"It's been a while since an Apple event showed off a new product that made me immediately think I need that. Since - I dunno, the iPhone X? - the upgrades have mostly been incremental. A little faster, a little better camera. Still, you'd be fine keeping your old phone. But seeing the iPhone Air at Tuesday's Apple event, I went full cartoon wolf eyes bulging out a-WOO-gah. I need that."
"I've been devoted to the Max size of iPhones for years now - I love the big screen for reading and watching - and I wouldn't be willing to give up a Big Screen just for a lighter phone. (The iPhone Air's screen is 6.5 inches, which is juuust slightly smaller than the iPhone 17 Pro Max's 6.9 inches. Personally, I'm used to the Pro Max 14, which is only 6.7 inches. I can deal with the loss of 0.2 inches!)"
Apple's flagship upgrades have been incremental since the iPhone X, typically offering modest speed and camera improvements that leave older phones adequate. The iPhone Air positions itself as a thinner premium option at $999, retaining a large 6.5-inch display close to current Pro Max models while reducing weight. I prefer Max-sized screens for reading and video and resist smaller phones, but I acknowledge that the Air's slight screen reduction is acceptable. I carry my phone in a purse and use a Pop Socket. I report increasing wrist pain from prolonged use of the heavier Pro Max, making a lighter device appealing.
