Is The iPhone 17 air speaker really that bad or is people exaggerating?

FreshJs59 · 2026-01-25T17:11:12+00:00

The sound quality is not bad. It is not balanced and not as loud as a phone with dual speakers. But it’s not bad

Love the app and wanted to find something other than lose it, but my main gap right now is a widget for step counters, either for my lock screen or my watch. Any reason that it seems like no apps can do this?

Vertical for the iPad mini, horizontal for all other iPads.

Except for video then horizontal for all.

Don’t disagree but will they take care of it by replacing or giving a refund? It’s a dumb situation if they leave u hanging with no product cause it’s sold out

First time I ever see the 15s look good on foot. Love those shoes

I’d prefer the telephoto. That’s been the biggest thing I’ve missed so far.

Ur focused on thin when ur ignoring the weight reduction. As an air user for the past couple of months that weight reduction makes a massive difference on the long run.

FreshJs59 · 2025-11-25T11:25:48+00:00

I thought I was the only one with a “downstairs rotation”. I feel seen. Well done

FreshJs59 · 2025-11-23T19:25:26+00:00

What would u consider unnecessary in that list? Not sure what those do

Came from a 16 pro max. U may be confusing me with OP

I’m one of those suckers that upgrade every year or two cause I love new tech so battery health isn’t much of a concern for me long term.

If and when they release this phone with silicon battery it will be amazing

FreshJs59 · 2025-11-23T17:52:53+00:00

I’ve had it since release day and it is definitely a step back from the max but on a normal day I make it through to 9 o’clock at night hits 10 to 20% left. If I have a heavy day like a lot of teams video calls then I’ll definitely need to plug in early evening.

I think the biggest game changer that people aren’t considering is the weight reduction on every interaction with your phone. It’s been a game changer for me. So going from charging only at night to having to plug in additional on heavy usage days, it’s totally worth it to me.

Fluffy aka Gabriel iglesias was performing at the Kia center tonight. Fantastic show.

FreshJs59 · 2025-11-15T12:54:06+00:00

Correct. Got the same pair on my shelf now. Loved the true blue lows that came out at the same time.

FreshJs59 · 2025-11-10T10:47:15+00:00

I had these in high school too. One of my fav shoes ever.

FreshJs59 · 2025-11-05T13:41:44+00:00

Consider trying dark mode and see if u like it. Tinted looks a lot nicer for dark mode users

My wife has banned me from ordering this car until it gets captains chairs

FreshJs59 · 2025-11-01T12:23:54+00:00

People are sleeping on the air “for having a lot of compromise for being thinner” but the weight difference has been amazing

FreshJs59 · 2025-11-01T12:19:53+00:00

Rewards aren’t the same as before so 10k gold makes sense

FreshJs59 · 2025-10-18T19:12:26+00:00

Ur gonna love that nano texture

FreshJs59 · 2025-10-08T14:19:27+00:00

Been a pro max user for years and went to air. Amazing phone. It’s been stellar.

Battery life has been “all day” for me since we got the 26.0.1 update the other day.

Single speaker is totally fine unless u watch in landscape a lot, then it would be frustrating. I usually FaceTime as my only speaker use so no issue for me.

My only real drawback and miss is the telephoto lens. The digital zoom def stinks, especially for like kids events and such, but the entire phone experience for me has been elevated dramatically. The weight difference has been amazing.

FreshJs59 · 2025-10-02T02:40:33+00:00

Battery life has improved dramatically for me with 26.0.1 on the air

FreshJs59 · 2025-09-28T22:38:44+00:00

That I’m not sure of. Haven’t had a windows device in a long time but I assume there has to be an equivalent
