I can cope with the battery life, or the lack of cameras, or even the mono speaker.

What really disappoints me, about the iPhone Air, however, is the color.

You're buying a phone entirely for its looks, not its features — but the colors are so subtle that the choices might as well not exist. Holding Light Gold in hand, I can't tell there's even a hint of gold to it. The Black and White choices are the only correct options. I don't know why Apple, year after year, gets color so wrong

Oh well

@stroughtonsmith the weirdest thing is that they *used* to make things with real colors and they were so lovely

I used the shit out of my iPod Nano (I think 5th gen?) and the anodized aluminum is still bright blue and nearly flawless. It is so, so pretty.

Honestly this thing _still_ feels basically impossible and it is sixteen years old.
