Well the charge went through on my card and the processing is complete, the order has moved into the "shipped to store" phase.

I think the Air is one of the best looking iPhones ever. I love black iPhones for there premium and stealthy look. The Space Black Air looks gorgeous.

Apple are saying it’s more durable than any previous iPhone with the titanium frame and latest gen Ceramic Shield. I imagine the polished titanium will be durable and be resistant to scratches and mark etc (it is their first mirror finish titanium) so we’ll see!

3x more scratch resistant and 4x more crack resistant for the front and back glass. This is really designed to be used caseless.

They even show in the video of it dropping and bouncing lol

Replying to this so the pictures of all the colors come up again. It didn't really work.

James6s-can you repost please?

Nice find. Where did you pull the 7.5W number from? I don't see it on amazon. Anker has a 15W one but I wish it was as slim as this one.
Found one that's Qi2 and 15W, also 6.5mm thick. I'm a bit dubous about the claims tho, so I won't recommend you buy one until mine arrives and I check it out.

studio lighting but the blue Air looks great IMO. very subtle blue, but it looks more pleasing to my eye than the white

I thought the same thing. In pictures they seem to have this rough aluminium look, but in the videos they look much more clean and deeper and saturated.

I ordered orange pro for wife, blue pro max and air for myself (will chose one). Really curious to see them all in person.
 
I'm SHOCKED...

The reviews actually have me EVEN MORE excited about the Air.👏🏼
Yeah crazy isn’t it! So I’m less worried about the single speaker now - yeah it’s a bit crap but it’s enough for a quick video watch (like when someone sends you a link vs a full movie).

I’m also not worried about the battery so much.

The one thing I wasn’t worried about I am now - no ultra wide!

The verge video did it, she said she had to keep moving back to get landscapes in.
 
Nothing in the reviews to make me second guess my Air preorder! 🤩

Battery life is pretty much level with the regular iPhone 17 which has a larger battery.

Thermal performance is good and after a while the regular 17 became hotter.

The single speaker is loud and clear, of course it’s not going to be as good dual speakers. But sounds good to me.

Roll on Friday!

Apple hit a HOME RUN* with the Air. Truly.👏🏼

(*Even with the compromises.)
 
Would be cool if the legacy or classic extension for the one was updated but know that will never happen. A lot would pay good amount for it not all of course.

My point is was quicker, by only a little, with new content on any kind of discussion forum. Sometimes too much so. The Air should be good though definitely weight wise of a device but not only that.

Definitely! Can’t wait 🤩

Also the camera performs great, 1x looks the same/very close to the 17 Pro in daylight. Low light is also good but the 17 Pro will pull ahead obviously in extreme low light shots.

Portrait mode with the single camera is also great and it works on any object and not just people.

Now that I am looking at the new Magsafe Air battery, I think white would be better than any other color ?

The charge light is orange which is dated because it reminds me of my Magsafe 1, 2, and 3 chargers used on my Macbooks.....

Battery pack does not charge any other model I have (14PM and 16 Pro) - the battery has to be placed 90 degrees from the phone.

Ahh, that’s disappointing as I’ve always loved Apple’s own MagSafe battery.

I would go with White or Gold Air, both would look good with the battery attached.

Just found a review about the key disadvantage. Depends on who is using the Air though with that.
 
I think the black and white are the winners, even though they are all nice.

Same here. There will be a lot of people right here on MR eating crow.
It is good that no one will be mobile gaming for an hour plus on the Air.
I know right. I rarely play games on phones.

Agree, glad I followed my gut feeling and got this phone.

You summed it up well. I've just never found phone speakers to ever be good, whether android or iphone. Plus I'm hearing impaired and it'll never be loud enough for my standards.

My cat and car will be glad to hear that, those two are in more of my phone pics than anyone else.
