Verge staffers react to the iPhone Air: what we love and don’t love

I am determined to give us something new to talk about, Apple introduced a very high air. It is only 5.6 mm thick with a 6.5 -inch promotional width, a 48 -megapixel camera, a personal camera that supports the lead center, and an additional Magsafe battery. Among other things.

We asked my employees freedom For their first impressions in the air iPhone. We will do a full review of the phone, of course, but here are some feelings about the phone from our employees.

It starts in advance for the iPhone Air on Friday, September 12, and is ravaged on September 19.

Do you want a very iPhone?

IPhone 17 is thin and beautiful. The iPhone 15 Pro was not completely thin, but it is also a titanium – only I will never know it because it is always inside a thick plastic protective. Unless the air will live dangerously without a situation, it is likely to be better with iPhone 17 or 17 Pro. Otherwise, you will have a problem remembering the reason for choosing the worst air battery when you end up doubling its thickness with the $ 99 Magsafe battery, as the Apple announced today. – Thomas Recker, Deputy Editor

And weighs only 5.8 ounces …

My personal phone is still a pixel 6 (yes, and I know, I tend to postpone these promotions), which weighs about 7.3 ounces on its own and about 9 ounces with the rugged state I have (not only the procrastination, but I am tense from breaking them). Which means that every time I drop it in my pocket, it pulls my pants a little bottom. Having this weighing phone will be light – although it will not be completely light by adding the additional battery (see Thomas Comment above). – Barbara Krasnov, review editor

We have passed through this routine before, Apple.

I just don’t understand why Apple returns to worship on the slice of thinness. Between Aphone Air and Galaxy S25 Edge from Samsung, I don’t like this potential trend of phones. It is really illogical for me when most people want phones that last long -term batteries. It is more than that when you think about it, not long ago, Apple has severely settled MacBooks devices in the pursuit of thinness that failed the fragrant keyboards. (Remember a collective lawsuit that cost Apple $ 50 million?) Apple has turned things by making MacBooks more thicker and announced, and now every MacBook device in the collection has a good keyboard and battery that easily ease a full day or more. Why do we do this song and dance again? – Antonio G. Di Benedetto, References

I love iPhone Thicc because it gives me a long battery life. For this reason I have been buying iPhone Pro Max for the past … well, since its launch. Apple says that Aphone Air will provide “battery life throughout the day”, but my current iPhone 16 Pro Max no longer gets a full day anymore. Not only this. Maybe you will not get me for lunch. But I know what will happen. I will see one. Then I will want that. Then I will buy a battery pack. I will not care about the battery life anymore. probably. –Todd Himilton, Deputy Editor, Reviews and Trade

Apple claims 40 hours of video playing – with Battery package.

I would say that the video playing time is a ridiculous scale for the life of the phone battery, and this is not the main thing that people do with their phones. But maybe he is now! The old man screams in the cloud: it should not be. But moreover, it is funny to make a skinny phone, make a $ 99 battery package that is only compatible with this phone, then build the battery life as long as it takes with the attached battery. This is like breakfast pills that put a column “with a cup of 2 % milk” in the feeding label. –Nathan Edwards, upper review editor

Can Apple users get used to a pixel -style camera?pub? (Not to mention the additional battery.)

It has a 6.5 -inch screen.

I prefer that a thousand delicious ghoul hands around large phones, so I felt very annoyed to hear that Apple rid the Plus version of its iPhone 17. I am sure that the slim and lightweight air model will affect the people who are tired of bad bricks around it. – E Jess Wes, the news writer

Camera blossom like pixels

As a person who has not been promoted to a completely new phone for several years, I am not sure whether I can get used to the outstanding look of the phone in the form of a phone-or I feel it. Unlike the camel’s bump on Google Pixel 10, Apple puts one “Dual Fusion” camera in the tape, leaving one black lens that stands out against the rest of the phone. It is difficult for me to see it without thinking about the Cyclops eyebrow. Emma Roth, News author

This blue sky is the sky is excellent.

I loved the blue sky on the Apple M4 MacBook Airs, and I think it looks like truly Good on the iPhone. Is the color enough for me to choose the air in another style? I have more positives than I am looking for in terms of features, but after seeing the blue sky for myself, we will see if I have been inclined. Jay Peters, a great reporter

The future phone?

Apple called it a piece of the future …. is it?

Eating Galaxy-Brained around air is that it already contains many secrets for the Apple future. Execs spent a long time talking about the physical design, the work required to make the phone solid and durable, whatever it is “Ceramic Shield 2”, and much more. This is a little about the iPhone air. It’s too everyone The things you need to do in order to make phones fluctuating, folding or doing any other creative things that other companies are already doing with phones. His heritage may end like the original MacBook Pro, which was a defective computer but collected first generation versions of many important technology.

I don’t think “iPhone is slightly thinner with one camera and a large camera engraving” is the future. But some things inside the air? maybe. – David Peres, editor in general

The foldable Apple future may be proven in the plateau

Apple showed an X -ray image of the new “Plateau” for the iPhone Air, which looks just a stumbling block in the camera but more than that. Apple pressed its camera, amplifier, as well as silicone – effectively all the courage in the iPhone air, and save its battery. I think it’s easy to refer to his finger and say, “Hey, I can see how this innovation will be within his reach.”

There is a lot of technology that was pressed in the iPhone.

If rumors start from Apple’s iPhone from Apple, the ability to divide the ingredients, emphasizing a thin design while leaving more battery space as possible, looks incredibly vital to its success. I agree with David – I know that we are supposed to talk about iPhone air here, but it is difficult not to think about the future of iPhone when I look at it. Cameron Volkner, Trade Editor
