Column, notably on Apple hype last night: Apple’s iPhone Air reveal was a lot of hot air – and revealed too many compromises • https://www.stuff.tv/features/apples-iphone-air-reveal-was-a-lot-of-hot-air-and-revealed-too-many-compromises/

@craiggrannell It’ll be an interesting experiment to see if people would rather drop 100 notes and get more chonk to access better battery life and cameras.

My iPhone 16 Pro battery experience is like yours, and I hate the fuzziness of the telephoto camera, so a 17 Pro is a no brainer upgrade for me, chonk be damned.

@davidbcohen Whereas I just get to regret not going for the iPhone Update Programme a year ago. Oh well.

@craiggrannell Me too, tbh - but I can just about switch into the programme cost neutrally (if I squint!) in case Apple delivers a good folder next year

@craiggrannell the point of #iPhoneAir is production testing, ready for glueing it to a hinge and battery to make next years foldable

@falken Yep. I’ve written about that before. But right now, Apple is selling a product and throwing hype by the bucketload. So in this piece, I address what is happening now rather than what might happen tomorrow.

@craiggrannell "selling" a bit like their VR headsets that are just headline generator machines?
