Hot take: iPhone Air isn't about making phones lighter, but to justify making their other models heavier. iPhone Air is 165g. The new iPhone Pro 17 is 204g but the 15 Pro was only 187g. iPhone 17 is 7g more than the iPhone 16 which was 170g (only 5g heavier than the new Air). Their pricing ladding places the Air above the regular 17 and below the 17 Pro. If Apple didn't make the Air, then the 17 family would have been Apples "Heaviest range of iPhones they have every made". That said, I am very happy about how Apple are adding more battery to all their phones - which might be were the extra weight is coming from. | ||
