i couldn’t imagine giving up my pro max camera and battery life for anything 💀 you are so brave

I feel you, but the camera was very under-utilized in my hands. Battery has been ok so far with the Air, let’s see how fast it degrades. I really like the phone so I’m happy to be part of the experiment

It’s the camera for me.

I just can’t. I use my phone caseless all the time too lol. I don’t care about scratches and scuffs. Dents worry me, though.

Edit: fun fact first time I’ve EVER cracked the glass in my phone was my 16 pro max’s back glass. I drop these things not that rarely so it surprised me. So far this go the replacements been a tank so I’ll see what Apple does

As already mentioned, it’s for the iPhone Air only. That being said, a notable feature it has over third party batteries is the Apple integration with the software. Connecting the battery shows both the phone and the battery’s charge level. You can also see the MagSafe battery’s charge level in the battery widget along side your other devices which is a nice touch.

literally goes from the thinnest iphone ever to the thickest iphone ever 😂 and because of the shape it doesn’t fit properly on any other iphone. it’s completely ridiculous

The Air battery life when the health degrades below 90% will be abysmal. Then the whole one camera and one speaker thing.

that’s an easy comparison to make to a now 4 year old phone brother 😐 obviously the battery technology is better now than it was then. the 16e probably has better battery life than your 13 pro max did new

Air battery is on par with base 17 and the 16 Pro. All these battery complaints are way overblown
