iPhone Air For those getting the air

[Cedo_]

Why did you pick it over the others ?

What colour are you getting ?

For me it’s very simple, it has the power of the pro in a small and light package. I had a 16 plus before and it is 199g which is heavy. The pro has a smaller screen and is the same weight and the pro max is a heavy 236g.

The air gives me a 6.5” screen, almost the same as the plus with a lighter weight and 19 pro chip. I also get a 2x zoom which is all I need. Seems fine for the job. My 12 year old is getting my plus as he needs a phone for his new secondary school …

I am getting black, just looks cool

This was the first year that I’ve had trouble deciding on what to get.

I ended up choosing the Air because it’s something fun and new. If I don’t like it, I have two weeks to return it and try something else. Worst case, I’ll only have to wait a year for the latest and greatest.

I chose the sky blue. Looks really clean.

I think we are all going to be pleasantly surprised

This is my plan. If I dont like it, I may try an iPhone 17 possibly. Or just stick with 16plus if all else fails. I did not like the weight of the 16pro for its size, 17 pro is 7g heavier than 16 pro too! and 17PM, 6g heavier than 16PM.

I think I've ruled out the Pros though, I just dont want that kinda weight in my pocket for the extra features it offers. Not worth it to me on paper for what I experience in hand and the pocket.

14PM weight was a lot to deal with for the 2 years I had it. I shall not forget it so quickly.

I’m tempted to get it, but I’m worried about the titanium frame generating too much heat. If it were aluminum, the thermodynamics would be better, but it would also be less rigid.

I also considered that. The new model seems to follow the design of previous Pros: titanium frame and glass back, which isn’t ideal for heat management. But for the Air, the CPU is nestled in the ‘plateau’, so even if it gets hot, it is away from my palm contact. As long as I don’t feel the heat, I wouldn’t worry too much.

I am getting the Air in Cloud White with 512GB. I am coming from a 16 Pro Max and can't wait for a lighter and thinner phone. My plan is to keep this Air for the next years to come and stay away from buy a new phone every year. I can live without all the cameras a Pro would give as I am not really in photography, only for the occasional family shot. I can also live without a bigger battery, only for occasional travelling I also purchased the MagSafe Batterypack for the Air. I am excited to try my Air, which comes 09/19, if the battery holds indeed for 24 hours.

I expect I will probably miss the telephoto lens — not a critical factor, but perhaps the only downside I foresee from this change after years of using Pro models with three cameras. I was a red-hot early iPhone user, the device in my hand all day, batteries crying out in exhaustion and despair. But I've grown more sedate, or possibly the phones have grown a bit less exciting to me. This Air, though ...
