Before the iPhone 16 series rolled out, I knew I wanted an iPhone with a larger screen than the traditional iPhone Pro size I’d been using.
I went with the iPhone 16 Plus, then switched to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, testing both handsets for a couple of months each. The screens were amazing, and that’s the main thing I miss about them.
I didn’t like the bulk, though. Somehow, I felt the phone’s large footprint more on the Plus. The iPhone 16 Pro Max turned out to offer a better experience. The titanium frame might explain why the Pro Max felt so good in hand.
Those four months with the larger iPhone 16 models convinced me that Apple was on the right track with the iPhone 17 Air. That’s the ultra-thin iPhone 17 version that will replace the Plus size this year. We’ve seen the Air in leaks since last year.
The iPhone 17 Air could give me the large-screen iPhone experience without the bulky footprint. I’ll take that, even if I have to sacrifice battery life and camera performance. Also, if a new rumor is accurate, I won’t have to worry about durability. The iPhone 17 Air should be the only iPhone 17 version with a titanium frame.
