iPhone Air Returned the Air ... wanted to keep it.

The deal breaker?

No wide angle.

Yep, I use it that much.

I was comparing the Air with my 16 Pro for this past week and the lack of wide angle is rather glaring.

Everything else missing between the Air and Pro was acceptable.

Now ... 17 Pro or not? (my old 14PM had me swearing off the Max models)

That 17 Pro feels nice in the hand ....

Maybe an Air Pro will appear next year lol

Also, the 1x on the Air is 26mm and the 1x on the Pro is 24mm and that 2mm makes a noticeable difference.

When switching to video on the Air it just gets sucked in further, like 28mm, maybe 30.

Fair enough mate. Whatever makes you happy.

That’s fine, you needed something that the Air didn’t offer. You should do the Pro next. It’s still a a decent sized phone.

that 6.5 screen was nice and I could finally type again without constantly correcting lol

It also brought me back to favorite iPhone .... the iPhone X.

i traded in my 17PM for the air lol i rarely take photos and when i do its 95% main sensor 3% telephoto and 2$ ultra wide angle lol so i doubt ill miss the others much if at all, i only used like 40% of what the pro phones could do i just got them every year to show off saying i have the best iPhone lol

Exactly and OP knew there wasn’t a wide angle but uses one sooooo much. These threads should be combined into, “I didn’t read the spec sheet.”

Or the reviews…..or the product presentation……or look at an image of the back of the product prior to purchase.

Yea dummy. Why did you create an entire thread about pro vs air? Who does that... 🥲

 

[klasma]

If the ultrawide is the main dealbreaker, you should consider the regular iPhone 17, for something lighter than the Pro.

A 6.5” thin depth Pro sounds interesting.
