Why choosing between the iPhone Air and the Pro isn’t easy for everyone

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-10-06 06:28:22

Apple’s hardware design chief said yesterday the company knew it would be hard for some to choose between the new iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max. That isn’t true for everyone, of course. For some, the decision will be very straightforward – but I can see how it could be tricky for others … If I think back to some of the tech purchases I’ve made over the years, there have been many cases where the decision was straightforward.

What would you do with 52 hours a week of discretionary time? Make your time count. Published: 04 June 2023 Productivity Tim Urban has a good article describing how we have 100 10-minute "blocks" per day when we aren't sleeping. It's a great article, but I want to reframe it a little. I just filled out his graph for my weekdays: 8 hours doing school, 2 hours of eating, 50m each of commute & self-care.
