Phone Reviews
Mar 5, 2026
The iPhone 17 Air is a design flex: a 5.64 mm ultra-thin iPhone with a gorgeous 6.6-inch Super Retina XDR OLED and A19-class speed. But RF-conscious buyers should pause—its hotspot and simultaneous SAR readings sit essentially at the FCC’s 1.6 W/kg ceiling. It’s a strong phone that demands safer-use discipline.
iPhone 16 vs 16e vs 16 Plus vs 16 Pro Max: which 2024–2025 iPhone actually fits your life?

Phone Comparisons
Four iPhones, one iOS experience—very different daily trade-offs. The 16e is the budget A18 entry with real compromises (single camera, basic Qi charging). The 16 and 16 Plus are the balanced picks with MagSafe/Qi2 and an ultrawide camera. The 16 Pro Max is the creator’s choice with 120Hz, 5x zoom, and faster USB-C.
