But in fact, it's the iPhone Air that's seemingly the weak link in this year's lineup, according to analysts at Morgan Stanley (via MacRumors). The firm claims that current demand for the iPhone 17 series as a whole has been "modestly stronger than we originally expected," based on a combination of information gathered from Apple's supply chain and the shipping date estimates on Apple's online store. However, while the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max are seemingly in high demand, there's apparently "relative weakness" in demand…...
