I guess Apple finally listened to all the people saying they want a smaller phone, and totally misunderstood what that meant
You wouldn't sell any smart watches if you could actually use the phone with your hand.

Re: iPhone Air
#103Incredible lift-to-weight ratio is going to contribute to epic hang times from this thing while the camera bump provides a center of gravity for it to rotate around for predictable flight paths.
Re: iPhone Air
#104The camera bump looks like it's twice the thickness of the entire phone.
It probably aligns very well with any sensible case.
for it to align with the case the case would need to be as thick as the camera bump thus negating the entire point of a thin phone while introducing all the problems of a thin phone.

#105I feel like this is more of a tech demo than a product. It is impressive engineering, for sure, but you can pay $100 more for the Pro and get significantly more features and battery life.

#106It's late but I spent way too long looking at the top image wondering what the weird phone angles were on the left and right until I realised it said AIR
Aaaaahh so that’s what it is!

Same....I was like does this phone have a stand in the back? Stared at that picture for like 1 minute and gave up. :D

It's a vocal minority on the internet which also owns a lots of other computing devices. I'm one.
IMHO most people in the real world increasingly use their smartphone as their primary computer and want a big screen.

#109Long time apple fanboy. I've watched most of these unveilings for the past 20 years. The new phones are impressive. But it was all speeds and feeds. The examples felt so wrong. The women dancing while on the phone. The guy running with while recording. The person needing translation to buy roses? None of those feel grounded in reality. It's like they are building tech for made up in corporate conference room use case…
> It's like they are building tech for made up in corporate conference room use cases.
Totally felt the same during the live-translation demo, when these two casual business folks were talking about "the client will love the new strategy". Dystopian corporate gibberish.
Re: iPhone Air
#110I just want to know how much it weighs.
Still looking for a phone as light as the Pixel 5 at 151 grams
