Does anyone see the iPhone Air as an alternative to the mini? I realize it is bigger, but do you think the thinness will make it easier to fit in your pocket? I’m not ready to give up my mini but the thinness intrigues me.
 
Probably not. It’s big and wide. Not easy to use one handed like the mini. I actually choose the pro since it’s probably more pocket friendly as it’s smaller.
 
I begrudgingly switched from a 13 mini to a 15 pro 2 years ago because the battery life of the mini was not working for my lifestyle. The biggest appeal of the Air for me is the weight; the 17 Pro is a dang brick. I figure if I can't use it one handed anyway I might as well try something that's lighter and (hopefully) more pocketable.

I'll probably preorder both the Air and the 17 Pro and decide which one I like more. Although I suspect my wife will see the Air (coming from 15 Plus) and I'll end up with the Pro. 😂
