I’m an iPhone 16 Plus owner, and I get why we need the iPhone 17 Air
Going into the iPhone 16 preorder season, I knew I wouldn't buy a Pro model. Also, I didn't want one of the small ones. By that, I mean the 6.1-inch iPhone 16 and 6.3-inch iPhone 16 Pro seemed too small for me. I say that as someone who, up until now, has chosen the small iPhone Pro every year since Apple introduced it.
I don't know when it happened, but I realized I need a larger display. It's not just about seeing more content when browsing the web, reading, or video streaming. I also find it increasingly difficult to type on a 6.1-inch screen.
Another benefit of going a size larger is the bigger battery pack inside the iPhone. The Plus and Pro Max sizes easily get me well over a day of battery life. I loved that experience in the first year of using the iPhone 14 Pro, which had tremendous battery life, at least for me. I say that because I know plenty of other people were unhappy with it.
Fast-forward to mid-October, and I've been using the iPhone 16 Plus for about two weeks. I do everything with it that I used to do with the iPhone 14 Pro, but I actually dread certain things now. This made me realize how much I want that ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air that keeps popping up in rumors. I'm ready for a large phone, but I want a much thinner profile than the Plus and Pro Max.
