iPhone Air iPhone Air First Impressions Mega-Thread [MERGED]

Thank you! And thank you iOS 27, love the extended image tool 🤩

Looks great! But please help me: Do I understand it right, that OS27 extends the image software-wise? So in the end it's not a "real photo"?

Ditched my black one last week… sod it, picked up a blue one for delivery Thursday (uk). I just couldn’t quit it.

Some more examples of the excellent extend image tool in iOS 27, very useful given the Air doesn’t have an ultra wide camera!

First photo is shot with the main camera at 26mm, second image is the extended version of that photo.

Yes you are correct! So it’s not 100% exactly taken as seen. It does a very good though, and mostly looks as it did outside of the frame

Not the prettiest Building lol

Is it a good deal to get a like new (opened box) air 1tb at 1070 eur (around 1300 usd) at this point right before the event? Was going for a 17/18 pro max but considering this.

That depends on what you want from an iPhone. If you need the best cameras and very best battery life then the only way to go is the Pro Max’s.

If you want a premium, sleek, light and powerful iPhone and are happy with a few compromises, then get the Air.

The way it looks and feels makes up for the few compromises. Great device.

I don’t want to be redundant, but I have to be: the only way to enjoy the Air is CASELESS 😎

Just ordered a gold 1tb model.

Verizon gave me a hell of a deal, no trade in required (meaning i get to keep my 15 Pro Max), and $830 off on any plan.

With a likely price increase, air 2 delayed to 2027, and having to trade in my phone for a deal, this was a no brainer.

I get it next week though.

Edit: just found out this uses USB2. It probably wont but makes me wonder if it’ll effect me in anyway. I dont do transfers much.

Ok had some time with my new Air and i love it

I went from a 86% battery health 15 Pro Max, and it is comparable to it in current state. Can last me a full day.

Besides the day that i transfered over my phone data, it has not gotten hot at all during normal use like others claim

I dont feel a need for more camera and i love landscape mode while holding it vertical

The single firing speakers are more than good enough for the rare cases i even use it

The lightness of the phone is super underrated. Doesnt sag my pants much.

Probably wont get an Air 2, but hoping they still make a Air 3 so i can get that down the line.
