Will the iPhone 17 Air beat the Galaxy S25 Edge in terms of thinness?

The latest leak comes from YouTube channel Front Page Tech owner Jon Prosser, showing that Apple will bring the iPhone 17 Air an extremely impressive design in terms of thinness, which could make Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone "obsolete".

Specifically, Jon Prosser said the iPhone 17 Air will be 5.5mm thick at its thinnest point, which is just a little thicker than the current 13-inch OLED iPad Pro, which holds the record for thinnest device at 5.1mm. Even when combined with the camera lens protrusion, the iPhone 17 Air is just 5.9mm thick, which is still enough to make it the thinnest iPhone Apple has ever produced.

In addition to the thinness, the report also suggests that the iPhone 17 Air will have a new camera bar on the back, marking a design overhaul that Apple is working on. The camera bar will integrate all the necessary components, including the camera sensor with a single lens on the left, the microphone and the LED flash on the right. This suggests that Apple is taking a streamlined approach as all models are said to have a similar camera bar.

Last week, Jon Prosser also revealed the design of the iPhone 17 Pro, showing off a larger camera bar with three lenses, a LiDAR scanner, an LED flash, and a microphone. However, the reliability of this information remains in question, as the YouTuber has an inconsistent track record when it comes to providing information about unreleased Apple products.
