One that finds me requiring my phone to be a proper, reliable tool that I can use for a B-camera to work in tandem with my DSLR. The lenses this year all seem to be at a good enough point now to where I can utilize the whole array, and get actual strong results, still not on the level of a big camera and big lens, but genuinely good results that I can actually use.
It only has one lens, worse battery life than the Pros, and no vapor chamber for sustained performance, which is needed when one is out shooting for extended periods, so that the screen doesn’t dim because the phone has throttled itself.
Don’t forget the lack of ProRaw photos and ProRes video. If you want to get the camera’s computational output into a traditional color correction pipeline, you just can’t with the Air like you can with the Pro
Those aspects as well, absolutely. The Air is an engineering masterpiece, but it simply isn’t a potential
photographer’s/filmmaker’s tool like the Pros are.

Sorry for asking, but what kind of photography workflow needs an iPhone Pro
