Like many of you, I watched the Apple Event on September 9 to hear all about the company's new iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro releases, as well as the iPhone 17 Air. And while the phones seem impressive — I'm curious to see how well the triple-camera setup on the Pro and Pro Max perform — the chances that I’m going to upgrade my phone for Apple’s latest model are as slim as the Air. And, it’s not because I have an iPhone 16.
Granted, I’m not one who upgrades their phone very often. My previous phone was the iPhone Xs. And my current iPhone 14 Pro is still humming along nicely. Yes, battery life isn’t what it used to be, but I can still get a full day out of the phone, and I have one of the best portable chargers if I run out of juice. I don’t play games on the phone, so I don’t really care about the screen’s refresh rate.
