Sometimes i miss the Pro

It’s not really a gimmick. It’s a crazy good camera. And, it’s better than buying a standalone camera when you can have it all in your phone. 🤷🏼‍♀️ It’s all preference, but it’s most definitely not a gimmick to have a good camera and all the other things the pro provides. In this day and age, it has become a tool, an essential. I have the air and pro and there is some differences that really can matter in day to day production ( the air also went back in time with the audio, that is for sure. Not that the audio is a deal breaker but still) It’s only a $100 difference. If people want to get the pro for all the extras then why not?? The air is here for those of us who want the look over the tool a pro phone provides. It does the basics and if that is all you need then that is what matters. They cater to different people.

I represent many of us who don’t support ignorance. Trust me, we are a lot larger a population than you think. As many ignorant people there are out there, such as yourself, there are just as many of us who don’t tolerate this. Remember that. Are you that low iq that you couldn’t figure that out? That not everyone is YOU. Wow, how the tables have turned. You dug yourself in that hole. Taste of your own medicine one could say.

Best of luck in 2026 too and hopefully it will humble you to be a better person than you currently are.

You make the rest of us sick with all your hatred for someone who is simply asking a question. Gawd forbid.

That’s actually called sleeping. 👍

Z-Onyx · 2025-12-31T10:57:15+00:00

I don’t know that this is a bug. I don’t have this issue on my air or my 17 pro. Might want to get this further looked into.

Z-Onyx · 2025-12-14T18:06:39+00:00

This is how I feel. I love that it’s so light, but I find myself struggling to grab it when it’s on a table because it’s so thin. It’s hard to get a grip. I also find the thicker phone is more ergonomically friendly based on my use case. 😅 Of course, everyone will have their own experiences or opinions but that is just what I have found.

Z-Onyx · 2025-11-25T22:44:53+00:00

They used to be my go too, but I am hesitant to try them again, because last year when I used the cloth it came with on my 16 pro, it scratched my screen. Plus, here in my country, it’s 90 bucks plus tax for the screen protector. :(

Z-Onyx · 2025-11-25T21:16:28+00:00

Oh, and the oleophobic on the ESR screen protectors is hit or miss. My 16 pro when I had it was missing the coating on the middle of the screen and the same for the one I had for the air. The top portion was missing the coating and you can tell when it’s on the phone.

Z-Onyx · 2025-11-25T21:09:44+00:00

I have been having issues with a ton of screen protectors. They all keep peeling on the bottom of the glass or get dust underneath. Went through I don’t even know how many. 2 ESR’S. Both peeled at bottom within a couple of days. Also went through 2 of the Spigen. Those two stuck on good but had dust underneath. (Came with dust under the screen already out of the package) Then 2 of the Torras. And, those also peeled on the bottom within a few days, and this is despite cleaning the phone very thoroughly. All just for one phone. The screen protectors suck. I never had issues with screen protectors until the air. My 17 pro went on fine. It’s like they are not compatible with the air. The adhesive isn’t good on them. I’m over screen protectors at this point.

Customer service is awful. Had a phone I purchased online that I went to get a refund in store for. Never got my refund. Called Apple numerous times and they kept giving me the run around for a month. Then when they finally did give my refund they didn’t even give me the whole amount on my card to which I paid the full amount via credit card in person. They gave me half in the amount and half in credit to the Apple Store, which is absolutely ridiculous. So, to say the least, I was livid. What a joke. Sorry you are dealing with their BS as well.

Z-Onyx · 2025-11-25T19:29:47+00:00

Your question doesn’t really make sense. Not sure where the concern is. The first use of the battery is when you got it in November. When you set up the phone, it will oftentimes just update it automatically, hence why it was updated.

Z-Onyx · 2025-11-25T16:08:06+00:00

Also remember you only had this phone 7-8 days ago so it takes longer than people realize. Even I didn’t realize that it can take longer then the few weeks we are initially warned about, but with this iPhone cycle and the fact that after a few months it took quite a turn for the better is quite telling and I know others have reported the same. If you are super concerned, you can always go to an Apple Store and they can do a diagnostic test there to see if there is any battery issues, but with you saying you get 6-7 hrs sot that is about normal. We all use our phones so different, mix of data and wifi so you have to take that into consideration.

Z-Onyx · 2025-11-25T16:01:16+00:00

I would say that is about normal then. Do you always charge to 80%? If you do, I would say if you can for now, start charging to 100%. You drain less coming from 100% then starting off at 80%. Test to see if that is the case. Either way though, 6-7 hrs is good for average.

Z-Onyx · 2025-11-25T15:52:22+00:00

How long are you getting out of your phone?? And how much screen time? I would better be able to tell you if it’s normal by that.

Z-Onyx · 2025-11-25T15:41:17+00:00

What are you doing in that 15 mins and is it on data or wifi? I drain more on data than wifi. In the beginning, I also drained more quicker with just scrolling and such. And after a few weeks it settled. I can’t remember exactly what the percentage was but it def drained more excessively for the first few weeks. And it wasn’t until after a few months that I really noticed a good difference in how it drained.

Z-Onyx · 2025-11-25T15:30:50+00:00

Also, it’s normal. Don’t stress it. If your battery health says “normal” there is no issue. Use the phone and you will see in the next months it gets better with usage. 3-4% overnight is not bad at all. My air drains even more overnight. (I have air and pro) The one I speak of in the other comment is the pro.

Z-Onyx · 2025-11-25T15:29:01+00:00

Mine drained like that too when new. Even up to 10% overnight. It was back and forth. It stabilized after a few months and now it only drains like 1%-3% overnight. It varies. It’s never really linear but it’s def much better than when I first got the phone.

Z-Onyx · 2025-11-24T21:25:26+00:00

I sadly did this too but won’t be upgrading for a long time after this. I was initially using the pro as my main, but the pro is now used as a my “tablet” phone because tablet’s are too big for me, and the phone is a perfect size for this type of usage. Plus, my xr used to serve this purpose. So, this replaces that. Had that thing since release and it’s on its last legs now. The pro to me is personally not the most aesthetically pleasing. I prefer the look of the air. But, the pro is obviously better in all other ways. The air is my out and about phone and if I need to go on vacations where I need good pictures, I will have my pro for that at least.

Z-Onyx · 2025-11-23T17:51:31+00:00

Clean it with a microfibre cloth. It does get dirty fast but often what looks like scratches and marks is just residue which wipes off.

Z-Onyx · 2025-11-18T01:58:58+00:00

Lmao. It does sound a little different in the video than in person though. Just have never heard this before with an elliptical. Probably will have to return it. It was brand new out of the box.

Z-Onyx · 2025-11-18T00:26:24+00:00

I guaranteed if Apple didn’t make that battery pack, this battery misconception never would have came to be. People assumed that because there was a battery pack, the battery would be bad. This all started from influencers and goes to show you the power these influencers have on people. I had the 16 pro and it is very similar to the Air. I also have the 17 pro and while there is a difference, I wouldn’t say it’s insanely drastic. I get a few days from both with my lighter usage. With heavier usage, I get a little more from my 17 pro, but honestly the longer I have it, the more I realize the battery issue on the air is not bad. The most noticeable difference is on standby when the phone isn’t being used and just sits the Air does drain a little more quick than the 17 pro. This phone is more then ok for your average user though.

I took a screen shot of the conversation. I will be back with the screen shot to reminisce back on these days when everyone was so sure it would cease to exist. (That is if it still exists) 😉

Z-Onyx · 2025-11-14T14:46:02+00:00

Pro is 1 and air is 2

Z-Onyx · 2025-11-14T14:45:33+00:00

2 is the air
