Ultra-Thin iPhone 17 Air: Overpriced? How Do You View?

The biggest highlight of this $Apple(AAPL)$ event was the debut of the brand-new ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air, alongside the fully upgraded iPhone 17 Pro series and the new iOS 26.

However, since many product details had already been leaked before the launch, the market reaction was muted. During the event, Apple’s stock price fell, closing down 1.48%.

Would you consider switching to the iPhone 17 Air?

It features an ultra-thin body, minimalist design, and a sleek look! But some people argue that its specs are too weak—basically just an updated version of the previous SE—yet the starting price is as high as $799.

Could the price drop significantly later? After all, the Air is positioned like the old Plus version, which historically tends to see the steepest discounts. Maybe it’s worth waiting for a price cut?

On top of that, netizens joked that Taylor Swift once again nailed the new iPhone color prediction 😂. Will Swifties jump in and upgrade their phones because of her? Taylor’s economic influence is undeniable, but this marketing connection feels a bit forced.

Interestingly, in recent years, the main color themes of Taylor Swift’s albums have closely matched the official colors of new iPhones released in the same year—and her album colors always came out before the iPhones.

So, what’s your take on the new iPhone 17 lineup?

AWS Boom Sends Amazon Flying! Time to Chase AMZN or AAPL?
Amazon jumped more than 13% after Q3 exceeded expectations, along with strong growth in its cloud-computing unit. AWS revenue accelerated 20.2% to $33 billion, which CEO Andy Jassy said was a pace it hadn’t seen since 2022. Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook on Thursday gave a forecast for holiday quarter iPhone sales and overall revenue that beat Wall Street expectations, powered by orders for iPhone 17 models that the company is racing to fulfill amid continuing supply constraints. Is there chance to chase Amazon and Apple?

    📱 iPhone 17: For When Your Wallet’s Too Full

    Why fix your life when you can fixate on a phone that’s 0.2mm thinner? It’s got a camera that sees your regret, AI that whispers “treat yourself,” and a price tag that says “I skipped rent for this.” 

    Because clearly, what you needed most was Mystic Titanium.
