it. Was going with an iPhone 18 Pro Max.
But, damn, that is a nice phone and I don't use the extra camera features on the iPhone Pro Max so the 48 megapixel is good enough for me.

I noticed this too. Makes me wonder if that’s Apple’s plan - basically make this the previous ipad experience, saving the iPads to be what they’ve become
I'm the same, outside work dries the skin and Touch ID fails, has to be Face ID for me.

It's a great-looking phone and came together way better as a whole than the sum of the leaked parts leading up to it. The software and hardware working together is fantastic and I love the little details.
I would love to get it but the lack of telephoto lense on the back is a gamestopper for me. I travel and take too many photos with the different lenses on the Pro to lose the telephoto one.
