My iPhone Air Honeymoon Period Might Be Over Already

It’s getting harder to ignore some pretty glaring problems…

I’m taking longer to fully review certain products, and I’m rather enjoying the process.

Sure, I rushed to the gates with my first impressions YouTube videos for the iPhone 17 Pro Max and the iPhone Air, but that’s the nature of the beast; if you want to be successful on that platform, you have to show up early.

However, I know (because I’ve asked) that my audience prefers to hear slightly longer-term thoughts than “I’ve just unboxed this thing and this is what I think about it”. Which makes total sense. These are big, important purchases.

I’ve lived with the iPhone Air since I collected it from an Apple store on Friday, 19th September. I’ve switched to it from the iPhone 16e, and I intend to run it for the next 12 months.

I’m taking this seriously, folks.

Today, I’m going to reveal what the iPhone Air is like to live with and tackle the three biggest questions people have about Apple’s new squeeze: battery life, the camera system, and that single speaker.

But first…
