I purchased a iPhone 17 Pro on release day upgrading from an iPhone 14 Pro but right out of the box holding it, generally checking it out the aluminum body made it feel like I was holding a can of beer, not a phone so I immediately traded it in for an iPhone Air made of titanium and I love it. I have no idea why all the bad press, but I am not a professional photographer so maybe the camera is the issue the battery life has been fine if I want to listen to music I have AirPods. Does anyone actually have one of these that has a major complaint?
Got a tip for us?

I recently upgraded from a 14 Pro to the 16 Pro Max thanks to a free upgrade through Verizon. Otherwise I'd be all over the 17 Air. I've said I'd never buy the first model of anything but the Air could change my mind.
My wife got a free upgrade too, jumping from the 11 Pro Max to the 17 Pro Max. She absolutely loves it - especially the wireless charging. Neither one of us is a photographer. We each have a couple hundred pictures saved so the standard model camera and the 17 Air cams would be fine for us. She looked at the 17 Air but preferred the 17 Pro Max. Not sure why - maybe the familiar form factor.

The Air is an absolutely WONDERFUL device. But if I’m spending $1000+ on a smartphone, it’s going to be the Pro/Max for only $100-200 more. Which is what I did.
