What about it 'blows you away'? I wasn't a huge fan of the X and my comments from back then reaffirm that.
Got a tip for us?

The feel of it, so light and thin, it's like you are holding a piece of slate/hardened glass almost. You have to experience it yourself, get yourself over to the Apple store and then report back.
It's so, so nice. It's even better than I was expecting and feels amazing in the hand.
I did own the iPhone 6 and 6S which were a very similar thickness to the Air, albeit not having the thicker camera bump, so I am no stranger to thin iPhones lol. I will handle it at some point, preferably not in an Apple store as I try to avoid those as much as I can. They will be in the supermarkets over the next few days. I don't know as though I am the type of person who can promote 'thinness' over features though in my own mind, so I doubt we will have the same experience. Enjoy your new iPhone though, my wife's 17 Pro is arriving between 2pm and 3pm, so I will at least get a play with that.
$999 is already overpriced for what it is. Just give it a few days in the wild, then the battery life/overheating complaints will start.
Keep telling yourself that
I don’t think I’ve ever appreciated a new iPhone more than the Space Black Air that I’m setting up atm. It is a thing of beauty.
You tell them man! How dare people come to Macrumors and actually like or enjoy a new apple product. It’s terrible! This forum is for hating apple products…duh! These airs are clearly going to spontaneously combust in your hand!
Air is in a totally different level to the feel of 6 and 6s. Nothing Apple has ever released comes close to the feel of the Air.
It is an iPhone that looks the same from the front. Once a case is on the phone, its just another iPhone still. If I handle an Air and don't get this magical awakening, I will be very disappointed with you lol.

Double (well triple) the screens and double the cost. They are setting things up for the 2k iPhone Fold
I'd love a foldable (carry both iPhone and iPad mini daily). I just don't love the price.
In a sense, that is a true value indicator. You can get all on us deals on regular and pro iPhones any day with bill credits but not for Pro Max and add Air to that list. So buying outright you get more value from apple - because otherwise you are better off with free Pro.
it doesn't need to be more expensive, however I do think the future of the base iPhone looks like the Air and then we'll see a more expensive base model.
You couldn't read this on a non-American forum.
The Air, from what I can see, is a scam at 999, and this thread is about how AAPL could have scammed customers even better.

I imagine the second sensor is being saved for the next iteration, if the phone sells well enough to continue in the line-up.
