Hello everyone,
I hope you’re doing great.
I news here because my friend just give me his old iPhone 13 Pro Max 128gb.
I mean it’s a good deal for free I have to change the battery to the Apple Store for 99$99, as you can see but the phone already feels great.
Just a question. Apple does make a battery remplacement with a broken back glass ?
Thanks for your answer and for reading me.
Take care
Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well.
I'm making this post to explain why I switched from the iPhone 17 Pro Max to the iPhone Air.
To start, as soon as the iPhone 17 lineup was announced, I was captivated by the iPhone Air, but its trade-offs pushed me toward the iPhone 17 Pro Max (I had the iPhone 15 Pro Max), and I didn't like it all that much. I got it in blue out of resignation, since no other color appealed to me. I never found it good-looking.
But its camera capabilities won me over, especially during my trip to NYC. Still, after thinking it over, and after almost a year with it, I switched: I got the iPhone Air for €959 with a trade-in of my 17 Pro Max, so it ended up costing me about a hundred euros. I think that's not such a bad deal.
And wow, from the moment I opened the box I was surprised. I'd already handled it in store before, but finally owning it was just really satisfying. I got it today, so battery-wise I can't really be objective yet (with the data transfer from the 17 Pro Max and indexing going on) — I'll give you an update later this week after it settles in, if you'd like.
The downside, I'd say, is the sound. Yes, I knew what to expect, but after a year with the 17 Pro Max it makes sense. I think after a week I'll get used to it and it'll feel normal. I didn't want to potentially wait for the iPhone Air 2 — sure, a better camera would have been great, but for what I use it for, it gets the job done. To me, this iPhone is more of a "fun" phone, 100%, while waiting for the iPhone "20" — that's why I got it. I think in the long run I would never have made this choice otherwise.
But for me, these small trade-offs are worth it given how gorgeous the design is and the genuine wow factor this phone has. As for the sound, aside from TikTok, I watch everything else on my Mac or iPad, so the mono speaker is a problem without really being one.
An iPhone Air at a reasonable price could really be a great phone, but it's clearly not the best value for money.
If you don't get that "love at first sight" feeling the first time you hold it, then this iPhone isn't for you.
If your iPhone is your only device for creating and watching content, don't get it.
I hope this wasn't too long and was thorough enough — let me know if you'd like me to cover any other points, I'd be happy to.
Wishing you all a great day / evening, and thanks for reading 🫶🏼
After almost a year of using this TechWoven Case, I reached out to Apple Support, and they kindly sent me a replacement case for free. Thanks to Apple’s prompt and helpful assistance, I can continue using my 17 Pro Max for another year with a brand new case.
