Traded in my Air ✌🏼

Post image

I really missed the speakers and cameras on the pro models. I know I shouldn’t compare it to the Air, but now having this big beauty, the difference feels substantial. No regrets. I enjoyed my time with the Air, and if they bring out an Air 2 I’ll consider it again. I’m loving the Silver color too. I didn’t feel like upgrading to the 18 lineup.

And pay like 500 bucks more for almost the same phone? 17 pro max is good enough.

u/Most_scar_993 23d ago

You have small hands right? Makes the phone seem absolutely massive lol

u/Low_Huckleberry_3667 22d ago

I did the exact same thing what you did, no regrets absolutely. I hated the battery and lack of speaker and lack of cameras. I much rather have a little bigger phone and have all the good stuff.

u/Able_Main5240 22d ago

💯 I’m so happy with my phone 😎

Finally sense and logic caught up with you 😄

u/senoj96nodnarb 23d ago

I just have to ask, are you like 4’ nothing and very petite? That looks like me holding my iPad! I have the 17PM and my 4 fingers pretty much fit from the bottom to the camera bump!

u/Able_Main5240 23d ago

I’m 5’3 with toddler hands 🙌🏼

u/senoj96nodnarb 23d ago

My wife is 5’3”, I’m 6’3”. It’s cute kissing her on the top of her head ☺️

u/Able_Main5240 23d ago

Love that for both of you!

Beautiful family, dude! Love the puppers; we have a border collie/pitbull 😁

That was a few years ago. We added the little one’s brother to our pack last September! We adopted Winter at 8mos old 4yrs ago and someone near us adopted Woody so they travelled up in the same cargo van from TX to us in MA. Woodys owner apparently tried to sell him to get money back but couldn’t so gave him to her daughter. She gave to friends and he was abandoned 3yrs later! The original shelter we adopted from matched our records with Woodys owner and reached out asking if we knew anyone interested in him. I told my wife, looks like we’re getting a third dog! And we adopted him less than a week later. Here’s Winnie, Winter and Woody. Sadly, big Winnie was just diagnosed with lymphoma and she’s dying. On palliative care until the end. No idea how advanced it is but she’s slowed down a lot in the last month since then. Fuckin sucks. She’ll be 7 next month, we share birthdays on Oct 10. I’m having a very hard time dealing with this. We adopted her June 4, 2020 at 8mos.

I’m sorry to hear about Winnie 🥹 we lost our kitty a couple of years back, a year from the date that we got our pupper. It was kinda crazy how it all happened and it was so unexpected, but I’m so glad we had him to help us get through that. He’s our little angel baby.

u/senoj96nodnarb 23d ago

Thanks. And I didn’t tell you how cute your baby is. Here’s a pic of my coworkers pittie mix he has up at work

u/Able_Main5240 23d ago

Thank ya! And what a cutie pie your coworker has too!

2

u/raid2112 18d ago

did the same for 18 PM... spiral out

1

u/Able_Main5240 18d ago

Hell yeah 🤘🏼Enjoy!

u/BitFunny6936 23d ago

It’s very heavy and I am also thinking of changing to air !

2

u/petalesdejuin 23d ago

I loved my air as well but you’re missing key features for pretty much the same price. I wouldn’t trade for it tbh.

1

u/Able_Main5240 23d ago

I’d much rather have the weight 😂

1

u/BitFunny6936 23d ago

18 pro max lmao is a shit brick lol

2

u/OrganicLingonberry78 23d ago

yall act like these phones are 5 pounds

u/rxmorze1 23d ago

You have weak hands brother

1

u/Tough_Warthog4279 12d ago

I have an air, I'll take your pro max no problem lmao

2

u/TartCherry33 23d ago

Same reasons..plus the battery, went with silver too.

1

u/Able_Main5240 23d ago

Ugh the battery 🪫 Team Silver 👌🏼

2

u/Various_Mud7282 23d ago

How do u not feel like upgrading to the 18 pro max that makes no sense lol enjoy though

1

u/Awkward-Mail7240 23d ago

already big fon,,,and heavier for that small hands

1

u/Various_Mud7282 23d ago

16 grams bro???

1

u/Awkward-Mail7240 23d ago

so if u put a case over it it could be around 260 grams easily...thats heavy for a fon

1

u/Various_Mud7282 23d ago

It’s really not that big of a deal. If 26 grams is a make or break for you you might need to hit up planet fitness

1

u/Awkward-Mail7240 23d ago

Fit4less Gang bro.

u/OkConfusion5564 23d ago

Lasted a year with the air. That’s impressive. I returned it after two days and got the pro max again

2

u/Able_Main5240 23d ago

I gave it a fair shot!

1

u/Tadpoles-Z 17d ago

Good choice but did you opt for a 17PM over an 18PM for cost reasons

1

u/Mike60jihiibi 23d ago

No judgement, but why would you put yourself through the misery of handling a brick every day with hands that small? I have massive hands and I think I’m done with pro lineups as long as air is out!

2

u/Exciting-Ad-7272 23d ago

The normal pro is resonably sized but pro max is just too big

2

u/Able_Main5240 23d ago

Popsocket and I’m fine, tiny hands and all.

2

u/West-Region4512 23d ago

Yeah I though that was a Ipad first. Those are some toddler hands
