2025 is seen as a challenging year for the recently launched slim and sleek smartphones, including the iPhone Air and Galaxy S25 Edge, as both Apple and Samsung face user indifference towards their bold designs.

Both the iPhone Air and Galaxy S25 Edge failed to achieve the sales expected, leading Apple and Samsung to consider canceling their successor models.
According to The Information , Apple has decided to indefinitely postpone the launch of the iPhone Air 2, while Samsung has also canceled plans to release the Galaxy S26 Edge. Previously, the Galaxy S26 Edge was expected to launch alongside the Galaxy S26 series early next year, while the second-generation iPhone Air was expected to be introduced with the iPhone 18 Pro in 2027.
The sad story of the iPhone Air and Galaxy S25 Edge.
The Galaxy S25 Edge is only 5.8 mm thick, while the iPhone Air is even thinner at 5.6 mm. However, to achieve this thinness, both companies had to sacrifice camera and battery quality. Price is also a factor driving consumers away from these products. The Galaxy S25 Edge is $200 cheaper than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, while the iPhone Air is only $100 cheaper than the iPhone 17 Pro.
iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone Air: First complaints
Despite some remaining support, sales of both the iPhone Air and Galaxy S25 Edge have been unsatisfactory. This has led Apple to reduce iPhone Air production and will cease production once inventory runs out. Reports indicate that Apple's partner Luxshare stopped iPhone Air production last month, while Foxconn did the same this month.
Despite the challenges, Samsung is still developing an ultra-thin smartphone project called "More Slim" and is reviewing its strategy. With this plan, it is hoped that Samsung will bring significant changes to ultra-thin phones in 2026.
