More like an admission that titanium was a fuckup but they had to couch it in terms of an upgrade.
Because titanium has strengths and minuses, which make it well suited for a thin device with a smaller battery and thus lower power thresholds and poorly suited for a high end device designed to run at high spec
yea zoomers are that dumb
do you understand the concept of throttling and lower clocks to preserve a smaller battery or are you just going to ask leading questions like an annoying redditor
titanium is stronger which is good for a thin device. But it doesn't dissipate heat as well as aluminum. A lot of people complained about recent iPhones throttling and getting too hot. So they are going back to aluminum. But keeping titanium for a device that will probably be designed to run slower and throttle because it is thinner and has a smaller battery.
Supply seems really strong, release day delivery available still almost half an hour in.
My work phone is a 16e. It's a solid phone.

it's not new, I've seen people with these straps at least 4 years ago.
Do you shoot lots of 4K video to use the 1TB storage?
Had to wait 10 minutes before I could access the app, surprised to find the shipping date for this was already pushed back by a week while the Air was readily available. Don't mind going to the store though, they normally handle the lines well enough.
Constantly everyday, my 512GB is already at 400GB used. I could delete more videos but I prefer to have them readily available on my phone and not have to worry about storage. I'm also selling my current phone for a good price so I figured I'd do the 1TB this time.
The new iPhone 17 pro oh wait thats my Xiaomi mi 11 ultra from 2021
So its as easy to steal as one of those handbags with the thin straps? yeh, great idea
If the Air had a larger screen similar or larger to the Pro Max I think I would have gotten It too, but the I heard about the mono speaker and it was no longer as appealing.So its as easy to steal as one of those handbags with the thin straps? yeh, great idea
I was considering the Air because it reminds me of the original iPod touch for some reason which at the time was state of the art, but there is no way I can forgive the mono speaker, I use my phone every day blaring out tunes or audio books/YouTube in the background, I'm not bothered about the actual stereo (lets face it you dont get too much stereo from a phone, but 2 speakers is better than one especially when that speaker is the earpiece speaker which in general is not as good as a dedicated speaker. Maybe reviews will change my mind but I just have a feeling that Apple is going to excuse it by saying you should always be using their earphones and not the speaker which reminds me of when Apple was at the forefront of getting rid of the 3.5mm headphone jack (I'm not too othered about that now, seeing as I have actually good bluetooth earphones)
But the whole back of the phone was fucking glass. Aluminum can be strong especially in a unibody form factor which is what they're using now. I'm with you, I'd prefer titanium, but I have a feeling that might have been way more expensive.
Well that is the argument I give to my kids all the time, but those phones I buy outright, I personally have a contract and I have always had a somewhat powerful phone. I'm not really doing it to save money as such and don't mind paying around what I am currently paying monthly. In fact, after switching back from my Razr Ultra to my old Pixel 6 Pro I realised I missed much of what is compromised with that flip phone (much better camera for one). SO my dilemma is really, is it worth getting the iPhone Air just to have something a bit different worth it over the much more powerful S25 Ultra (and free 14" tablet), basically 'pretty' over 'powerful' is what it boils down to (not that the iPhone isnt powerful or that the S25 is ugly)
