Yeah I saw that too. It also doesn't let you do the same comparison thingy on the Pro site unless you go through the actual compare website page, quite strange

 

[super chimp]

No esim version in the UK.. Annoyed me as Id prefer a bigger battery to a SIM card...

Yet I’m annoyed that the Air only has e-sim support.

 

[Manda]

Does anyone know if the air has mono or dual speakers

 

[super chimp]

Agreed. The specs when compared to the 17 pro are definitely lacking.

Huh they are very clearly aimed at different audiences.

Mono. It also only has 8GB RAM.

I’m considering the AiR but I’m wondering if it supports pro raw for photos. Can’t see anything mentioned on the website

No ProRes, no ProRes RAW, no ProRAW, USB 2 speeds. On the compare page, you'll see those features mentioned for the Pro phones but not for the Air / 17 / 16.

I love the throwback bumper cases for the Air, leaning on orange pro with a clear case or blue with midnight case

 

[SmugMaverick]

No stereo speakers on the Air btw

Is the “Come back later today to get ready” bit new for this year? Can’t recall seeing that before

Also only the Pro models get 12GB of RAM as per GSMArena.

Now I need to know where I can find a full coverage leather case just like Apple used to do for my future order for the 17 Pro Max, or something similar with high quality, any suggestions? Is there any brands already coming out with the cases? I like to order it before the phone arrives to me, and high quality screen protecter.

pre-pre-order tonight for BPF and pre-order on Friday

I’ll be getting the Air. I have a 15 Pro and I honestly don’t use it for what it’s made for. I’m a little worried about that “plateau” through. Apple’s Bumper protection for it doesn’t protect that, where as those clear cases do. So I’ve bought one of each to see what I like best. The straps being more expensive than the cases is hilarious.

Also getting the AirPods Pro 3. COuldn’t resist. The Apple Watch Series 11 does nothing of any use that my current watch, a Series 9, can’t do so that saves me some money this year!

 

[Mic2904]

It’s that time of the year again….
AirPods Pro 3 pre ordered
Apple Watch Ultra pre ordered

Now need to decided what to do… i have the 16 pro but would love the 17 pro max.

Praise to be Francis… not sure if anyone still remembers 😂

My dream is that they change preorders back to 8am as I’m on a flight to San Francisco this Friday at 1 😩

[gadget123]

£1500 of gift cards added to account. £60 saving will cover the cost of a couple of cases 🙂

I did this last year anybody else do this? I know there’s Eneba and someone work places offer discount

 

[Mat246]

so torras covering the apple logo with the MagSafe ring this year?
