Why the iPhone Air Might Be My Next Upgrade
I’ve been getting by with an aging Samsung A32 as my work phone, but the time has finally come to retire it. My main device right now is the iPhone 16, and my plan is simple: upgrade to Apple’s upcoming iPhone Air as my personal phone, then shift the 16 over to work duty.
What excites me most about the rumored iPhone Air is how Apple might position it—lighter and thinner than the regular iPhone 17, but still carrying key features like the 120 Hz ProMotion display. A smoother, more fluid screen makes everything—scrolling, gaming, or just daily use—feel noticeably better. If Apple also manages to keep the design sleek while boosting display size slightly, that would be the perfect balance.
The iPhone Air could represent Apple’s sweet spot: more advanced than the base model, but not as expensive or heavy as the Pro. For someone like me who wants performance, comfort, and practicality all in one, it might just be the most compelling iPhone upgrade.
Comparing the Air to my 16 confirms this was an excellent upgrade in all the areas that I sought improvement over the 16.
