In the clip, he said: “If you’re considering buying an iPhone right now you really should wait.”
Showing off the iPhone 17, Morgan continued: “Hopefully new colors with a little bit more ink, just saying or a chip may be better, battery 120 refresh rate.”
The TikToker went on to share that there might be a new version on its way known as the iPhone 17 Air which ‘supposedly it’s going to have better battery life than the 17’.
He said: “We saw it with the 16e, cutting out that camera bump allows more room for batteries, already a thin phone better give it a good battery.”
Morgan went on to say: “I’m hoping they either improve the telephoto or make it periscope or just something, I don’t know, you have all that room. There must be a reason.
“We’re also getting a 24 megapixel, I believe, front-facing camera.
“No matter what phone you're looking at or what you’re interested in, please wait.
“Even if you’re not going to get a 17, whatever phone you’re looking for right now, it’s going to be cheaper in six months. Last year was a disappointment.
“They could make it up here. I am not optimistic about Apple things very often. I am optimistic here.”
A lot of viewers took to the TikTok comment section to share their reactions to the video.
One user said: “Apple doesn’t have to give us a new phone every year honestly.”
Another wrote: “My 13 pro max still kicking like an absolute champ.”
A third commented: “But in 6 months then it’d be considered an old phone.”
A fourth said: “Gotta be honest, gonna stick with my 15pro max, iPhone don’t do anything fresh so no point me upgrading.”
A fifth wrote: “I am extremely happy with my 16e.”
And a sixth person added: “They need to slow down. I think we as consumers would be willing to wait even 5 years until they release new products with top tier perfected updates.”
