Information about the iPhone Air surfaced ahead of Apple officially unveiling its latest smartphones. However, the slim design didn’t come without trade-offs, and one such compromise somewhat harks back to 2015. It was the year Apple launched a phone sporting mono sound speakers, marking a return to that era for this device.
iPhone Air without stereo sound
Users of Apple devices have observed that the official webpage for the iPhone Air indicates the smartphone possesses a single speaker, implying it lacks stereo sound capabilities. It’s worth noting that the last Apple phone model to feature monophonic sound was the iPhone 6S, which the iPhone Air seems to follow in design. This aspect has been pointed out on social media platforms like Reddit and X, but many internet users seem unfazed by it.
A common reasoning behind the absence of stereo sound in many smartphones is that most users tend to opt for external speakers or headphones instead, seldom utilizing the device’s built-in speaker. Consequently, it appears that this decision by Apple’s design team was made with cost savings in mind.
They believe the iPhone Air might be an interim endeavor aimed at developing Apple’s own foldable smartphone. While foldable phones have made their mark, Apple has yet to unveil its response to this trend. To some, the iPhone Air could potentially represent half of a foldable phone we might see launched next year.
The iPhone Air uniquely distinguishes itself, not only through its design but also in its naming scheme, as it doesn’t include a number, sparking curiosity. It’s unclear whether Apple is moving towards phasing out numbered smartphones, similar to their computers, or if the iPhone Air marks a temporary return to thin phones, with no plans for follow-up models. Some users may appreciate its features despite the limitations related to mono sound.
