iPhone Air From Air to 17PM to Air to 17 Pro..

[LordArchie]

I feel like a schmuck.

Bought Air... liked it, but poor battery was my experience. SO... bought the 17Pro Max... HUGE!!! Heavy!! so....returned to Air... now, back to the office from 2 weeks off. One aspect of my work is (occasionally, 2-3X week) scan drivers license, where the app does OCR (no different than addling a drivers license to Apple Wallet). massive fail. Cannot get it to focus properly. Thought it was the app, so I tried to just add mine to Apple Wallet. Nope. The Air camera can'f focus close up (DUH!! Should have read the specs)

Anyhow, picking it up later today.

Ordered Midnight Blue, local store is showing all three colors Pro in stock. May do a pivot and go silver.

Now to the ball ache of transferring everything yet again. No matter what scheme I use, it's still a ball ache. 🫤

Edit to add: Yes, I realize "screen size" and I felt the Air was perfect. I want "Pro" but PM is a bit too heavy. I'll miss the screen size, but I'll lean more into my iPad Pro.

I feel you.

That lack of Macro on the Air is a real problem it appears. I had the same issue. I had the Air and Pro Max. Returned the Air because the camera was not good enough and the lack of Macro was the killer for me. Battery life was fine, screen size ideal, lack of weight and size perfect, but that camera. We have become too dependent on phone cameras.

Completely agree.. fortunately I have 1 day left on my 14 day return window.

Hate doing it, it's a PITA but I can't regret long term. Even the cameras of the standard 17 would be fine

As an AAPL shareholder, please stop with the returns and be more decisive with your choices. I still haven't upgraded from my 13 PM as I've been doing research since they've come out. If a return is made, it'll be due to a defect, not something I don't like it.

Air to Pro here……it’s the camera that disappointed me on the Air….loved the design and weight though…….roll on iPhold Pro.

Great sentiment but not always practical. I especially have issues with people returning as new phones that have been damaged repaired and then returned. In this case I had no idea that the lack of the macro would be such a pain.

Returns are a good thing to have available. It’s reduces the risk from people purchasing. People are usually less likely to buy if they know they may be stuck with something they don’t like.

I highly doubt your stock value is taking any hit at all from this.

Apple stock is at a record high and profits are through the roof. Sure you don’t have to worry about returns. 😂

this focus problem is complete ********. ever since they went with 48mp sensor, they've required a focus distance that's longer than arm lengh. I truly prefer my 13 pro camera. don't have to use macro for taking shots of papers

I returned an Air, Max and Pro before returning to the Air. Could care less if I inconvenience Apple or if it hurts their bottom line. I think Apple and Tim Cook will be just fine.

As of today, Apple‘s market cap is $3.6 trillion…So they are teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. Please stop the returns!!!
Poor Apple.

as an ex APPL shareholder (sold when jobs died - have negative thoughts about cfo's and innovation) no problem with your actions - I take it as a sign of poor information on the seller side leading to customer dissatisfaction.

Wise decision, here pro is only $200AUD more for what you get extra.

As a share holder and former employee i encourage people to take advantage of apple's return policy.
I would rather have a happy customer that will be more apt to upgrade in the future, entrap them into the apple ecosystem and introduce a few devices into the replacement inventory than lose a customer.
