every time i pick up my iPhone Air i'm reminded how much every other phone now weighs like a brick 🧱

(even though it's just as light as the 16e)

Michael Tigas @michaeltigas.bsky.social · Sep 23

pretty neat 🫡

going to be interesting observing the general public reception as everybody upgrades their devices 🙄

(definitely not risking upgrading my Mac)

three days into iOS 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and they still feel like a beta OS...

constant stutters on everything except my Air, the new CarPlay UI was surprisingly difficult to read. (had to pull over to fix the tiny font, and no light wallpapers anymore)

i just noticed Dumb Phone got a shout out on the App Store iOS 26 favourites list this past week!

super cool to see, and in great company with other indies also 😀 😀 😀

crazy how light the iPhone Air is, been an absolute marvel to use the last 24 hrs!

i genuinely loved using my 16e too, so this new screen size will take some getting used to.

fun evening ahead 😁😁 #iphoneair

honestly can't wait to pick up the iPhone Air on Friday.

i've been rocking the 16e for half a year, which lasts 2 days on a single charge, and is mind blowing seeing the battery stats online being on-par for something half as thick

definitely unphased about Promotion though 😁

happy iOS 26 day everyone 😁

looking forward to catching up on everything new that people have been working hard on the last few weeks & months!

Michael Tigas @michaeltigas.bsky.social · Sep 12

let's goooooo 😁

we going with iPhone Air or standard Pro this year?

i appreciate the lighter-ness, but have sorely missed the big telephoto zoom on the 16e the last few months.

decisions, decisions, decisions... 🙄

visited one of my local tallest mountains which gives an awesome view of the city from roughly 50km out

the one drawback of the iPhone 16e's 2x camera 🥲
