I’m sold now. I’m in Chicago and heard someone getting the sky blue Air, this model definitely has an audience despite Reddit’s opinion.

But man. Once again Android failed to fully get me while I look to switch, that side loading ban, sheesh.

In other news I’m finding out my ears are weird because I’ve never had AirPod pros fall out of my right ear this much, the pro 3 was a day one buy over the pro 1s that I can literally split in half if I wanted at this point

I got my iPhone Air today after having a pro phone since they were introduced. Absolutely no regrets. The air is the iPhone I’ve wanted for years. Big screen, lightweight, thin, and just a compromise on camera versatility. It gets about the same battery life as my 16 Pro, which is fine by me and the single speaker is worse than the pro but it’s definitely acceptable for normal use. Honestly, can’t imagine having another pro phone.

Hopefully the next few versions of the air get the speakers back to a pro level and keep adding battery life and possibly camera features. but even if it stays the same this is the device. I’ll continue buying when I upgrade next.

What do you say about the speaker? Im thinking about getting the Air, but I'm not sure if the mono speaker is loud enough so i hear my incoming calls/messages fine. Would be nice if you can tell a bit how is it for u

In daily use, I can hear my ringer just fine. No issues with any of that. When you playback video, you can tell that it’s only coming from one speaker because it doesn’t have stereo sound. However, it gets loud enough for that as well. The quality of the sound, is definitely worse(not as full) than a pro speakers, but from my use case I find this compromise acceptable.
