About

Mobile technology videos for the discerning gadget enthusiast, brought to you by Michael Fisher. My name is Michael Fisher. I’m a writer, sailor, podcaster and recovering actor whose childhood obsession with science fiction never quite faded. A quarter-century later, the technology that I coveted as a kid – from folding-screen phones to wearable tech – is woven into the fabric of everyday life. I’ve spent the past 15 years making videos that strive to uncover the truth of these products through detailed reviews. Welcome to MrMobile!

Skin your iPhone Air (or other device!) here: https://dbrand.com/mrmobile [APPLE IPHONE AIR REVIEW] Before we start there’s something you should know: I’m predisposed to like the iPhone Air. For one thing there’s the name. I still remember when Steve Jobs pulled the first *MacBook* Air out of its manila envelope at MacWorld 2008, and I was so taken with it that it became my first-ever Apple computer. All my friends in the Windows world I was leaving called me crazy: it didn’t have the ports; it didn’t have the power – was I really that in love with a thin form factor? Today, the same questions dot the discourse around the new iPhone Air. “The base model’s a better deal; the pro models have bigger batteries and sharper cameras.” All true. But after a week using the Air in the real world, only one bugs me enough to push me to go Pro – and it might not be the one you think. [ABOUT MRMOBILE'S IPHONE AIR REVIEW] The iPhone Air Review was produced following eight days with an iPhone Air review sample provided by Apple, tested on Google Fi in Cupertino CA and NYC. MrMobile does not offer manufacturers the opportunity to preview, edit or approve content before publication. Neither Apple nor any other manufacturer provided compensation in exchange for this coverage. The lone sponsor of this video is dbrand.
