I like how lightweight this iPhone is, yet it has a nice sized screen. The screen is large enough to display a decent amount of information/icons/text even when using a larger than default sized text (which makes things easier on my aging eyes). The screen is very crisp and clear. Overall an elegant design. I like the "Liquid Glass" feature which (for me) maximizes the use of the phone's screen.
I traded the iPhone 17 pro max for the iPhone air. The weight of the pro max was killing my carpal tunnel. I was concerned about battery life but it delivers. I don’t notice the short-comings at all
