Call me crazy but this one was the best black color on the iPhone. And they haven’t decided to use it again in any of the newer iPhones

anyone care to explain how putting the flash further from the lens will help improve pictures and not just introduce more shadows?
 
the single speaker thing is concerning tbh. hopefully the audio performance isn't significantly degraded.
 
I want a smaller Air maybe 6.1" or 6.2" at the vey most. And rounded sides/edges.

So there are two bumps: the first bump and THEN a camera bump?

I'm guessing they did that so the camera bump wouldn't be so pronounced - or am I missing something?
Where are you seeing a double bump any different than the current phones? Did I miss something?

It’s a budget phone is it not? How much does a person really rely on those tiny speakers? If I need to hear that well I pop in an AirPod or I cast to a HomePod.
 
what color options... boring washed out pastels...not even 1 bold color option. So lame!

Love the iPixel design for real, no spider eyes cameras and the Pixel itself (at least with the 9a) got away from that iconic design.
 


Apple plans to offer the iPhone 17 Air in at least four colors, including Black, Silver, Light Gold, and Light Blue, according to a leaker known as Majin Bu.

The new lighter blue color option for the device was first mentioned a day ago by Fixed Focus Digital, a Weibo account with more than two million followers, and Majin Bu said that he has confirmed this information with his own sources.

It is unclear if Light Gold and Light Blue will be Apple's actual marketing names for those colors, if this rumor proves to be accurate.

Majin Bu said that the Light Blue color will be similar to the Sky Blue finish offered for the latest MacBook Air, so perhaps Apple would opt to extend the Sky Blue name to the iPhone 17 Air. This is merely speculation on our part.

As a refresher, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to be the thinnest iPhone ever. However, the device is expected to have some compromises compared to iPhone 17 Pro models, including worse battery life, only a single rear camera, only a single speaker, and potentially either an A19 chip or a slightly limited version of the A19 Pro chip.

The device is also expected to have a 6.6-inch OLED display, MagSafe, and 12GB of RAM.

Apple should unveil the iPhone 17 Air in September.

Majin Bu has a mixed track record with Apple rumors. The account was recently accurate about iPadOS 26 introducing a Mac-like menu bar.

I hope those colors are only a rumor, or a misdirection. Because those are ugly colors.
 
What are some of the new phones features?
My iPhone 13 is almost 4 years old. I would like to get a new one but I am to so sure that a new one would be dramatically different. I like the idea of having a chip that is AI capable, but what is it suppose to do, that asking a question on Chat GPT cannot do?

I have a 14 Pro and a 16e.
The 16e has Apple Intelligence and it's not that much of a bonus.
Photo cleanup is about the only feature I use regularly.
 
The silver one will be white. Not happy with these 'light' finishes. Very disappointing to hear about these colours. In short it looks like it will come in black, white, barely blue and very muted gold/cream colour. Apple should go bold on the colours.
