Here’s why that phone’s actually a long-overdue good thing for Apple and its customers; me being one for quite a long time…
So I’ve been trying hard to transition from iPhone to Android, as I really like folding phones like the Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Apple isn’t going to deliver its own book-like foldable anytime soon, if ever, according to reliable insiders.
And this year’s upcoming iPhone 16 series is anything but exciting for me, with their biggest selling point arguably being Apple Intelligence, that won’t even be available in my region at launch, so what’s my incentive to « upgrade » then?
Still, the billion dollar company with great, safe products and a pretty tight hold on the US smartphone market appears to finally be doing something right – fixing the iPhone.
What do I mean by that? Well, I mean releasing an iPhone that actually fits with Apple’s other products, such as MacBooks and iPads, making everything more consistent.
And an iPhone I believe I might actually want to buy next year, when it’s rumored to come out – the likely-to-be-called iPhone 17 Air.

I don’t want an expensive, heavy iPhone 16 Pro Max, I want a perfect middle-ground iPhone that’s light, has long battery life, and doesn’t skimp on too many features

For many, many years now I’ve only been buying Apple’s « Air » brand of products. iPad Air, MacBook Air, iPhone Air… oh wait, that third one never existed, so I’ve been forced to buy either the iPhone mini, when that was around, or the iPhone Plus.
There was no other option for people like me, who don’t want the cheapest, base iPhone, but definitely also don’t need the most expensive, and in my opinion – heavy – iPhone Pro model.
