The iPhone Air, really “not great”? This YouTuber reveals 3 flaws

Certainly! Here is the rewritten article in English, with the titles formatted to capitalize only the first word.

The iPhone Air is finally here, and everyone is wondering if it’s really worth the 1,229 euros price tag. In such situations, eyes naturally turn to Marques Brownlee’s reviews.

With his MKBHD channel, the YouTuber has become a go-to reference for determining if a product lives up to its promises. On September 23, he published his verdict on the iPhone Air. Having already tested the phone, he highlighted three drawbacks that could spoil the experience. Here they are.

The design of the iPhone Air impresses at first sight. MKBHD praises Apple for the phone’s slimness and lightness, which make it pleasant to handle. This smartphone is perfect for those who crave a discreet yet stylish device. The finishes and build quality show that the brand continues to focus on the aesthetics of its products.

However, the charm fades when discussing the battery life. The iPhone Air’s battery drains quickly, even with moderate use. In power-saving mode, the phone ends the day with about 15% battery after four hours of screen time.

For a brand-new device, this is quite disappointing. If this performance diminishes further over time, users might find themselves charging their phones multiple times a day, which isn’t aligned with the expected standards from an iPhone.

The single rear camera is another disappointing aspect. With only one lens, the phone struggles to compete with rivals that offer multiple sensors. MKBHD explains that while it may suffice for casual photos and videos, there are limited options for those seeking more professional-looking shots.

Additionally, the sound quality leaves much to be desired. The iPhone Air has only one speaker located at the top of the screen. In landscape mode, it’s easy to cover it with your hand, and the volume remains low. Whether watching videos or making conference calls, the audio quality disappoints compared to Apple’s usual standards, which have accustomed us to a more balanced experience.
