This comparison of iPhone models to car models by @joesteel@duck.haus is quite apt:

The image is a section of text comparing iPhones to cars in terms of features and marketing strategies. It describes the iPhone 16e as a basic model likened to an older, less equipped mid-size SUV with a poor backup camera. The iPhone 17 is likened to a mid-size SUV suitable for work and personal use, seen as a reliable choice. The iPhone Air is compared to a luxury compact electric car, which is stylish but less practical. Finally, the iPhone 17 Pro is described as a luxury full-size SUV, expensive and feature-rich, providing comfort in having extra capabilities available.
