r/IphoneAir

I made the shift from the 16 pro to the AIR and glad I did.

Reading the reviews I was expecting a shallow mediocre speaker, and to my surprise, it’s not bad at all. Is there a difference with the pro? Most certainly. Is the difference night and day? No.

I was also expecting a bad camera, but it delivered nicely. Battery life is better than my iPhone 16 pro after the update, which is what a phone should last if you’re the average professional adult that have other things in his life other than being on his phone 24/7

iPhone AIR is the first Iphone that feels like a REAL complete phone in a long while, not just a crammed technological box that either have all the features or is missing some depending on how much you’re willing to pay.

My point is that we got spoiled by technology and got served more than we need.

For everyone hesitating, go ahead you won’t regret.

Guys I did it! I ordered a Air. It's replacing my XS which is actually still pretty nice IMHO. I was bored and wanted something new. The Air is just going to be my second device since my main device is a Fold 7 and Android is so much better. Please don't hate me for speaking my truth. It's like speaking two languages to me it's important to know both OS's. I use my iPhone for mails, banking, apple pay and some government apps because passwords and it being super useful and handy. I'm subscribed to AM and my XS didn't get iOS 26 and obviously 27. I want to experience AM's "new" interface, things like karaoke and the haptic feedback thingy. I want to see how iOS handles AOD although I know it's not bright as on Samsung devices. I ordered the black one and I think it's super pretty. I don't care about the camera or battery but I'm sad about the one speaker because the speakers on iPhones Pro's are really good. I'm not going to use a case since I never do and even after two years my devices look like new. A19 Pro with 12GB RAM seems to be pretty good although I noticed on the demo device it getting super hot while doing basic stuff. But I don't care. Like I mentioned I'm super impressed with the XS, for being a old device it's still pretty good and usable. I expect the AIR to age the same.

Anyway, I hate online shopping, if I'm lucky I will receive it Saturday but if not on Monday. That's why I'm dying.

So I’ve had the iPhone Air for a while but I was always hesitant about whether I should go caseless or not if it’s worth the risk I’ve been using the pitaka cases for a while and they are pretty good but nothing beats that feeling of a caseless iPhone Air

I have a base model iPhone 13 that I’m pretty much done paying off wondering if I should get the air or a upgraded 17 instead of the base model or I seen that the iPhone 18 is about to drop should I just wait for that to see if the phones go down in price thanks in advance mainly play games and take phone calls on my phone

Let me explain the use case .. I am using 13 mini and I want to get the Air .. money is not the issue.
I really want to know how does it feel to use on 5G or LTE may be 1-2 hours I need to be on Data and remaining on Wifj if that matters ! Does it get warm or hot easily ?
Is the mono speaker is bad to take calls on ?
Battery life not much of an issue as I have chargers every where .. I live in Middle East so temperature wil be hot during summers
Need some opinions .. not a heavy user .. just browse .. some Reddit .. little YouTube.. emails .. what’s app and instagram and some calls

Hi all

Yesterday I received my new iPhone Air, coming from an iPhone 16. I have to say this form factor feels special, it finally feels like a piece of glass in my hand. The 16 now feels bulky and meh.

I think I will miss the ultra-wide lense and am considering a case which you can attach lenses to when travelling, I have a cheap clip on “ultra-wide” lense but it doesn’t come close to the 16 and adds curvature to the photo. Does anyone have any recommendations please, and some example photos?

I’ve read about the front camera trick so will give that a go at some point.

Thank you.

So I just bought the Iphone Air a bit over 2 weeks ago. I love the phone, it’s beautiful and a real upgrade from my 15 pro max.
The only thing that bothers me is that it gets warm with literally everything I do on it. Whenever i’m listening to music, looking things up on the internet, or scrolling on social media the phone gets warmer. Not drastically but just so I can feel a temperature difference at the top of the phone. Yesterday when I was on FaceTime it got really hot and I had to stop the call before it got overheated.
I called Apple Support today and they said I had to wait it out for 2 more weeks but I’m honestly getting kind of annoyed by the constantly warm phone in my hands and pocket.
Is this a normal thing with the IPhone Air? What can I do to help this?

Been a day one user came from iPhone 15 pro max and I feel this is the best iPhone I’ve used. Two things I would definitely love to see added is a secondary ultra wide lens and a stereo speaker setup. While carbon battery would be nice I don’t feel it’s needed in the current state

I strongly believe a phone case is like training wheels when learning how to ride a bike.

Let me explain.

90% + of the time when you drop your phone and it gets damaged, it follows the same avoidable pattern.

When you get out of the car, and your phone slips out your pocket.

When you take it out of your pocket and your hand slips.

When you’re fidgeting with your phone.

List goes on.

Learn how to avoid it, and you will never drop your phone again.

Grab your pocket when you get out of the car.

Grip your phone harder and with intent.

Stop fidgeting.

Just hold the damn thing and learn from your mistakes. We are almost on iteration 20 of these artworks in our pocket. You should know how to not drop them by now.

Life is short. Drop the case. Drop the screen protector.
Enjoy the design.

After all, it’s just a phone.
