Some dude ditched their iPhone Air for a three-generation-old 14 Pro Max and walked away with $500 cash while feeling zero regrets about the swap. The person posted on Reddit about how their older device runs smoother than expected, handles 18-plus hours without charging, and delivers better photos thanks to its multi-lens camera setup versus the Air's single shooter.
Apple apparently expected the ultra-thin model to flop based on internal projections showing just six to eight percent of total yearly sales, and that prediction seems spot-on given how buyers keep bailing. The company views the Air as a testbed for experimental tech rather than a serious product line, which explains why they keep it around despite lackluster demand that basically murdered the entire thin-phone category before it could take off.
