Returning the Air: Balancing Trade-offs

In this episode of Basic AF, Tom and Jeff welcome back Chris Freitag and Gannon Nordberg to share their experiences of using the iPhone Air. 

The guys cover:

• How impossibly thin and light it feels in the hand 
• The stunning 3000-nit display 
• The “plateau” bump 
• Battery life and overheating scares 
• Why it’s delightful and a look at the future 
• Is it a keeper? 

🎧 Listen in for the unfiltered take: what works, what doesn’t, and whether the iPhone Air should be your next upgrade.
