I love my air.
The form factor, huge beautiful bright screen, weight and speed.
I’m doing great on battery, if I am in car, I charge it. When I’m at my desk, I charge it. Set it to 80% from day one.
On the camera, selecting 48 megapixel allows cropping that still looks sharp.
If I really need a good picture, I would bring my Nikon.
My only problem so far is the phone gets lost in my pocket and I panic I lost my phone. Then I feel it and all is well.

Anyone have a tech woven case and are you happy with it? I’m awaiting the arrival of my cosmic orange 17 pro.
I have the blue tech woven on my orange 17PM and m very happy with it. Used to use leather cases almost exclusively but the tech woven makes me not want to get one
I’ve often used leather too…but the tech woven looks really nice to me. Besides the camera plateau, does the orange show anywhere else?
Very happy with my 17 Pro Max, Dark Blue, 1TB. It runs cooler, the screen is brighter and the battery lasts longer. Also, I like the new camera layout for the front.
yup. there front actually. the photo actually looks dull, but you should get the idea. I love this look.
To put it bluntly the iPhone 17 pro max candy orange is a treat, coming from the 12 pro max gold which was starting to go stale.
In fact the softer (squisher) aluminium body is a delight compared to the sharper edges of the older models.
Oh i nearly forgot, this is the first phone i have had in a long time that does not melt in my pocket.

Very happy with my cosmic orange pro. I love the color, and the sienna tech woven case has become my daily case. Love how it feels.
The 17 pro replaces a 13 pro that I’d really enjoyed. But, it was time for a change. The cameras are a big upgrade. There are features like the Dynamic Island that have been out for a couple of years that I’m just now getting. I love that there’s plenty of ram for smooth function and future, as I’d like to keep this phone for a few years, as well.
Also, I know there have been a lot of people who don’t like the new design of the pro and pro max. But, I do like the bolder look of this new design.

Loving my tech woven case. I bought a silicon case and a tech woven. I’m using the sienna color on cosmic orange pro. I didn’t know how I’d feel about the tech woven, but it quickly became my favorite. It not only looks great, but I like the feel of the texture in my hand.
I love my space black air, I will probably keep this phone a long time. I really, really, love my jetech case too that was a recommendation of this forum. I never would have known about this brand case but it is really affordable and I think it is the best case you can get. It looks really great and fits perfect.
I have unopend orange 17 PM and using 16 PM now. What is the difference? I do not if I should open or sell it as I stikll think there is minor upgrade from my 16PM and a lot of people are like crazy - they offer me huge amount of money to buy it.
🙋♂️ love everything about my 17 Pro Max. Great upgrade from 15 Pro Max for me.
It never ceases to amaze me how much people let a phone design or feature affect their mental health so much. We have amazing computers in our pockets, that should make anyone happy.

Been lucky this cycle. 17 Pro (from 15 Pro)
Got the supposedly 'best screen'
I don't have any factory scuff or damage
My lenses are clear
I don't have any WiFi/BT issues
I was initially having issues with Carplay streaming but since downloading my playlists its been bullet proof
Recent trip to Portugal, and the camera/screen has been brilliant...even got others to consider upgrading
Something thats been going under the radar is how ridiculously fast the phone is, even with all the new animations. Its rapid.
Overall i'm quite chuffed.

Loving my air more the more I use it.
One thing I didn’t give much consideration to but is a noticeable bonus is the 12gb RAM. Apps/browser tabs reload a lot less as more is stored in memory. Is a small thing but very welcome!
Battery life has far surpassed my expectations and it’s not an issue like most seem to claim. Also my typing accuracy is much better than it was on my 15 pro due to the bigger keyboard.
Great phone, very happy!

I am very happy and pleased with my cosmic orange pro max. I love bright and stand up color. Thanks to Apple. I appreciate very much the product.
I upgraded from a 12, whose lightning port and main camera failed about three months ago. Its battery health was rated at 80%.
I got a base 17, in blue. So far the experience has been like pulling up in a 1970 Chevy Chevelle that had been used to transport wood chippings to the dump for 200,000 miles and driving away in a brand new BMW M4 Coupe.
So yeah, I’m happy with my new phone.

now with 26.01 it certainly seems the wifi drop is fixed, so I am even happier with my 17PM
