    CNET usually has great content. This was diabolical…

    Air 5.6mm pro 8.75mm. I would always go for the pro while the thickness is like 3 mm difference with all the added features. This video was cool though guys 😎

    Fun video; great points on both sides. I’m leaning toward the Pro; the Air feels like a prototype that could really be great with that extra speaker, camera lens, and bringing it to the screen size of the Pro, which fits better in my hand than the larger Air. Thanks to all for a great debate!

      The concept is there, just needs a few more iterations to be a truly viable competitor to the pros.

    🤷 It doesn’t really matter; pick the phone that works best for you. I appreciated the Dad jokes, though. Lol

    I got the 17, 17 pro and Air. Tried each for a week. Kept the Air at the end.

    For the iPhone Air the price is not right for the kind of features and compromises to achieve its thinness. But what champions it is one handed usability and weight that doesn’t easily fatigue from longer use.
