Overview

• Hands-on reviews highlight the iPhone Air’s 5.6mm, 165g design and 6.5-inch LTPO 120Hz display, pairing an A19 Pro chip and 12GB RAM with a single 48MP rear camera and a 3,149mAh battery.
• GSMArena’s testing places the Air among top performers with efficient thermals versus the Galaxy S25 Edge, though its mono speaker and only decent battery life draw criticism.
• Reviewers frame the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max as better fits for heavy users thanks to stronger sustained performance and more versatile cameras, with the Pro Max keeping a 48MP main and 4x telephoto lens.
• Consensus on the base iPhone 17 is that it offers better value than prior entry models with doubled storage, a brighter anti-glare screen and improved battery life, but it can run hot during intensive gaming.
• In India, Zepto lists the iPhone 17 at Rs 78,079 with an additional Rs 250 card offer to Rs 77,829, marking the first notable post-launch price cut reported for the model.
