And, I must add, it’s nice to have a retort to everyone complaining about size and weight: if that is what is important to you, get an Air! I’ll take my (truly) all-day battery life and giant screen, thank you very much, and did I mention that the flagship color is Stratechery orange? What was weird to me yesterday, however, is that my enthusiasm over Apple’s announcement didn’t seem to be broadly shared. There was lots of moaning and groaning about weight and size (get an iPhone Air!), gripes about the lack of changes year-over-year, and general boredom with the pre-recorded presentation (OK, that’s a fair one, but at least Apple ventured to some other cities instead of endlessly filming in and around San Francisco). This post on Threads captured the sentiment:
