iPhone Air vs iPhone 17 Pro Max: The Cheaper Phone Could Be The Better Pick?
Akash Ambani was spotted using the upcoming iPhone Air during the ICC Women’s World Cup Final, opting for the model with a single-camera setup over Apple’s flagship iPhone 17 Pro Max. This choice reflects a growing view that the iPhone Air, despite its simplicity, might be a wiser choice for many users.
The iPhone 17 Air launched in India at Rs 1,19,900, while the Pro Max starts at Rs 1,49,900. Apple recently announced the AirPods Pro 3, the latest Apple Watch series, iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and the new iPhone Air.

Reasons to Choose iPhone Air
- Camera Needs: Most users do not require the advanced camera features of the iPhone 17 Pro, such as 8x telephoto zoom, ProRAW editing, or ProRes video. These are typically useful only for professionals or hobbyists.
- Everyday Photography: The iPhone Air’s single camera is more than capable of capturing quality casual photos.
- Design Preference: Some people prefer a sleek, premium-looking phone without paying for features they rarely use.
The iPhone Air offers a balanced option combining affordability and practicality, appealing to users prioritizing day-to-day usability over high-end technical features.
