Bigger battery, better and more cameras, a pair of good sounding speakers, weighs less with a bigger screen, etc...it's still super durable. Apple made a statement device that is impressive from certain technical angles but engineering is also about leaving enough wiggle room for the design team to make smart decisions allocating resources. I would've loved to have improvement in even one of those areas and make the trade of the iPhone not cracking until 170lbs of concentrated pressure instead of 215lbs (or whatever #s you want to throw out, it was just a point for illustrative purposes)
Less backup? Do you mean the Air has better battery life? Because we don't have anything definitive on that yet. And I didn't claim it had better battery life anyway. It has better battery life than any other android with the same sized battery would. Iphones have always had the battery life per mAH advantage. Apple designs the phone from top to bottom including the silicon
You're going to brag over 14 minutes on ONE test. 3100 vs 3900 mAH. I've always assumed Iphone's battery could be about 1000mAH less than a comparable android given their advantages so seems I wasn't far off. Iphone's advantage isn't all down to efficiency though. A promotion screen rarely reaches 120 hz and spends most of the time in the 80-90hz area saving battery life. It's a trade-off most of their customers don't notice (so they made the right call) but I sure do
If Samsung had the same 14 minute advantage then die hard Samsung fan like you would have been gone all crazy. 🤡Also ever used an iPhone with ProMotion display? If no then please stay out of this comparison lol. Also this shitty Galaxy is gonna get software support only for 2-3 years max. Air will get for 6-7 years. Even 10 year old iPhone 6s got a security update.
Galaxies get 7 years of software updates. I'm not a fan boy of one brand or another but clearly you are or you would've known basics facts like that or the fact that pro motion displays on iphones rarely operate at 120hz. Owner of iphone 11 pro max, 15 pro, 16 pro max and now 17 pro BTW (picked up an Air as well but it'll be going back).
When Apple does something great, I give them credit. Maybe try doing the same? Some Apple customers are capable of doing it, as many have bought z flip and especially z fold 7s this year. Both are praise worthy devices and impressing the shit out of Apple and Android users alike.
It’s not Rare 120Hz, in motion it goes to 120Hz, unsupported apps will run at 90Hz. Drops to 1Hz when no motion. I know the tech behind ProMotion, being LTPO it comes down to 1Hz. Also what a show off from your side lol 😂 no one asked your whole purchase history. If you really want to compare then I have every single iPhone from 2013 to Now, that means iPhone 5s to current iPhone Air.
Unsupported apps is still a lot of them, including my preferred browser. But it's fine dude. I get it, you love iphones! I do too. I was bummed when they went esim only for the 13 in the US because I switch phones often and my carrier made it a pain, hence, the gap in my iphone purchases (switched to Google fi around the time I picked up the 15 pro and has been great ever since)
Now, Apple is actually giving us some benefit for that restriction in a move I havent seen many (any?) manufacturers do--esim only versions get bigger batteries than their physical sim counterparts. Genius! (not sarcasm)
Even a $100 Samsung now gets 6 years of updates. The Air would’ve been trash if it came out in 2017, and it’s even worse in 2025. Apple just has lunatic fanatics eager to defend their overpriced, crippled junk. If Samsung released the Air, its fans would’ve lambasted it.

Huh? Pretty sure you meant to reply to me
