I have thoughts on the iPhone Air
christianselig.com
Hard to believe, but it’s been over 9 months since the current crop of iPhones came out, and I elected to grab the (apparently not super popular) iPhone Air, a new model of iPhone introduced for the first time. Rumor season for the new iPhones is in full swing, so it seemed like a good time to jot down my thoughts on the current model.

    I’ve had mine nearly as long.

    As a photographer the camera doesn’t bother me. I tend to use my cameras if I want to take “real” photos. The camera is better than my 13 Mini was.

    Speaker doesn’t bother me. I use my AirPods or use AirPlay at home.

    Screen size is a mixed blessing. I miss the form factor or my 13 Mini but the screen is helpful for my aging eyes and it’s not huge.

    Battery is still great and judging by the iPadOS 27 beta on my iPad mini, in a couple months it’s about to get better.

    Putting a Pitaka case on it keeps it slim, adds a grippier surface and makes the plateau flat so it doesn’t rock.

    In the end, I have no regrets. It’s been a great phone for me. It still feels great in hand. Not quite as magical as when I first picked one up, but I still notice and enjoy it. Especially when I pick up my partner’s 15 Pro, that’s jarring.
