During the ICC Women’s World Cup Final, Akash Ambani was seen using the iPhone Air, which features a single-camera setup, rather than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, Apple's top-tier model.
The iPhone 17 Pro stands out primarily because of its advanced cameras. However, not everyone requires features like 8x telephoto zoom, ProRAW photo editing, or ProRes RAW video recording. For casual users who take the occasional photo, the iPhone Air offers ample functionality.
The iPhone Air has effectively become Apple's most premium-looking design, replacing the Pro lineup in terms of aesthetics. Its size strikes a balance, being neither as large as the Max models nor as compact as the 6.3-inch Pro and standard iPhone 17 models.
“Akash Ambani holding it is a reminder that if you’re someone who always has access to charging points (yes, the battery life isn't the best but it can be worked with) the iPhone Air could be a great choice.”
The iPhone Air’s combination of premium design, balanced size, and advanced display features makes it a compelling option for many users.
Author’s summary: Akash Ambani’s choice of the iPhone Air over the 17 Pro Max at the ICC Final highlights the Air model’s appeal through balanced size, premium design, and solid performance suited for everyday use.
