| This time last year I got the new iPhone 16, which I’ve got to tell you was a complete waste of time and money compared to the 13 I’d had before. So, am I stoked the company has released an iPhone 17 and a new $999 iPhone Air? No, I am not. | However, it’s possible you might be stoked about it. Let’s find out in today’s poll below! ⬇️ | At their latest product event, Apple $AAPL ( ▼ 1.48% ) introduced a new lineup of iPhone 17 models, including the iPhone 17 Air — the company’s thinnest and most lightweight iPhone to date. The iPhone Air features a slimmed-down build while still delivering impressive performance, powered by Apple’s new A19 silicon chip. Its refined design doesn’t compromise on durability, and the device showcases an edge-to-edge display with an exceptionally narrow bezel for a more immersive viewing experience. The battery also lasts a whole 24 hours. Can you imagine? | Photography enthusiasts will enjoy the 48-megapixel, ultra-wide camera and advanced dual-lens system, making vibrant, detailed photos effortless (although, for my money, I’d prefer to shoot on film). Still, the improved front camera also enables vertical landscape selfies, eliminating the need to rotate your phone for broader shots. Meanwhile, a 256GB base storage ensures plenty of room for apps and memories. Is it better than the iPhone 13 I traded in last year? Probably a little. Do I need it? Definitely not. How about you? | It’s available for pre-order now and hitting stores on September 19. | | | Song of the day: Cut Copy, “Belong To You” |  | Cut Copy - Belong To You [Official Audio] |

| Melbourne-based electro-dance-rock veterans Cut Copy describe their new single as “written about a guy who obsesses about past mistakes without realizing that the love he’s searching for has been right in front of him all along.” It’s sort of how I feel about a nice lump of cheese quite often when I’m standing in the cheese shop. | | You should totally subscribe to this magazine | | Cheddar’s sister publication Sunset Magazine is offering N2K readers a mad discount through September, you can get a year’s subscription for almost 50% off with discount code: N2K20 | | From luxury nature getaways to expert gardening tips, each issue is packed with inspiration to elevate your home, adventures, and way of life.
