I've tested every iPhone 17 model, and I'm recommending something different this time


With Apple's big upgrade to the base iPhone 17, its redesign of the two Pro models, and the launch of iPhone Air, this might be the toughest year ever to pick the right device for you. But I've got recommendations.

Likewise, the iPhone 17's two biggest Android competitors, the Pixel 10 and the Samsung Galaxy S25 still start with 128GB of storage on their base models and both cost $799. But if you're someone who loves to live on the cutting edge of tech and run ahead of the pack, you're probably going to be pretty giddy when you put your hands on the iPhone Air. I need to do a lot of testing over weeks and months, but I'm very encouraged that the iPhone 17 Pro Max addresses the overheating issue head-on in its design.
