>has only 1 camera>3 hours less battery life than the base iPhone 17 and 10 hours less than the pro>costs 200 more than base iPhone 17 and is only 100 less than the iPhone 17 proWhat is even the point of this? Why would someone not just spend an extra 100 to get the pro or save 200 by buying the base and get 2 cameras and more battery?
>>106539864i think its a cool idea. its always nice to see companies try something new even if it may fail. andriod phone makers use to do things like this but now they're so boring nothing interesting anymore.
>>106539864>B-B-BUT NEW PRODUCT >I-ITS APPLE A I R>YOUR POOR
>>106539864I have never wanted more than one simple camera, I'm not some tech nigger YouTuber that needs to film his BLACKED porn in telephoto 8K RAW.Also Pro model doesn't come in a black color, Air model does.I like that we're back to trying to make phones smaller instead of bigger for once.
This new battery tech just makes me wish camera-less/ultra cheap camera phones existed, having such a slim design and adding the huge camera bump looks and feels hideous
>>106539936There's Unihertz, TCL 60 Nxtpaper Ultra and Ikko Mind One though they're just reduced to niche markets.I only care about jacks and card slots but Xperias and Xcover Pros have obscene import prices and zero local spare parts for me to bother with.
>>106539864They seriously fucked it up by making it so expensive. This should be like SE price, the fact it’s more expensive than the base iPhone 17 is fucking retarded. Imagine buying an objectively worse phone for more than the base just because it’s slightly thinner
>>106539864I just want another mini goddamnitEvery phone manufacturer decided that 6 inch screens are the norm and I hate it
>>106540025>Imagine buying an objectively worse phoneIt's not objectively worse, you're just a retarded jeet.It has the same higher quality materials and components used in the Pro models.
What is with the obsession of making phones thinner? Don't we remember how iPhones were bending in pockets? I'd rather have more damn battery life.
>>106540061yeah, shit sucksbut customers have largely forgotten that phones used to be one hand devices
Given the bumps to the base model this was the perfect year to go back to one iPhone. No idea what the fuck they were thinking here with the Air or the Pro. Even worse than Ive.
>>106539864Because it's thin, sleek, and sexy?I do wonder if we'll have another BendGate like with the iPhone 6 after some thot puts the air in the back pocket of her jeans stretched over her discount BBL.
>>106540061I'm so glad I bought a mini when they announced they will not be refreshing the line. I've actually gotten comments or people surprised at a phone that small. Fits great in my pocket and does everything I want it to do (which is the most basic stuff). Hope we get another mini or variant thereof with a small screen.
>>106539864Instead of muh slim meme with 0 actual benefit why don't they just make the phone actually smaller like SE/miniFucking dumb
>>106539864girls don't like how high res the new cameras are when doing mirror selfies it captures too much of their shit so they resort to old dogwater phones like the 6s. this is that replacement
>>106539984>smaller>is bigger than base>the thiness adds no valueRetard
>>106540434>the thiness adds no valueThinness is why the iPhone SE feels smaller/more comfortable in the hand than a 13 Mini despite being bigger.
>>106539864i was super hyped for air but the colour choices suck>>106540025basically this>>106540061ayyyyy mini bro, yeah somehow there is conception the mini failed as a product but every single person that bought one loves the fucking shit out of it and would like an refresh. It just resonates close to that magical eternal iphone 4s form factor that sat in my pocket for close to a decade and just werked. Will be keeping my mini on 17 for the forseeable future. Not doing this AI thing. Just not doing it.
>>106539864>What is even the point of this?its probably for the "european" market, probably the best way they can think of implementing a self destruct feature against "reuse"
>>106539864what's the point of making it so thin when you still have a thicker camera tumor?
>>106539864>we won't make small phones anymore because people don't want them!!!ok... who the fuck is asking for a more expensive, uncomfortably thin, shit battery life phone then?the phone market is so fucked beyond retardation it's not even funny, the market is literally asking for the exact opposite of what is being offered, a thicker 6000mAh iPhone would've sold like hotcakes with all the zoomzooms watching tiktok 14 hours a day
>>106539864> retard cares about his phone camera that produces fake pixels based on heavy computational photography and AI reconstructionjust get a real camera and a good lens, poorfag17 pro looks ugly as hell with the cutout in the back and has a cheap aluminium frame17 base only features 8gbshit lineup, but if I were to pick, I'd go with the air provided it has acceptable thermals and battery life
>>106539864I love it for the same reason I love the S25 Edge, seeing something that's different for once is welcome.
>>106539864Very thin, light, and no sharp edges or corners - it'll feel fantastic to hold. If you don't give a shit about specs like most iToddlers then this would be a good choice IMO, every interaction/pickup will be x% more enjoyable due to the hand feel. I love my Fold 7 but it's heavy and has sharp corners that are uncomfortable to hold, which I notice every single time I pick it up.
>>106539864I would buy it if it was no ugly bump for camera. Also I don't need camera in phone
