“AirPods Pro 3, the new Apple Watch lineup, iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and the all-new iPhone Air—here’s everything we just announced!” — Tim Cook, September 9, 2025
Practicality and Features
The iPhone Air suits everyday use because most people do not require the advanced photography features of the iPhone 17 Pro. Complex options such as 8x telephoto zoom, ProRAW editing, and ProRes video are mainly beneficial for professionals or enthusiasts, rather than casual photographers. For everyday photos, the Air’s single camera performs adequately.
Design Considerations
Design also plays a key role in choice. Some users prioritize a sleek, premium-looking phone and prefer simplicity over extra functionalities they might never utilize.
