Do you think using hyperboles makes your argument stronger or something?
This is probably why some of you are shocked when the Air proves far less popular than expected. It's the failure to recognize what most real world consumers prefer and want.

I’ve noticed one iPhone 17 model in the wild and it was an Air 🤷🏼♀️ toted by my Doordash driver. Though I guess I could have seen base 17’s and not have noticedOP is trying excessively hard to justify the purchase of the air it seems. Which hey, if you love your phone that is awesome! But don't get too cocky over the rest of our 'brick' phones cause out of all the 17s, it seems only one is getting discontinued
Most people probably don’t realize the Air exists yet. That will take some time, and for a while people might still just get what they’re used to. They break the screen on their Pro, they get a new Pro without thinking about it
I’m a pretty heavy user, and I’m doing fine with my Air. Been averaging 7 hours of screen on time per day and using <75 percent charge. If some people want to carry around a phone with two days of battery life, that’s fine. Can’t we just have both and c☮️exist?

I keep hearing this idea that most people don’t know the Air exists and when they do it will be a massive hit. We need to be realistic, we are living in a 2025 not 95. Things become massive hits without one once of promoting but simply being seen on social media where I have seen plenty of Air videos. Let’s give people a little more credit and just call a spade a spade, this phone might just not be right for most people . I remember seeing a lady maybe in her late 60s early 70s getting a new phone the day after launch. If you love your phone great, just be happy with that.
Agreed. What exactly is the logic there? Most of Earth's population is living in a cave and waiting for word of mouth to learn about the new iPhones?
Buyers who are in the market for a new phone will visit www.apple.com or their carrier's website.
Looks like an Android phone of years gone by. Those dreadful curved edges are nice looking but a horrible experience when using the phone.
