After over four years of using an iPhone 12 Pro Max, Apple’s thinner and lighter iPhone Air sounded like a refreshing change. The phone’s promise of providing the same Apple-exclusive perks, like iMessage and FaceTime, while being more pocket-friendly, really appealed to me.
The problem: $1,000 is simply too much for me to put towards a phone right now. Plus, my existing T-Mobile plan has a low monthly price and is no longer eligible for those larger “get a phone on us” deals because it’s so old.
