When you're done we need you to use it outside in indirect sunlight for about half an hour. Need to know if the screen dims as aggressively as the 16 line!

Well that's you. Many of us use the speakers all the time.
Speakers?
Thought it only had one speaker?
Being item 2. on this list suggests a lot of concern.
There’s lots to talk about other than how it sounds.
I can hear clear crisp sound from the speaker and its thin as paper.
I took it out in bright sunlight and it's actually very good but im sure thats across the line. No trouble seeing the screen
Benchmarks are useless compared to real world use.
The speaker on my Air is loud and clear. Plays music and video really nicely.
I honestly can barely tell the difference enough to notice, let alone care.
At maximum volume it’s a loud speaker. More than good enough for doomscrolling, YouTube, loudspeaker calls IMO.
Apple knows what they are doing, they likely have a roadmap for the Air that culminates in the Glasswing phone they are working on for release as 20th anniversary.
The Pro line will continue for quite some time but I think they have the data that shows that 90% of users are fine with just the two lenses and likely you see an Air that either has a dual lens design or just has two cameras and that shows up in a cycle or two.
Definitely this is an iPhone X situation where the Air is the new design language for iPhone and is expected to make up the bulk of the sales at some point in the future.
I really couldn't stand the shiny bezels on the older Pros. Hated the way they felt. I'm wondering if they'll be as a much of a problem for me on the Air since it's a lot thinner and lighter.
The matte feel is actually one of the only things I'm looking forward to about the 17 Pro Max.
I noticed that the black Air had marks on the device from the MagSafe charger. It made me wonder if the device will mark easily as the devices in the Apple Store would have only been on display for a day.
How are you going to annoy people on public transport with just one speaker???
I mean it will matter for gamers or those who use real CPU munching apps. A lot of us don't care to game on our phones. The ones who do should get a regular iPhone or an iPhone Pro.
Maybe they'll just buy 2 and carry one in each hand now!
If he's got it in hand and it's working out for him, why does he need to refer to someone else's stress testing? Good grief.
Not long got back from the Apple Store myself. The Air is absolutely stunning 😍
I’m headed back a little later to pick one up in sky blue 😁 coming from an iPhone 15 pro

Buts, can you chop ice with that iPhone hAir?
kidding,
that looks nice and thin like the iPod touches B4 the 5,6,7 were released!

Appears that this first version of Air is a test case to measure public acceptance.
Second gen models may include two cameras, two speakers and a slightly larger display to compete with the Galaxy Edge which currently has a leg up over the iPhone Air.

I use the speaker and im using it now and it's a good sound. Im saying that I wouldn't add any weight for another speaker thats the size of a single rice. It's fine that you like that but I just don't need it. if I turn my speakers that loud then I should be wearing headphones and respect others
its so thin and light that its amazing that it even has a battery.
They are ok on the black iPhone Air, since they are really black as well.
But not on the white versions, those chrome bezels would distract me too much.
Material wise for the iPad Pro I think the 16 pro max / titanium was the best. maybe next year again.
It doesn't need a vapor chamber to keep it working and thats great. It's also made of titanium and doesn't look like it has a sticker on the back.
fully charged to 100% around 1030 in the morning. Disconnected from charger.
Indexing ofcourse, setup a few apps with logins, busy with several forums/sites, 4 facetime calls, using other apps, few photos taken. Listened to some Spotify.
now at 5.00pm at 73%.
I am pretty satisfied so far with the battery

I found the 6.5" display to be perfect, you can actually notice the difference while I struggle to notice between the 6.1" and 6.3" Pro models.
Space Black is the best colour this year.
