Apple debuted its super-slim iPhone Air on Tuesday, and after getting my hands on the device at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, I can confirm it's quite striking to hold. At just 5.6mm thick and 165 grams, it's one of those phones you may just have to feel to understand its appeal. I look forward to finding out if what's on the inside lives up to that show-stopping design. With the iPhone Air in one hand and my iPhone 16 Pro Max in the other, the difference between the two devices is strik

The biggest concerns have been higher costs driven by a shift from perpetual licenses to subscriptions and the bundling of products into fewer, more ex
