While the so-called "iPhone 17 Air" is not expected to launch until September, there are already plenty of rumors about the ultra-thin device.
Overall, the iPhone 17 Air sounds like a mixed bag. While the device is expected to have an impressively thin and light design, rumors indicate it will have some compromises compared to iPhone 17 Pro models, including only a single rear camera, a...

This change would further blur the lines between the iPad and the Mac. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman previously claimed that iPadOS 19 will be "more like macOS," with unspecified improvements to productivity, multitasking, and app window management,...
I just grabbed the 13 inch air for my son. Perfect for his first laptop
Agree completely - picked one up for my daughter in college. Perfect for her needs and for $800, it's a great deal for an Apple laptop. The processor was bumped up in the summer of this year, so it's not like it hasn't seen updates through the years.
Serious question: what’s wrong with buying this MacBook Air mid 2017?!?
Absolutely nothing wrong with buying one if it suits your needs. But for those who don't want to buy a device knowing that there are other models with greater performance, capacity, and hardware that exist, then the Macbook Air is a non-starter.
My 2014 4GB/128GB 11" MBA is still going strong. There's something to be said for a macOS device that is slightly larger than an iPad. Sadly, the 11" MBA has been discontinued, but if I had to replace my MBA today, I would have no problem picking up the 13"... especially at $200 off.
