Poll Of the Week

Would a 2mm thinner iPhone 17 Air be enough to convince you to upgrade?

Apple is reportedly working on the iPhone 17 Air, a new model that could be the thinnest iPhone yet—2mm slimmer than current versions. Along with a sleek new design, it may also introduce Apple’s first in-house modem and possibly eliminate the charging port entirely.
