Other Predict the biggest letdown for iPhone 17 Air. Camera or battery life?

[LoveToMacRumors]

Personally it’s the camera, because nowadays, you can charge your phone at a lot of places.

However, the single camera is going to be a deal breaker for me, no telephoto means bad zoom, 4/5 pictures I take are zoomed.

Otherwise, I love the thinner device and lighter form factor.

What about you?

I don’t think it’s going to be let down at all. It’s going to have a camera and battery life that’s close to the regular iPhone, but thinner and lighter.

Of course we’re all just guessing because the only person that knows anything is Tim Apple

Battery life gonna suffer. Less physical space means less battery. Whether the battery life reduction matter or not is subjective tho.

Battery for sure. We've already seen battery size like this perform in the past and it won't be any different with the Air.

I have a 16e with a single camera (with 2x zoom/crop) it does take excellent photos so I don’t think the camera will be a letdown, unless you are a photographer and need all the bells and whistles in the camera department.

I’ve read somewhere that the 17 air may have a variable aperture liquid lens. How true and likely that is, who knows!

The rumoured 2800mAh battery may well be a letdown.

As usual it will be battery life.

Camera is important in phones, but those who care will be going for the pro max. Most people don't care super hard about the camera and apple has managed to do good things with only one lens before.

Yes, the camera will be very good just like all iPhones even with one lens.

The 2800 Mh battery will be the real issue for some people, and will be on par with the 13 Mini (the math don't lie). However being very light like the Mini and a large Promotion 6.6” screen should attract a lot or customers.

If Apple can get the battery life on par with a base iPhone 16, then this will be so much better and might get one myself!

The usual suspects:

Battery (not whole day), performance (throttling), camera (no UW).

It too early to tell. Depending on which rumour you listen to, battery may not be stellar, but should be sufficient for many, but for me, no ultra wide rules it out.
