[APPLE IPHONE AIR REVIEW]

Before we start there’s something you should know: I’m predisposed to like the iPhone Air.

For one thing there’s the name. I still remember when Steve Jobs pulled the first MacBook Air out of its manila envelope at MacWorld 2008, and I was so taken with it that it became my first-ever Apple computer. All my friends in the Windows world I was leaving called me crazy: it didn’t have the ports; it didn’t have the power – was I really that in love with a thin form factor?

Today, the same questions dot the discourse around the new iPhone Air. “The base model’s a better deal; the pro models have bigger batteries and sharper cameras.” All true. But after a week using the Air in the real world, only one bugs me enough to push me to go Pro – and it might not be the one you think.
