As someone who upgrades annually in the 1UP program, always going with the Pro Max, I am wondering if the 17 Air will be a worthwhile change this year. Anyone else giving it thought?

The camera downgrade, the rumored one speaker seem like some big things coming from the Pro, but if the air gains AOD, etc it might be a cool phone to get this year.
 
Me! I’m getting tired of a heavy phone. The main reason I choose the Pro Max iPhone is battery life. If the Air has similar battery life to my 14 Pro Max it’s an instant buy for me.

I don’t take enough photos to care about the camera. It could have an LCD screen and I also wouldn’t care.

For Americans the 17 Air might be a good option if the tariffs take effect and prices go up. In general though the Promotion display and new design will attract a lot of former Pro owners for sure, even with only one camera and inferior speakers. Ill personally be considering the 17 Air or 17 Pro.
