Apple Said to Cut iPhone Air Production Amid Underwhelming Sales
- nabla9 1y agoSimilarly Samsung has canceled its thin smartphone (Galaxy S26 Edge) https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s26-edge-cancelled-report-3607637/ https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s26-edge-can... You don't get any benefit from a thin phone if it's not thin all the way. Both the iPhone Air and S26 Edge phones have a thick, ugly bulge at the camera end. They are neither thin nor elegant.
- sangeeth96 1y agoI don't think this failed because of the bump, which exists on almost every phone. I really, _really_ wanted to go for the Air but even I couldn't bring myself to do it. My theory is that it largely falls down to the following missing things for most people including myself: 1. An ultrawide camera 2. Dual speakers 3. Better battery Even though battery-wise, it's impressive for the size, every other review puts it at plumb last which is concerning for any prospect buyer. It's a shame Apple didn't use the Air to experiment with some denser battery tech. I do hope Apple doesn't give up on the Air after this but it needs work before serious buyers consider it over the Pro models.
- akerl_ 1y agoHonestly for me it was the camera. My phone is my daily device for photo/video capture, and taking a step backwards in quality isn’t worth it for the size improvements.
