- Base storage doubled हो गया है (256GB) — अच्छा upgrade है unboxing और usage के लिए।
Limitations / जो कम हो सकती हैं
- Slim design के कारण battery capacity Pro models जितनी बड़ी नहीं होगी, जिससे heavy use पर थोड़ी battery drain ज्यादा हो सकती है।
- Charging speed improvements हैं लेकिन बहुत भारी jump नहीं हुआ है — high watt fast chargers अभी भी optional लगते हैं।
- Air मॉडल में SIM slot कम हो सकता है या सिर्फ eSIM reliance ज्यादा हो सकती है।
User Experience Highlights
- Scroll, UI interactions, animations सब smoother होंगी thanks to 120Hz ProMotion।
- Display outdoor visibility बेहतर हुई है, sunlight में viewability बड़ी improvement है।
- Durability बढ़ी है — लेकिन पीछे backup case ya screen protector रखना अभी भी advisable hai।
