It’s funny to me as an avid Pro user since the 11 or 12 pro up to the 16 pro max.. ever since switching to the iPhone Air I have taking so many more pictures and honestly do not miss the lack of the other lenses I just find it more enjoyable having to “work” for the picture I want it’s challenging but the results are amazing doesn’t feel stagnant like I felt with the 16 pro max. Am I the only one?
 
Same here!

I don't really use the camera feature much on my Air, nor my past Pro/Pro Max phones - just quick snapshots.

But when I do use it it's awesome.

Just got back from Maui, Hawaii and loved the camera features I used for the first time.

Normally I take my DSLR with prime lenses to control focal depths, but this trip I left it behind and have to say the 17 Air lenses did a pretty good job.

The Air is my favorite phone this iPhone season, and the camera is great. But this is kinda like saying I love being poor, so I have to work to pay my rent. I’d also just rather have ultra-wide and telephoto capabilities.

Having recently dealt with the need to move my body to get the shot I wanted (when I've been used to just switching lenses) - yeah that's something I haven't had to deal with in a long time.

I guess that's a positive way to look at having less lenses :D. I absolutely love this phone. Would I like more lenses and a dual speaker setup? Yep. But not willing to get that and have to carry around a brick.
