I want to love Apple’s new iPhone Air, but the iPhone 17 is a better deal

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-10-09 21:21:14

My husband is a gadget enthusiast. He’s already on his second folding smartphone — a Galaxy Z Flip7 — after having a Motorola Razr when it first came out. I’m more of a “convince me” kind of gadget lover. If I see a reason to get excited, I’m in. Otherwise, I’ll stick with what I’ve got until I have a reason to upgrade. I still remember when Apple came out with Touch ID to end password fatigue. I bought one immediately. I’ve been in the Apple ecosystem for more than a decade because my work com

There's a lot to like about the new iPhone lineup: new selfie cameras , a new unibody frame and a even a super-thin iPhone, if that's your thing. All of the new phones share one important upgrade you might have missed during Apple's 72-minute livestream, though: they all start at 256GB of storage. For the first time in four years, Apple raised the base-level storage on its entire iPhone lineup. Since the iPhone 13, Apple's phones have started at 128GB for the cheapest configuration.

Apple debuted its super-slim iPhone Air on Tuesday, and after getting my hands on the device at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, I'm amazed at just how thin and lightweight it really is. At just 5.6mm thick and 165 grams, it's one of those phones you may just have to hold to understand its appeal.

Hands-on with Apple’s new iPhones: Beauty and the beast and the regular-looking one

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-10 02:59:42

CUPERTINO, Calif.—We're a long way from the days when a new iPhone launch just meant one new phone. It shifted to "basically the same phone in two sizes" a decade or so ago, and then to a version of "one lineup of regular phones and one lineup of Pro phones" in 2017 when the iPhone 8 was introduced next to the iPhone X. But thanks to Apple's newly introduced iPhone Air, the iPhone 17 lineup gives new phone buyers more choices and trade-offs than they've ever had before. Apple's phones are now a
