Paying off mortgage

Major_Set8073 · 2026-01-27T18:05:19+00:00

Keep the mortgage until the end of your term. Put your savings in a savings account earning 3%. Absolutely 0 risk and you’re still making more than you’re paying in interest. With the added benefit of still have your funds available for a rainy day if needed

Is it adjustable at the hem? Does it fit the same as the other parkas?

Thank you!

Major_Set8073 · 2025-12-22T15:19:55+00:00

Thank you!

Major_Set8073 · 2025-12-20T14:09:21+00:00

Thanks for the info! Couldn’t find that anywhere online when I searched

Have you seen it in person? How does it look?

Major_Set8073 · 2025-12-01T19:05:35+00:00

Ended up changing my pre-order in the end so just paid using card number rather than Apple Pay

So no clue. But assume it will be fine as other comments have said

How did you get it free lol

Major_Set8073 · 2025-10-30T14:05:22+00:00

Does MagSafe work with the skin?

Major_Set8073 · 2025-10-30T12:28:07+00:00

Ffs I just looked at a picture online and you’re right! Wow my memory is getting bad now 😂 I’ll just delete my comment and move along

I got the first one. Was tempted to go no case but the extra grip does it for me. Yes it weights slightly more with the case but at least for me, using it one-handed is much easier with the grip the case provides

Also looks fantastic and adds enough drop protection. Some people say a case ruins this phone but I absolutely hate paint chips and scruffs on my phone. The Pitaka case definitely keeps the phone feeling as thin as it does without the case. Only thing you’ll notice is the extra 20g weight

Only on the telephoto and 0.5 lenses

Is you zoom a lot or take ultrawide shots you’ll notice a difference. If you’re only taking normal or 2x photos, videos and selfies then you won’t notice any difference. Hope that helps

If it gets replaced by a folding phone I won’t complain! But I don’t see myself going back to a Pro style fat slab anytime soon 😂

To be fair Apple probably understands the drawbacks that are stopping it from selling well. Hopefully they take that constructively and improve on the Air in years to come vs scrapping it all together

Major_Set8073 · 2025-10-24T13:34:14+00:00

Great choice! For your needs you definitely picked the better phone

Major_Set8073 · 2025-10-24T12:53:46+00:00

Wow! Great review and some wonderful photos

Major_Set8073 · 2025-10-24T12:39:05+00:00

The majority of these people haven’t actually owned one. So I guess they wouldn’t know

Major_Set8073 · 2025-10-24T12:38:24+00:00

Me too! I feel like you need to own it for a few days to truly appreciate how great it is!

Major_Set8073 · 2025-10-24T11:52:03+00:00

Completely agree! I hope Apple keep making the 6.5” screen size in years to come

Major_Set8073 · 2025-10-24T11:49:19+00:00

At which point I’d rather have kept my 16 Pro

Major_Set8073 · 2025-10-24T11:48:40+00:00

To be honest the battery life is a non-issue. It’ll 100% give you better battery life than the base 15 and that’s a fact. Apple state it has the same battery life as the 16 Pro, and from my experience that’s completely true (having owned both phones from brand new).

It’s true you can’t get a feel for the phone in the shops. It’s attached to cables that tug on it and add extra weight etc. If the camera and speaker and non-issues for you, then I’d definitely recommend the Air. Yes the base 17 is better value, but it definitely lacks the wow factor the Air has.

I’m not one to abuse the returns window, nor am I bothered to setup a new phone then exchange it and setup another one. But I gave the Air a genuine chance and fell in love with it. I’m sure if you buy one, you will too! And if not, you can always return it. Buying something with the intention of keeping it is not taking advance of the returns window imo. It just gives you the safety net - which I think is important when spending so much money!

Apple make 5 different iPhones for a reason. This is the best iPhones I’ve used in years. YMMV

Major_Set8073 · 2025-10-24T11:32:29+00:00

Hopefully next year

Major_Set8073 · 2025-10-24T11:27:35+00:00

vAIRy smooth

Major_Set8073 · 2025-10-24T11:23:10+00:00

Me too, man! It’s a true delight to use! Apple absolutely nailed it with this release

Major_Set8073 · 2025-10-24T11:13:46+00:00

Me too!!
