I switched to an iPhone Air from having only pro models since the 11. The only things I am losing are battery life and an ultrawide camera. You can use the selfie camera as an ultrawide if you absolutely must. I am always near a charger, so battery life isnt that important to me. The one speaker is a non-issue, it sounds great and I mainly use AirPods anyway. I was nervous to switch to an Air at first, but I’m so glad I did. I still get ProMotion, the best main camera, and all the pro features without the bulk and weight. It’s beautiful.

The Good: • Insanely Thin: At just 5.6mm, it feels like you're holding a piece of glass from the future. It’s easily the most comfortable iPhone I’ve ever owned for one-handed use. • The Titanium Finish: I got the Sky Blue, and the polished titanium look is stunning. It’s surprisingly durable too; I’ve already accidentally bumped it against my keys, and the Ceramic Shield 2 didn't catch a single scratch. • Performance: Even though it’s the "Air," it still has the A19 Pro chip. Everything from multitasking to Apple Intelligence features is buttery smooth. The Trade-offs: • Single Camera: You only get the one 48MP Fusion lens. While the photos are crisp and the 2x crop is great, I do miss having an ultrawide lens for group shots. • Battery Life: Because it’s so thin, the battery is smaller than the Pro Max. It definitely gets me through a full work day, but if you’re a heavy gamer, keep a charger handy. Bottom Line: If you want the most "Pro" specs, get the 17 Pro. But if you want a phone that feels like a piece of jewelry and disappears in your pocket, the iPhone Air is a masterpiece. It’s the first time in years an iPhone has felt truly new.

Love this phone super light and plenty powerful for day to day use. Battery life hasn’t really affected me. Highly recommend for normal users who aren’t needing the most out of a device

Great phone. Love how thin it is. Battery life is not as great as the pro.

Very lightweight and works great! Love the color (I got Purple).
