Next year's iPhone 17 decision will be harder than ever for users like me

The decision of which iPhone model to purchase next year will be harder than ever, particularly with the introduction of an ultra-thin 'iPhone 17 Air' model to sit alongside the regular Pro and Max versions. The Air is expected to have a form factor even thinner than the already-svelte Pro models, plus a display size between the Pro and Pro Max. This model is likely to gain popularity for its futuristic appearance rather than its capabilities - since it will only come with one rear camera (no telephoto), have a very expensive price point, and possibly reduce battery life. It sounds like a compromise too far for power users who typically buy Apple's Pro handsets.
