I'm not worried. I just wonder how much time reviewers think the average person has, maybe they have the time to film landscapes all day, but most people will only be using the camera for special functions I would think, or maybe I'm just weird.
Got a tip for us?

On a side note did you notice the horrible scratch on the blue pro max when he’s talking about signal. Eek!Good thermal performance 🤣 🤣 🤣
If you stick it in a fridge!

The regular iPhone 17 ended up hotter in this test. No fridge needed for exaggeration here lol
My pro and pro max which said 24th-29th just went to preparing to ship as well and I got charged. Looks like they’ll arrive on Friday too!
I love the balance test!!! Perfect. So excited.
Early reviews are about on par with what I expected. Nice to see it holding up in some early battery testing. I’m not surprised it throttles pretty aggressively, I guess the pro chip is mainly for efficiency/battery? I’m curious to see if it can retain higher performance with one of those external heatsink phone coolers. Unlikely a dealbreaker for people choosing the Air anyway.
Nice. I’m in no rush since I only use these when I travel. I have a 5w anker and it’s painfully slow so the next one needs to be at least 12w.
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.

I find all this conjecture hilarious given my usage. Heavy usage for me is taking too many screenshots. And I literally have only 12 non-apple apps, I just counted. Gaming is Tom's Gold Run and Uncrossed. (OMG...I better get out the cooling pad.) /smh.
The tests were under processor intensive usage. I never play any games let alone what they were playing lol
Got the generic bumper case for the Air. According to my postal scale it weighs 0.8 oz. Oddly enough it was the only non-metal bumper case for the Air I could find at Amazon earlier this week. The rest of this week I am downsizing my 15 Pro to only the phone and a screen protector, which bumps its weight up from 6.6 oz. to 7.1 oz. This is mostly to compare the two phones as I would use them. By my calculations they would be 8 oz. for the 15 Pro with case and screen protector to 7.0 oz. for the Air with the bumper case and a screen protector. The screen protector is a non-negotiable item in my book. Since the practical weight difference between the two is nearly negligible, it would take some serious convincing on the Air's part for me to buy it. Maybe I'll go with a screen protector only and reserve the bumper case for hiking or more rugged situations. Can't wait for Friday.

The 15 pro was pretty lightweight but you're also comparing a 6.1" screen vs a 6.5". I think 1oz isn't a huge difference but it's noticeable in hand day to day, at least to me.

The one video I watched it was a race car game. I've tried a few over the years and crash within seconds, I'm not very coordinated.
I have the 16 pro now and it's actually fairly light without a case, especially after the 15 PM. If it hadn't of been for the air I would have probably just kept it for another year.
Did you get your shipping notice? Do you have an ETA? 48 hours from now I will have mine.
Whoa! They are really starting to get cranky in a couple of those other air threads.
Anybody else impressed by the bend tests, these will be a lot sturdier than a lot of people thought. I don't always watch jerryrig since few people are going to be doing that to their phones. I'm usually more into his screen scratch testing.

Preordered mine through my mobile carrier. ETA is Friday and I’ll get a time slot on Friday morning 😀
The bumper case's greatest value may be in its insulation properties. All of the titanium models get toasty without a case on.
I had a 16PM for 2 weeks but downsized to the 16P for the past year. I think it's about as heavy as I like a phone. I would've kept mine for another year as well.
From early reviews it doesn't seem to get too hot. I'm sure it can if you're putting it through heavy usage like gaming, but that's probably not something you're doing regularly if you're picking the Air.
I will check here before I leave for ISPU, appt is 10:30, you should have yours by then.
Awww bummer. I almost did that too, they had the battery pack listed first, but it's not arriving until Monday. And I don't think I need an appointment, I can just go whenever.
The 16P is a great phone. I am going to really miss it, but I need the trade in credit. And I wanted a slightly larger screen, I think the slight increase in the air will be fine.
I'll likely miss the ultra wide but everything else I'm fine with. I'll also have 2 weeks to change my mind 😅
