iPhone Air iPhone Air versus iPhone 16 Pro

Has anyone swapped their iPhone 16 Pro for the iPhone Air?

How do you like it?

I did initially. Ended up going with the 17 pro. The Air is an amazing device and feels great in hand. I appreciated the slightly extra screen compared to the pro. Feels like you’re holding a piece of glass with a display. The 16/17 pro feel like bricks comparitively.

Ultimately I decided the speakers and camera were things life were things I needed to have. I also wanted the better battery of the 17 Pro. Another underrated feature is how much better my reception has been on the 17 Pro compared to the 16 Pro. Air was good. I’d put it in between the two.

Battery on the Air was similar to my 16 Pro after a year of use. Maybe slightly better. Phone didn’t get as hot to the touch since everything is up in the plateau.

I think the word Pro is getting in the way of things. 😁 I genuinely adore the Air’s feel. Although it lacks certain lens features, taking pictures with the Air is significantly clearer compared to those on the 16 Pro. Other YouTube users have also noticed this. I’m hesitant to purchase the 17 Pro because it’s overkill for my needs.

Any other 16 Pro owners ambiguous about making the swap?
