iPhone 17 Air may struggle to attract buyers

A new survey shows that the upcoming iPhone 17 Air might not sell as well as Apple hopes. The survey, conducted with 3,500 current iPhone users, reveals important insights about potential buyers. Only 7.3% of participants who own an iPhone 15 or older plan to upgrade to the new iPhone 16e model. This means that a large majority, 92.7%, do not intend to make the switch. The main reasons for this decision include the lack of multiple rear cameras and a preference for higher-end models. These concerns are similar to what users might feel about the iPhone 17 Air. The new model will also not have extra rear cameras and won't be considered the top option from Apple. While this may affect its appeal, Apple may prefer that customers buy the more expensive iPhone 17 Pro instead. Overall, the survey indicates that Apple faces challenges with the iPhone 17 Air. It highlights what features are important to consumers when considering an upgrade.
