I'm Completely Blind And Only Care about Apple Intelligence. Should I Upgrade to the iPhone Air?

For context, I'm currently using an iPhone 14 Pro, and I think it's finally time for me to think about biting the bullet and upgrading. For starters, my 14 Pro currently sits at 73% maximum battery capacity. To add insult to injury, Apple just announced a whole bunch of AI upgrades that sound incredibly useful, and they've rebuilt Siri into a competent assistant... but I'm still locked out. In 2026, getting a generic "I found this on the web" response is a total letdown. The only thing I really care about is having 12GB RAM so I won't be hardware-gated out if Apple decides to push more upgrades. I really couldn't give a fart about the cameras. I know the Air only has the earpiece speaker but I've heard other blind friends in my area tell me that it's still decent. I also have aa pair of AirPods Pro 2. So my question is: If I traded in my 14 Pro and got the Air, what might I need to know? For iPhone Air users, how has your experience been? Am I rushing into this and missing out on some benefit of the Pro phone?
