"I've been in the Apple ecosystem for more than a decade because my work computer is a Mac and having my phone and Watch all work together is both practical and helpful. Yes, that's the definition of the Apple moat. But I wouldn't consider myself a fangirl. For the record, my personal computer - meaning the one I bought myself for non-job-related uses - is an HP Spectre on Windows. And I love it."
"But as I dive into the specs, the iPhone 17 looks like a better deal. In the Air's favor, it has a 6.5-inch screen, compared to the 17's 6.3-inch, yet is lighter to hold. It also has the A19 Pro chip, rather than A19 chip. But oddly, this isn't the same Pro chip that's in the Pro phone. It has a 6-core CPU with a 5-core GPU. That's similar to the A19 in the 17. (The Pro model has a 6-core CPU and 6-core GPU.)"
The user has relied on Apple devices for more than a decade because a work Mac plus an iPhone and Watch provide seamless interoperability. The current phone is an iPhone 13 with aging battery and touchscreen and lacks the chip needed for Apple Intelligence features, prompting an upgrade. The iPhone Air initially appealed with a 6.5-inch screen, lighter weight, and an A19 Pro chip, and costs about $200 more than the iPhone 17. Detailed chip comparisons show the Air's A19 Pro has a 6-core CPU and 5-core GPU, similar to the A19 in the 17, while the Pro model adds a 6-core GPU. Battery life favors the iPhone 17, making it a stronger value proposition.
