All of those lines had their own share of fans. I loved the mini, I love my Air. Maybe those models aren't iPhone Pro-level successes, but who cares. How does it hurt you if apple has lines that don't really cater to you? Let other people be happy with the products that make them happy. I'll never cheer for a product that's dropped even if I don't see the use for it. Someone else probably does.
Have you tried it? Not in the store but actually purchased it and used it for a week?
I think the huge, huge majority of people don't postpone buying a new phone in march because there may be a new phone in September. Most of my family has no idea new iPhones come every September. People on these rumor sites are not representative of the majority of the market.
people should consider not giving suggestions about devices that are not fit for their use, and comment/ask on the ones they do.
… people running them have no conception of a good product versus a bad product. They have no feeling in their hearts usually about wanting to really help the customers …
iPhone Air is uniquely designed to house all of the internals in that 'camera bump'. It's actually where all the phone internals are.
What you described is the regular iPhone and the Plus. Just drop the Air name already. Its over. What this will do is just increase the price for the base model to 999 just because AIR. That is not good.
And lighter, and much better materials (titanium/glass), with the same pro processor etc etc
Why are you comparing phones of different screensizes. The whole point is the air has a big screen yet its so thin and light. A fair comparison would be with the iPhone 11 Pro Max at 226 grams which is significantly more. Anyone can make a tiny phone lightweight, its much more impressive to make a big phone light weight.
It is a huge difference and phone weights matter much more then a laptop which ultimately will be put on a desk for 99% of use. Phones go in pockets which then sag etc under the weight and bulk of most modern phones. I hated lugging around my iPhone 14 Pro Max. My air is so light sometimes I forget its in my pocket and do a panic check looking to see where I dropped it only to feel it in my pants.
That’s why I think the slightly thicker Samsung Edge was a better compromise between size, weight and tech features vs the iPhone Air. I’d like to see what Apple could do with a 5.8mm thick phone body in a Gen 2 Air. That said, have you ever held the Edge or Air? They’re genuinely more pleasant to hold vs the current lines of brick-like phones.
No its not. If you had a Pro and you went for the Air because of the weight then why not just buy the regular. 177 vs 165 grams. That only confirmed my suspicion even more. People don't buy the Pro because they needed it, they buy it because they don’t want the poor people iPhone even though its better than the Air.
I agree. What Apple should keep from the iPhone Air 1:
