I Have Thoughts on the iPhone Air
3 hours ago
- The iPhone Air's extremely thin design impresses initially but becomes normal over time, raising questions about the value of compromises for thinness.
- The screen size sits between the Pro and Pro Max, offering a perfect balance for users who find large phones unwieldy.
- Camera quality is good but lacks a telephoto lens and macro mode, and the single sensor leads to annoyances like poor minimum focus distance.
- The single speaker (top) results in lower volume and imbalanced audio, which is noticeable in noisy environments.
- Battery life was initially surprising but degraded over time, possibly due to seasonal usage or iOS updates.
- Overall, the phone is loved for its bold design but not recommended for most due to significant compromises, similar to the original MacBook Air.
