I wasn't going to preorder!
love in the air ❤️
Last year, I made an executive decision not to upgrade my iPhone every year as I have been for over 5 years now. The iPhone Pro has essentially been the same over the years. Yes, the camera gets better, etc etc. but certainly not worth upgrading every year.
If Apple had not stuck to their routine of just upgrading the Pro every year, I was on track to skip this year for the first time. This is because my mobile phone purchasing budget is going to be allocated to a Android foldable, maybe an iPhone foldable next year.

Last year, I switched from the Pro Max to the Pro because of the weight issue. This year, the Pro Max is even heavier. No, thank you. My power-user friends will jump on it but last year I also accepted the fact that I am not a Pro user.
Last year, I also accepted the fact that I am not a Pro user. I even bought the regular iPhone 16, but the lack of ProMotion wasn't a real deal-breaker. I gave it a real go too but cannot shake it off despite using it for 2 weeks.
Anyway, this year, Apple called my bluff and launched the iPhone Air. It's super light, super slick, and my heart wants one. It feels like ages since Apple gave us something this cool.
My plan is to pre-order the iPhone Air and, if I am happy with it, to sell my iPhone 16 Pro and call it a day.
I know it's just an iPhone. For most people, it's just an iPhone. For me, a tech nerd, I love my portable gadgets. Thats just who I am. Some people golf, other ski, some gamble, I buy a new phone every year. Glad we settled that.
For me, there is something about a mobile phone. I have always been interested, even in the Nokia days. I enjoy having a new phone every year. Thank God, I can afford it. The Good Lord has been kind. Thank you.
