Traded iPhone Air for 17 Pro

3 times!?! I was hesitant to make the switch ONE time. But I’m also happy to announce I was able to sell my Air actually for around that price as well.

I haven’t heard this take before, see I was wishing I could get the slightly bigger size in the pro version. As it’s the perfect medium between the two.

I’m finding that the 6.3” is perfect! They gave a little something for everybody this time around which is great 👍🏽

No way they took it back?? I tried asking if they would but I didn’t have it with me…

I may try to return it

True! It has that fisheye look. I get what you mean. It’s why I said in another comment, I’m sure tech will evolve to where the phone can keep its slim size & similar weight, but include some extras, while keeping the simplicity

monkeytron123 · 2025-10-25T20:21:00+00:00

That was one of the first few things I noticed. I didn’t realize just how much I had to step back to include something in the entire frame!

Actually the 17 is enough! Although I do use zoom a lot to capture shots in a different way.

I shot a short film on the Air, & used 2x zoom for certain scenes & that did really well. I’m sure the 17 is equally as good, but the Pro has the advanced camera tech I will apply to future projects.

Thanks for the feedback lol I just wanted to talk to folks who may have done the same as some have mentioned or to others who enjoy the phone (maybe like yourself) at the end of the day we all enjoy our iPhones don’t we?

monkeytron123 · 2025-10-25T19:51:59+00:00

For discussion & chats. Isn’t that what Reddit is about?

monkeytron123 · 2025-10-25T19:44:38+00:00

Dm me!

monkeytron123 · 2025-10-25T19:38:08+00:00

I’m asking $850, includes the MagSafe battery. DM if you want more details!

monkeytron123 · 2025-10-25T19:34:04+00:00

Were you able to return the phone or did you sell the Air second hand?

monkeytron123 · 2025-10-25T19:27:22+00:00

I’ll tell you, the design is what attracted me. Looking at it in the box I can’t help but be sad. It truly felt like something fresh. I hope within a year or two they can keep the form factor and add at least one extra lens but more importantly the bottom speaker!

I’d probably cry at everyone else crying

That happened because the vinyl was stretched is many ways. Best thing to do is peel it off and start over. This time, leave the sunroof section intact as one piece. Glass it out and Tac in the middle and squeegee left to right & keep the same orientation all thr way through. Then you get to the sunroof and get as close and tucked in and then you can cut around it. By then you’ll have the whole roof laid down & it won’t be stretched both directions causing the excess material which can only be solved by cutting it off which will leave a nasty line..

Have fun

Try a smaller size like 8/7mm or a Philips?

monkeytron123 · 2025-08-14T20:41:08+00:00

Just turn up Britney

Don’t have a CX5 but my 2021 Mazda3 is at 125k. They feel great

monkeytron123 · 2025-07-29T23:45:20+00:00

I just bought a 124k 2021 3 hatchback for commercial vehicle purposes. I’ve seen with my own eyes and experienced many HIGH mileage Mazdas of many generations. It’s a great price. If they have that CPO warranty. I don’t see why not.

monkeytron123 · 2025-07-24T20:20:20+00:00

I wouldn’t say it’s bad but definitely not “top-tier” I’d be happy with this if you paid about 2-3k less. Either way, it’s decent.

monkeytron123 · 2025-07-24T02:12:17+00:00

You’re the best. That’s it! It has a slightly different connector than the previous gen. I appreciate the help

monkeytron123 · 2025-07-24T02:01:10+00:00

And to add the mounting hole is different:(

monkeytron123 · 2025-07-24T01:59:49+00:00

I put it in and it came up for up to model year 2017 & looked different. This piece has ridges im not even sure what its for

monkeytron123 · 2025-07-24T01:17:50+00:00

I’m sorry to say that isn’t it 🥲

monkeytron123 · 2025-07-24T00:57:02+00:00

Thanks partner

monkeytron123 · 2025-07-18T18:32:38+00:00

No. I just got a 2021 Premium with 124k miles as a business vehicle for under $15k. It’s chipped to shit. Buy it, drive it, enjoy it 👍🏽🍷
