I am planning to pre-order a 17PM using my Apple Card. I have my AT&T account locked using their Wireless Account Lock feature. Do you think I need to unlock it to pre-order or just before receiving the new phone to do the eSIM transfer?
 
I have a 15 Pro now and always bought the regular Pro sized phones. Now, I can't wait to get the 17 Air. Looking forward to the thinner and lighter weight design.

I didn't think the thinness would make a big difference but after using my M4 iPad Pro, it feels so much better in the hand.
My dominant concerns about the Air are the battery and the lack of a third camera.

For me, it's only the battery. I hope it can last as long as my 15 Pro, then I'm golden. As for the camera, I'll miss the telephoto a little but I don't use it that much. Maybe they'll have a huge surprise and the single camera is a tetraprism camera that supports 3x or 5x optical zoom!

Wouldn't that be swell. I *think* I could live with the battery, I think the C1 modem is going to wonders for stretching the battery life longer than the mAh suggests it may last. It was a noticeable impact on the 16e in the family. So, battery is only minor, but I use my telephoto lens on my 16PM frequently. So, I don't know how giving that up will do unless they have a trick up their sleeve on the single lens they're using.
