Samsung has paved the way with the introduction of its pioneering ultra-thin AI smartphone, the Galaxy S25 Edge. Now, whispers in the tech world suggest that Apple will follow suit in September with the unveiling of its ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air, aiming to capture a slice of the ultra-thin smartphone market. This strategic move by the two titans is anticipated to ignite a fresh surge of consumer enthusiasm for sleek devices, fueling optimism within the industry that it will bolster the fortunes of supply chain heavyweights such as Hon Hai, TSMC, Largan Precision, Merry, TXC, and Win Semiconductors. The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to boast an impressively slender 5.5mm profile, powered by the cutting-edge A19 chip, a high-resolution 48MP main camera, and an innovative silicon-carbon battery, all emphasizing both aesthetic appeal and portability. In contrast, the Galaxy S25 Edge shines with its high-performance Snapdragon 8 Elite processor (in its high-frequency variant) and an ultra-narrow, four-sided bezel-less display design. These ultra-thin offerings from both brands promise to enrich consumers' choices and propel mobile technology forward.
