100%.... $840 for a thin phone with a gimped camera, gimped battery, gimped speakers and gimped thermals? Apple cutting its production from lack of consumer interest tells you everything you need to know.

It's not for everyone. It definitely has trade-offs, but day to day I can live with them to have such a slim, easy to hold phone. The 2nd gen will allegedly have a second camera and better battery. I do travel with an older 14 Pro Max for when I need a good camera and better battery. It feels like night and day when I switch back to my Air.
Apple already hiked the prices of a bunch of their devices like a couple weeks ago because of the memory shortage caused by AI servers. iPhones remained the same, but there's a chance something will change soon.
there are probably enough iPhone 17/pro/air in apple's warehouse to last until iPhone 18 launch in september.
But yeah iPhone 18 is definitely going to be more expensive.
From what I am seeing, with the iPhone Air you gain a better CPU and a bigger screen vs. iPhone 17 but settle down for a single camera. Is this correct?

Also I would not wait for iPhone 18 if you are buying unlocked. Carriers will subsidize anyway but unlocked ones you are likely to pay 200+ more.
