Worth-it verdict
Is Apple iPhone Air worth buying?
ShortlistWait for 10% offTarget $899
Check whether iOS, iMessage, Apple Watch, and Mac continuity matter more than Android customization. Still early enough to buy without major release-age concern. Good product, but the buying case gets meaningfully stronger with a modest discount.
