Living with the iPhone Air! [FULL REVIEW]
Video Overview & Insights
iPhone Air Review - is this thinner iPhone worth the hype? I test the design, camera, battery and performance across the full iPhone 17 lineup to find out!
Hey Chaps! Have you pre-ordered a new iPhone??
-- CORRECTION: base iPhone 17 has 8GB RAM, all other iPhones has 12GB
-- ALSO: iPhone Air does not support Cinematic video, oddly.

Who the f cares about the bend test... Nobody is ever trying to bend their phone.. it's what happens when you drop the fucking thing and thurns into a thousand glass pieces lol.

I wished they would have given us the physical SIM card option to buy, so we can use when traveling to a country that doesn’t use eSIM
00:00 bend it like Tom
00:10 it's thinner, who cares?
was pretty good review until you keep jerk the phones around for image stabilization feature
01:15 not what I expected...
02:16 goldilocks screen
I bought it Sunday. It’s Tuesday and I think it’s wonderful. BTW. What game are you playing.???
04:00 futuristic design
05:01 bendgate 2.0?
The speakers are worse, the cameras are worse, the battery life is worse, and for a $100 more you can have all of that
06:21 case or no case?
08:21 compromises.
I've been getting really sick of Google's behaviour lately and so for the first time since 2013 I made the decision to buy an iphone. I have opted for the air and am looking forward to delivery this week.
09:41 A19 Pro*
12:20 does the battery suck?
Love the Air, battery is fine. Also, I can charge at home, in the car and in the office. So who gives.... ? :)

21:23 same as always
21:44 wrap up
Great review, thank you, really makes you think, I want one, should I wait for the Air2 I can't make my mind up. P.S. I don't want a plastic screen foldable anything.

just got mine and I love it
More User Perspectives
I switched from a 14 pro max to a 17 air. The best phone decision I’ve ever made. Love it.
@frankk.7761Not a big apple fan but have to upgrade since my Iphone 13s is blowing up haha, Thank you for giving a pretty honest review and exactly what I needed to make a decision. Thanks!
@theriptide3today, the 17 is more expensive compared to air, why? lack of buyers?
@abreezyyt1705I regret buying this phone. No mmWave radio. The refresh this fall is not getting an updated radio either. Sucks. It looks pretty, but it sucks.
@piñonfijojerryI’m all for a smaller phone… i just upgraded from the 13 mini to the regular 17… i would have gotten a 17 mini… but they trashed that… i also feel like the air was down my alley, but, i dont want to pay more for less… the single speaker was the icing on the cake to me… i watch alot of videos…
@Synic08Hello Tom! Thank you so much for the great interview! Replacing my old iPhone 11 Pro Max with a sky blue iPhone Air! Very excited! I have wonderful memories around the iPhone 4 when we visited San Francisco and I bought it at the Apple Store downtown! Really LOVED the first retina screen. Just fell in love with the milky smoothness of it right away! Cheers!
@1BSDjunkieI have the 17 pro need to sell it using my air as my main phone love it
@BirdonefulI feel like the reason why most wireless charging is magnetic is due to the electromagnetism being applied to charge such things for example the airpods that are highly magnetic its not so you wont lose them or so they can stay on the case its simply because thats how it quick charges..
@Meninism4evrHonestly I’m not watching videos for 17 hours straight I don’t see the problem 😂
@joegrizzly999Definitely subbed, in depth reviews and I can finally zoom in the vid and have the perfect ratio, lovely!
@ventryculIssues with this phone
Heating
Battery
Camera
Big notch
Some other guys tested the flex test and it broke just the screen cracked at 207 lbs of force and it was still usable after the test
@Lancer-615Love your review
Love the Air hopefully there’ll be an Air 2 anyway good job !
I am moving back to iPhone after 15 years. Last iPhone I used was iPhone 6. From Samsung S25 to iPhone Air direct. I am not a heavy user of camera or game. Mostly it is for accesing various business app to conduct by business and watch youtube, other social media. So I am not too concern about the cameria. Charge I always charge my phone at night so as long as it is running I am good. Lets see how the experience is.
@VoiceBootcampIncIphone air…very handsome
@nathanph212The 1x on the air looks more natural, while the pro has slight fish bowl effect. Pro photos looked too a little too wide and had a cooler tone, while the air photos always looked perfectly cropped and leaned towards the warmer skin tones. 😮
@germy_the_wormyI just got this phone today and I really like it. Let’s be honest most people don’t care about the camera not everybody needs a high-end camera. I’m quite satisfied with the faster download speeds. I have 2000 e-books and audiobooks with Kindle and it downloaded fast 10 times faster than my previous phone.
@heidis2330Only iphone equal for every country
@krishnamoorthy_gbI still have my 13 mini - sigh, I want to upgrade but want a small iPhone with top grade camera thats fits in my jeans pocket. Definitely not interested in a folding phone, thinner phone etc…
@zoww13I’m here for the selfie hair test 🤣
@DAZ-SCOTSThis iphone air is totally for me i dont give a fk about features its an amazing phone for super thin enough versitility
@CryptoskeeI regret putting a case on my air but I’m clumsy with phones so I don’t wanna take it off, and it’s easily the most expensive phone I’ve ever owned.
@Saltlord4092Best iPhone ever
@awaiizY8:33 hear me out. When I lounge and scroll my hand dips and my belly ends up suppressing the bottom speaker. I never notice until I raise the phone that I was missing half the audio. With this phone the sound remains consistent at least. I truly never thought I’d find a use case where one speaker is better lol
@PandaPowerPeace3:26 years but you have to get the ULTRA which is starting price higher than the air. Also the anti reflective screen comes on all flavors this year where Samsung gate keeps it to their most elite phone only.
It’s weird era where apple sometimes is more user friendly than Samsung.
I love my iPhone Air. The pics are fine with me. I notice when I’m showing them to someone or looking at them myself we’re talking seconds. Buy a real camera if you are into photography.
@jimk1225The phone is really pretty, but the battery life really sucks
@aaronzimmer9825iPhone air 2 comes with 2 cameras and stereo speakers?
@KishorBalachandranpretty sure the iphone 17 has only 8gb of ram
@lejohnbramesConsidering switching from android to the air if they get rid of sideloading. The phone is literally all the phone I need
@Spyro420blazeitDude and you flipping a middle finger in the thumbnail? 😂
@KrowndPFunny I have received new 17pro max cosmic orange last night...haven't opened the box yet....now I am returning it to get the Air I suppose....I like it....lighter smaller cheaper
@Stefano-x4iI bought the Air and love it. Everyone that sees it freaks out. No case = NO drop. Once your use to no case and holding it your good to do.
@dmarston1234This was such an incredible review i was hooked, on my android😅
@beatthefluЯ всю жизнь пользовался именно смартфонами с андроид и даже не думал о iPhone...., но когда увидел AiR, то просто влюбился в него и теперь серьёзно думаю купить себе iPhone AiR и продать свой Pixel 9
@Zloy-76i bought my air on sale in aus for the same price as 17, came from 13 mini and have no regret, the single speaker sounds fine and camera is great, using it feels super premium
@bumgoophope they make "air e" slim n small
@JDAD08This was excellent, and I am very rarely impressed!
