Apple plans to add an ultra-thin model to the iPhone 17 series next year. Apple’s new model will be called the iPhone 17 Air and is said to be the thinnest device in the series. However, Apple will not be alone in this field. Samsung has also focused on thinness and lightness when designing the Galaxy S25 Ultra model. So, who will be the winner of this race?

Who will win the thinness race between the iPhone 17 Air and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra?

According to leaks, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be thinner and lighter than other “Ultra” flagship phones on the market. This move by Samsung could complicate Apple’s efforts to compete with the iPhone 17 Air. The Galaxy S25 Ultra will have rounder corners and a narrower structure. It’s a known fact that rounded corners make a phone look thinner.

This is said to make the phone more comfortable to hold in your hand. It is also stated that Samsung has focused on thinness in other models such as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim. In other words, the company is generally following a strategy to produce thinner devices.

The iPhone 17 Air may also push the boundaries in terms of thinness, but this may require Apple to make some sacrifices. We may encounter a model with a low battery capacity. Samsung, on the other hand, may challenge Apple’s leadership in this area when it launches the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This thinness race between the two companies seems to start a new wave of competition in the smartphone market.

So, why do you think it is so important for a phone to be very thin? Is it possible that there is no other feature left to compete with besides thinness? What advantages or disadvantages can ultra-thin phones offer in terms of performance and durability? You can write your opinions in the comments section below.
