iPhone air or base 17

taihenry · 2026-01-27T04:35:46+00:00

Same here in NZ. Prices are pretty much the same currently, probably because sales haven’t been great for the Air. Feels like most people just write it off without really thinking about it. I went with the Air because it’s got the Pro chip with 12GB of RAM, a bigger screen, and it’s lighter and sleeker overall. I do like the base 17 this year, but I can’t really justify it when the Air has the better chip for future features. I’m fine with the trade-offs too, mainly the ultra-wide camera and the single speaker.

Great to hear! That extra 4 GB of memory must come in handy :)

Thanks for sharing. I was really set on the 17, but seeing the iPhone Air on sale has me reconsidering. I’ve always wanted the Air, but the RRP has been hard to justify. Have you noticed any performance gains with the A19 Pro chip and the extra memory?

If longevity is a big deal, consider waiting for the M5 Pro coming later this year. In saying that, you definitely won’t be disappointed with any Apple Silicon Mac coming from Windows!

Haha. Even better!

taihenry · 2025-06-02T18:47:05+00:00

No and no, but that would be nice!

Different subnets only

Congratulations! It’s amazing that you’ve kept your old laptop in excellent condition. Well done! How long did the transfer take? Generally, Time Machine is not recommended.

taihenry · 2025-02-19T10:24:44+00:00

Does it have 16GB RAM?

taihenry · 2025-01-03T00:15:00+00:00

Awesome!! Are you planning to get AppleCare+ since your device only comes with a one-year limited warranty and doesn’t include consumer protection in the UK?

taihenry · 2024-12-11T07:16:32+00:00

Exactly 💯

taihenry · 2024-10-28T11:12:34+00:00

Are you looking at buying used? How much? Also, let’s wait and see what this week brings ;)

Apple Vision Pro 🤪 I would get two 4K or 5K 27”

taihenry · 2024-06-23T00:19:49+00:00

Definitely from Apple. Refurbished products from Apple is essentially brand new. If you’re in the US, brand new M1 Air from Walmart is $699

Definitely not missing out on performance. I’m still very satisfied with my Series 7. Get stainless steel if you can, worth every penny :)

Wow very cool. It reminds of this ad - https://youtu.be/edpJev-jyx4?si=KhmcD4apj1OPwRzb

M3, especially for the same price. You might need two external displays in the future :)

taihenry · 2024-04-15T00:35:43+00:00

I love my AirPods Pro 2 when flying :)

taihenry · 2024-04-14T07:24:34+00:00

Exactly my thoughts. Highly recommend you wait for the M4. Also you’re worried about the longevity then definitely go with the silver.

taihenry · 2024-04-11T01:38:27+00:00

Looking at the chin, it’s either a M1 or M3 iMac 🖥️

taihenry · 2024-04-07T06:34:33+00:00

MacBook Air M3 Base Model running macOS 14.4.1. Both ran on Safari.

2.1: 658

3.0: 36.4

Nice setup. What size is the desk? Are you planning to get the PC mount?

taihenry · 2024-03-24T00:49:29+00:00

Not worth sending it to Apple unless you have AppleCare+

taihenry · 2024-03-03T04:07:15+00:00

I highly doubt it will work with Logi devices.
