The countdown has begun for Apple’s iPhone 17 series. This year, the brand is also expected to bring an iPhone 17 Air model. The device will feature an ultra-thin design that will beat its biggest competitor, the Galaxy S25 Edge, in terms of thinness. However, its other specs may not be as impressive.
iPhone 17 Air may be thinner than Galaxy S25 Edge
There have been numerous reports about the dimensions of the iPhone 17 Air to date. Many of them have contradicted one another, making it difficult to compare the device with Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge. Fortunately, a new video shared by FrontPageTech clears up the doubts, at least for now.
According to the source, the iPhone 17 Air model will be just 5.5mm thick, making it 0.3mm thinner than the Galaxy S25 Edge. Although the difference may seem like nothing at first, outperforming its main rival in terms of thinness could play a key role in Apple’s marketing strategy.
Of course, you should not forget that such reports are just rumors. The source has made some predictions that did not come true in the past. So, you can take it with a pinch of salt for now.
When it comes to cameras, the story changes. Apple plans to equip the iPhone 17 Air with a single 48MP lens. Meanwhile, Samsung gave the Galaxy S25 Edge a dual setup featuring a 200MP main and 12MP ultra-wide camera. It looks like Samsung might take this round.
The Apple A19 chip will power the smartphone. It will also feature 12GB of RAM and a 6.6-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Its battery will most likely offer performance equivalent to the standard iPhone 17 model.
The smartphone’s price could be similar to the iPhone 16 Plus
The source also claims that the iPhone 17 Air will cost the same as the iPhone 16 Plus. So, Apple could price it at around $899.
Leaks so far suggest that Apple will prioritize thinness in its upcoming smartphone. Of course, the key thing here will be sales figures. If the device sells well, the tech giant may bring more notable improvements to its future Air models. Finally, Apple will reportedly replace the Plus model with the iPhone 17 Air.
