- New photos show a failed iPhone 17 unit next to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge
- Apple’s phone looks much thinner than that of Samsung
- However, his camera seems to exceed
It seems that we will see a battle of super thin smartphones this year, as not long ago, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge it was launched, and we expect the air of the iPhone 17 very soon – a phone that could be even thinner.
The advisers have not yet settled in exactly how thick the upcoming phone will be, with various sources that put it between 5.0 mm and 6.0 mm. But most of the recent leaks positions it somewhere in the middle of these figures, with 5.44 mm, 5.5 mm and 5.65 mm having been proposed by separate sources.
If the air of the iPhone 17 arrives at one of these rumor thicknesses, it will be thinner than the Galaxy S25 edge, and although a difference of about 0.15 mm – 0.35 mm may not seem much, a disclosed photo suggests that the difference in thickness between these two phones could be really visible.

Shared by @Theonecid, the photos above show a Samsung Galaxy S25 edge alongside what is probably a failed iPhone 17 unit, and you can see that the latter seems much thinner.
That said, it also seems that the lens of the camera of the iPhone 17 Air could remain a little further than that of Samsung, so at the widest point, it may not be much thinner. However, in relation to the air of the iPhone 17, the air is impressive here.
Come with compromises
Of course, there are inevitably compromises with such a thin phone, the largest rumor being a single camera lens on the back. The Galaxy S25 edge has two and the standard The iPhone 17 should also have two.
Beyond that, it is also likely that the iPhone 17 air will have a small battery, so you may have to sacrifice a lot if you choose the thiniest phone in Apple.
But the options are good. If you want something slightly thicker, there is the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, and if you don’t care about thin phones at all, there are all kinds of other devices from which choose – including the rest of the iPhone 17 line, all that we expect to launch in early September.
