Editor's SummaryThe iPhone Air is a device that can provide fresh emotions every day, but it requires compromise on certain aspects. It's perfect for aesthetes who value minimalism and know what a modern device should look like.

IntroductionToday, I'd like to share with you my experience using the most beautiful and long-awaited iPhone in Apple's history. Of course, tastes vary, and I might be exaggerating, but I'm confident that this device is the thinnest among all iPhone models. You've probably guessed it from the title, and I'll be discussing the iPhone Air.

BackgroundThe purchase wasn't impulsive. I prepared thoroughly for it. Honestly, I was torn between buying it and not, as I already had an iPhone 15 Pro Max, which was serving me well. I didn't feel the need for a new device, and the 15 Pro Max had been my go-to for three years, handling all tasks with ease. In some cases, it even outperformed the new iPhone Air. Moreover, the Air is likely a compromise device, and I'm convinced that it's not necessary for everyone. To support my claim, I can point out that there's an increasing number of used iPhone Air devices on the market, which is surprising given that the device was recently released. In my opinion, this iPhone is for everyone. Most people are swayed by the initial appeal and only later realize that technical specifications are more important than weight, thickness, and beauty – in other words, the exterior design.

Hands-on ExperienceMy advice to potential buyers is to hold the device in their hands, feel it in real life, and not just rely on reviews. The device might impress you visually, but you might not get the full user experience in a short time. You need to ask yourself what you expect from a device and whether you're willing to compromise on certain aspects for its visual and tactile appeal. If you're clear about your expectations, you won't be disappointed. Otherwise, you might end up selling the device on platforms like Avito or Kufer within a week or two.

DesignThe design is subjective, and it ultimately comes down to personal taste. I find the device very appealing, even after two weeks of use. The packaging has become even thinner. Inside the box, you'll find the iPhone, a cable, and minimal documentation. I'm concerned about what will happen in a few years, as there might be nothing left in the box except the device itself. The original accessories are nice, but I'm not sure how long they'll last.

Key FeaturesLet's move on to the main topic. I won't go into detail about the device's specifications, as they're readily available online. I'll just highlight a few key features.

DisplayThe Super Retina XDR display is excellent, and I'd say it's even better than before. The color accuracy, response time, and overall performance are top-notch. You can adjust the screen's brightness in the settings.

CameraThe camera is very good, and it's sufficient for my needs. The only time I felt it was lacking was when I needed a wider-angle lens (0.6x), but this was rare. In tight spaces, it wouldn't have worked. In other cases, the camera performed just as well as its siblings. With practice and a steady hand, you can take excellent photos even with a single camera.

Other FeaturesThe device has a single speaker, which is small but decent. It's not ideal for watching content in noisy environments, but it's sufficient for casual use. I didn't experience any distortion or hissing, even at maximum volume. I don't consider the lack of a second speaker a major issue. The battery life is decent, but it's a new device, so I'll reserve judgment for now. I've been using it for a few weeks, and it's been sufficient for my needs. I've been charging it to 80-90% and avoiding deep discharges. The device charges quickly, even with the original 20W MagSafe charger. It takes around 30 minutes to reach 80%.

ConclusionIn conclusion, this device can provide fresh emotions every day, which don't fade quickly like cheap perfume. However, there are a few 'buts.' You'll need to compromise on certain aspects, and using the device without a case or other protective accessories will enhance its appeal. If you're willing to do so, the iPhone Air will surely please you. To make a decision, I recommend holding the device in your hands and experiencing it for yourself. The device is perfect for aesthetes who value minimalism and know what a modern device should look like.
