I think we are all going to be pleasantly surprisedThis 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 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 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 ...
I agree. The trade-off from bad audio to slightly worse audio doesn’t seem like much of a sacrifice.
Mine is still stuck on 9/25 delivery.
Since I'm ISPU, it just states "your order is in progress" and it'll probably stay that way until the night before IIRC
Yup, my ISPU says 9/19 pickup.
It's a nonissue for me, movies and music sound 1,000 times better with AirPods Max. Phone is muted the rest of the time, since notification pings and ring tones are annoying and disruptive.
I thought that sounded fun too, tracking the items progress from point to point. But I don't trust the local delivery living in a building with hundreds of units surrounded by other buildings with hundreds of units. And the store being 2 blocks from here makes it a no brainer.
Ah, yes I know what you mean - UPS tends to just drop it off at the door and leaves without signature.
Agree. I'm not even entertaining the idea of returning for something else, I just know this feels right. I love my 16 Pro and I'm going to miss it, but it's way more phone than I need, and the only reason really was for the refresh rate.I think we are all going to be pleasantly surprised
They never request a signature even though the senders require it, seems to me it's a service people are overpaying for. In fact I know I am, last Christmas I spent more on shipping than the actual gifts cost. From now on, if it's not on Amazon then it's just not going to happen, can't beat free delivery with Prime.
I'm doing the same - trading in my 16 Pro for the 17 Air.
Yeah I have mixed feelings on the battery case, I might use it if I'm in a part of the house where I don't like having tech cables strung all over the place. I'm not an accessory person and often don't use cases unless I'm going out of the house. Plus, I feel anything put on it is going to add weight, even just a bumper, and run counter to the idea of having a phone called "air" to begin with.
Did you check your shipping date again? A lot of people in other threads are reporting their dates changing from the 25th to the 19th. Maybe if you hard close the app and reopen it?
I have no idea what the QI charging spec generally is, but the Apple MagSafe discharges at 12W. I share your experience with heat issues and will use my Anker wired banks initially.
