The iPhone 17 is rumored to be a strong competitor to the Pixel 10.
The iPhone 17 will be for users who can't hear another word about AI.

The iPhone 17 Air shows Apple is willing to take risks.
The iPhone 17 Air might not be worth purchasing if you don't value a thinner design. The phone is expected to have weaker battery and camera performance.
However, the model is important as it highlights Apple's desire to appeal to a niche market. Future iPhone Air models could improve to the point where they are recommended by most people.
Instead of releasing standard and Plus models like Google, Apple is trying something different.
Hardware is most important
AI is now essential. People are very protective of their AI chatbot history. Even with skepticism surrounding AI, people depend on these tools.
AI has not greatly impacted smartphone use. Google's new features seem promising, but may not have lasting appeal.
Alternatively, the iPhone 17 will offer reliable hardware that meets your needs throughout its software lifespan. This makes it a worthwhile upgrade.
