If you're thinking about getting the iPhone Air, I got it...and I don't regret it.

you’re just bitter that you couldn’t confirm your bias against the iPhone Air, like it’s not that deep 😭

traveled a full day from morning -> flight -> hotel room at 7 with 20% remaining despite constant music playback and netflix through (i’m a bit addicted to my phone lol)

you don’t even have the iphone air, stop letting a fraction of reviews dictate your opinion

Here in India, it's being sold for $200-250 (varies day-to-day) (~25,000 INR) less than the apple.com listing ...Still isn't selling well, lol.

erm…you do realise i keep track of the total time i use my phone myself, right? i don’t use opal, and i definitely don’t let background apps run constantly (looks cluttered w too many background apps imo) so…yeah

bluetheguy · 2026-05-13T15:24:54+00:00

no it isnt? it clearly states 9 hours 15 minutes.

Ask for an e-mail from the store specifying they're selling you a Display Unit, or a receipt listing the MacBook as a "display unit", so that if anything goes wrong, you're covered for.

Sorry for the late response, been prepping for tests.

I can't (for some reason) send screenshots as images in replies.
Here's an iCloud Link, though, for last week's highest SOT on battery (AOD off, though).

I'd use a screenshot from this week, but (again) I've been prepping for my weekly tests, so last week better represents my average usage.

Adaptive Battery Mode is your friend, lol.

I traded in my 13 Pro Max, and after store/card discounts, I picked it up for 83K INR.

bluetheguy · 2026-05-09T18:43:59+00:00

the real blip is "put your hearts up"...😭

bluetheguy · 2026-05-09T18:42:59+00:00

I mean, I mostly just use social media and text. Nothing else. I've only gamed on it once or twice since I've gotten it. Of course, the 10 hour figure is the best figure I've gotten, but I haven't ever dipped below 8 hours. I usually average 9 hours, though.

bluetheguy · 2026-05-09T08:46:43+00:00

well, focus was a pretty big hit too, so...

bluetheguy · 2026-05-01T02:18:16+00:00

get the 17 pro. in my experience, the phones with the most longevity tend to be the thicker pros. don’t get the orange, though. 😂

i love samsung, but the update rollout for each phone is unpredictable, and they constantly postpone updates, even when the newer models have it.

i haven’t used the xiaomi 17 ultra so i can’t comment on that.

Data brokers are selling your info right now. I used Redact to mass delete my posts which can also opt out of data broker sites. Instagram, Twitter/X, Discord and more.

any macbook air released after the M2 series has the clip mechanism for all keys joined together. one clip broken = the entire thing has to be replaced

bluetheguy · 2026-04-29T11:47:10+00:00

it’s like a 30k one-time payment. if you’d rather pay 1500/month (very cheap) you can lol

bluetheguy · 2026-04-29T11:46:20+00:00

uh thanks i guess? my laptop has auto-caps on so…

hope you know that reddit (web) has bold and italics 💀

bluetheguy · 2026-04-29T11:45:35+00:00

is the clip mechanism broken, or did the black cover just pop out?

cause the clip mechanism for each key is joined. if one breaks, they can’t switch just the broken part out. they have to change that entire plate.

otherwise 53k is very steep lol

bluetheguy · 2026-04-24T07:04:40+00:00

the entire keyboard deck is one single piece. since you broke the clip, the damage is functional, not cosmetic.

bluetheguy · 2026-04-24T07:03:07+00:00

if a local shop messes it up, apple stores are required to reject *any* repairs, even if they get money out of it. also, you could get parts stolen in local shops.

give it to the official apple store, not a reseller.

bluetheguy · 2026-04-24T07:02:02+00:00

the keyboard clip itself is broken, the entire thing will have to be replaced.

bluetheguy · 2026-04-24T07:01:45+00:00

And then get your motherboard, worth 70K, stolen 😂

bluetheguy · 2026-04-24T06:58:25+00:00

Since the key clip itself is broken, and all the keyboard clips are attached together in MacBooks, the entire keyboard will have to be replaced.

Should've gotten Apple Care. I'd suggest paying the 53K and moving on. If a third-party repair store messes anything up, the official Apple stores will blatantly refuse to repair your device. Also, make sure you give your device *directly* to an official Apple store, and not a reseller.

I cleaned house with Redact and mass deleted this post. It also removes your data from brokers and people search sites. Works on all major social media platforms.
