I like this phone. Nice and light easy to carry. The battery life is OK. It is not as bad as people say. I like the colors and I like the deal I got on it.
Phone is a big upgrade from my iPhone XR. I got the 1TB and don’t regret it. Hard to see its blue in some lighting, but I like it. Mono speaker, so minor downgrade in sound, but who listens to the phone speaker? Add a Bluetooth speaker and you’re good. Faster and slightly bigger than my XR. Quick transfer of my old phone to the new one was nice , took about an hour. So far the charging estimates have not been up to expectations. Took an hour and a half to charge from 0% and they claim better.
I received the phone and the speaker at the bottom of the phone does not work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there! Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that your phone’s battery life isn’t meeting your expectations. We understand the importance of being satisfied with your purchase, and we apologize it wasn't the case this time.
Because the iPhone Air is designed with a slim profile, it has a smaller battery and is typically rated for around 12 hours of continuous web use. More intensive activities—like social media, video streaming, or gaming—can drain the battery more quickly and may require mid‑day charging. A few tips that may help improve battery performance include: -Installing any available software updates -Checking Battery Usage in Settings to identify power‑heavy apps. -Lowering screen brightness -Turning off Background App Refresh for apps you don’t need running.

I love my new iPhone Air! It’s aesthetically more beautiful (loving the new ice blue color!), and so much lighter than my old 15 Pro. Even without the Pro camera, it still takes beautiful pictures and videos. Even my battery life has improved. If you’re on the fence between the Air and the Pro 17, and professional photography isn’t your hobby, definitely try out the Air!
