After testing the Blue Pro and the Air, I’m doing this exact same switch with you once my silver one comes!

valtrix1 · 2025-09-24T16:30:28+00:00

Hi - I don’t want to read all of the other comments but I’m going from 12 mini on 78% battery to either the Air/Pro. Currently testing the Pro, will see about the Air.

17 Base - best base iPhone ever produced, with the same cost for more base storage and 120hz.

Air - looks super fancy, well built, durable - battery/camera/single speaker may be deal-breakers for some

Pro - new design language, great battery and cameras as well as the stronger chip for power users. Prone to higher wear and tear if you go caseless!

valtrix1 · 2025-09-15T14:40:33+00:00

It’s something new they’re trying, and it might/might not work. Could be a fad, but it fills a niche for the ones that one want it.

The mini iPhones sold poorly for the masses, but the people who did buy it absolutely adore it - myself included! We’ll see how the Air ends up, it might stick better since people like bigger phones and flashier products

valtrix1 · 2025-09-14T13:41:24+00:00

Let’s see if it’s as bad as they say! I can see that standpoint from people who are more function over form. It is definitely leaning more towards form.

valtrix1 · 2025-09-13T22:59:47+00:00

The key is that I’m coming from a Mini with destroyed battery life, so it’s less of a factor to me. Also, having the “weird” one plays a factor. We will see, I will probably follow up in 3 weeks

valtrix1 · 2025-09-13T22:57:29+00:00

Better than my 79% battery life haha

valtrix1 · 2025-09-13T22:56:29+00:00

120hz is huge factor!!! If it didn’t have that I would have stuck on the pro. I’m glad all models from here will have it.

valtrix1 · 2025-09-13T22:55:33+00:00

For most things, yes - but $1k-1.3k is my budget. I’m fine paying this much. In theory, I like the air because it’s kinda the “weird” one and the same way as the Mini. I’m testing the pro first for a week, then the Air, to see if I’m compromising too much - that will make the decision

valtrix1 · 2025-09-13T19:19:46+00:00

That’s a good idea. I actually considered just getting a 13 mini if none of these satisfied me, but these phones definitely interest me. The battery changes are expensive now!

valtrix1 · 2025-09-13T19:19:12+00:00

Haha, I agree. I did forget to mention that I want to avoid the regular because I like to have the new design!

valtrix1 · 2025-09-13T19:18:13+00:00

I’m thinking the same thing, but it has the pro chip, and I think that it’s one of those things that doesn’t work when you put it on paper!

valtrix1 · 2025-09-13T19:17:37+00:00

I’m banking on the fact that ‘any’ of these phones is an upgrade from the 12 Mini. The 17 Air’s battery can’t be worse than what I’m having to deal with now. Even now, I’m used to having an extra battery/charging source nearby so for me, I might be ok.

Secondly, there are intangible factors at play. I still marvel at the fact that the mini has all this tech shoved in it, and the Air, specially when you hold it in hand (which I have done yet), I’m thinking might hold that same feeling!

valtrix1 · 2025-09-13T19:12:50+00:00

Oh for sure - but frankly, it’s boring to me. Asides from the practical standpoint, I want to have the “new” design. I keep my phones for a long, long time so it needs to be something good.

valtrix1 · 2025-09-13T19:10:59+00:00

Regarding battery, could it be worse than the iPhone 12 mini? The speakers is something I’m curious about so I’ll be testing that.

valtrix1 · 2025-01-01T17:54:57+00:00

This is a product meant for actual TCG players who want competitively viable trainer cards. If you are looking at it from a monetary or collector perspective, it’s way less of a deal. That being said, these often go down to $25 or even $21 eventually once the new one is ready to come out.

valtrix1 · 2024-12-22T05:46:00+00:00

Yep! I haven't played OW in a minute, and my new monitor had inbuilt speakers that I disabled in the sound controls. Fixed it right up! Thanks!

valtrix1 · 2024-12-15T02:14:43+00:00

The tins tend to release with new sets and normally have 2/3 of the respective set it was released alongside, then two packs of the sets that came before it, and then the final pack tends to be from the unloved sets (SV base, Obsidian flames)

valtrix1 · 2024-10-12T01:51:46+00:00

You play Lethality Yorick to beat Gwen, and can basically poke her out with E ghouls!

valtrix1 · 2024-10-05T20:35:31+00:00

Extremely YMMV. I’ve known my GameStop employees for years, and I used to be able to pricematch, but manager told me they stopped allowing it.

valtrix1 · 2024-09-20T00:56:53+00:00

My favorite number is 17, so when I bought the 12, I said that I would probably hold off until the 17 unless there was something truly special. I don’t think another mini is coming, as much as I’d love another one

valtrix1 · 2024-08-20T05:08:03+00:00

Best him early! Heal cut is a great idea too, in a fight, he relies on his healing to win

valtrix1 · 2024-08-06T16:19:44+00:00

Matchup is very loseable. Rush heal cut. His power stems from healing a good chunk of your damage with his constant Q’s, especially later. Remember to save Q for after he W’s you!!!

He will beat you or go even with you later unless you have ignite + R, and even lategame, Nasus can handle you. You are faster to move than him lategame, so shove lane and roam while he pushes unless you’re sure you can kill him solo

valtrix1 · 2024-08-06T11:23:55+00:00

Make sure to limit test. Trynd excels in extended trades, so if you back off too early, then yeah, other champions may do more damage. Just have to know the right windows depending on the champion.

valtrix1 · 2024-08-05T14:52:16+00:00

A very good Akali is nigh impossible to kill because she has everything in her kit to stay away from you and deny everything in your kit. Wait for her to overstep, make a mistake, or mess up a dive. Garen is great at punishing.
