Apple iPhone 17 Air could out-slim Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge at just 5.5mm: Report
As Apple gears up for its anticipated September launch event, new details have emerged about what could be its thinnest handset to date — the iPhone 17 Air. Expected to be unveiled alongside the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, this new addition is believed to replace the current iPhone 16 Plus and offer a radically slimmer form factor. According to a report shared by well-known South Korean tipster Yeux1122 via Naver, the iPhone 17 Air may feature a mere 5.5mm thickness, making it even slimmer than Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge, which is said to be 5.8mm thick. If true, this would make the iPhone 17 Air the slimmest iPhone Apple has ever produced. The device is also rumoured to weigh around 145 grams, offering users a lighter, more pocket-friendly design. The tipster, citing Taiwanese supply chain sources, suggests the iPhone 17 Air will carry a 2,800mAh battery — a noticeable step down compared to current models. For context, the iPhone 16 reportedly has a 3,561mAh battery, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max is equipped with a 4,685mAh cell. Even the newly leaked iPhone 16e is expected to house a 3,961mAh unit. Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge, meanwhile, is said to offer a 3,900mAh battery. Despite the smaller capacity, Apple is reportedly turning to high-density battery technology and possibly even silicon-anode cells to make up for the reduced size. These advanced cells could provide a 15 per cent to 20 per cent improvement in energy density, potentially bridging the gap in battery life without compromising on the sleek form factor. Apple may also introduce an accessory — possibly resembling a snap-on battery case — to further address user concerns around endurance. Leaks suggest the iPhone 17 Air will likely sport a 6.6-inch OLED display, featuring a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. On the camera front, a single 48MP sensor is expected at the rear, complemented by a 24MP front-facing camera for high-quality selfies and video calls. Under the hood, the handset could be powered by either the A18 or A19 chip, depending on Apple's final configuration — both expected to deliver robust performance and energy efficiency gains. With its slim profile and premium components, the iPhone 17 Air is tipped to carry a price tag of $1,299 (around ₹ 1,09,500).

Foldable iPhone may debut with Samsung tech – that Samsung itself hasn't dared to use
A new rumor says the foldable iPhone may use a unique display panel from Samsung that Samsung itself hasn't used yet on its foldable devices. Rumors about the upcoming iPhone Fold are now starting to come up more and more from the Internet's dark corners. A new rumor now says Apple is planning to use a new, thinner display panel in the foldable iPhone 's construction, something that the supplier, Samsung, has not used on its devices itself. Understandably, the display of a foldable phone is the most important component. On top of that, Apple has some serious ambitions when it comes to this iPhone, including a rumored plan to obliterate the display crease plaguing every foldable phone today completely. It seems that this elusive iPhone's display may be very different from the ones used in other foldable phones on the market. Naver leaker "Yeux1122" now says that the Cupertino giant may be using a display that has been manufactured differently than other folding phones. Samsung has not, reportedly, used this process on its own foldables yet. According to the leaker (who has a mixed track record with some wins and some losses when it comes to reliable leaks), the key change to the display panel is related to the touch sensor. Reportedly, it will be integrated into the display. Right now, other foldable displays have the touch sensor as a separate layer, but according to the tipster, the foldable iPhone will have it in one panel. A leaked render of Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7. | Image Credit - OnLeaks and Android Headlines As a result, there may be a reduction of thickness by approximately 19% in comparison to the panel used in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold models. This would also make Apple's device lighter. Meanwhile, the leaker also hints that the rumored reduced thickness in the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 is due to the transitional period for developing Apple's display tech. This internal display configuration may be due to Apple being demanding and having high requirements instead of simply accepting existing, conventional technology. Reportedly, the new component is meeting Apple's demands when it comes to thickness, power-to-weight, brightness, and other requirements. But that's not all. Apparently, the color reproduction and brightness of the display panel have reportedly been improved by the new process as well. And yep, this includes higher peak brightness levels, allegedly.

Nevertheless, knowing Apple and its high demands, it could be very well true or close to the truth that Apple is looking for something that hasn't been done before when it comes to foldable displays. The tipster has previously stated that the internal screen of the phone may measure 7.76 inches with a 2,713 by 1,920 resolution. The cover display is said to be a 5.49-inch one with a 2,088 by 1,422 also previously stated that there may be an under-display camera for the folding screen and a visible punch hole camera outside. The resolution and size rumors have also been heard from other leakers, which gives some level of credibility to this information. Reports indicate Samsung may be the only supplier for foldable display panels for the foldable iPhone . Reportedly, Apple has also considered LG, but it seems it chose Samsung only this time. Meanwhile, the foldable iPhone may be an expensive phone, with potential prices ranging between $2,100 and $2,300. Right now, rumors (including from reputable sources like Ming-Chi Kuo) indicate the foldable iPhone may be officially announced sometime in late 2026. It's possible that the phone may come in early 2027 as well. Apple's first foldable iPhone may revolutionize the foldable phone market, according to some estimations. The situation right now with foldables is curious: they are not experiencing huge growth, but things are moving. We have Huawei introducing now a tri-fold device, Samsung also reportedly working on one, while companies like Oppo and Honor are aiming to make super-thin foldables. Something Samsung is said to also be working on, and it could happen earlier than expected, with the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 .

iPhone 17 Ultra just tipped to replace Pro Max in new leak — with these key upgrades
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. If rumors are to be believed, the launch of the iPhone 17 is going to see some of the biggest changes to Apple's smartphones in years. On the Korean blogging platform Naver, the regular leaker yeux1122 shared a big post about the iPhone Pro Max, which might get replaced by the a more high-end iPhone 17 Ultra. An iPhone Ultra isn't exactly a new rumor, though it is for the iPhone 17 series. Before the launch of iPhone 16 last September, a number of rumors circulated that Apple had a super-premium iPhone in the works that would sit above the Pro Max. Alas, it was not to be. Yeux1122 speculates that Apple is trying to rebrand its main lineup thanks to the introduction of the new e-lineup with the iPhone 16e. This rebranding would include killing off the Plus in favor of the much rumored iPhone 17 Air and now swapping the Pro Max for the Ultra. They also claim the Air will have a different name than the iPhone 17 Air, though what this name might be was not provided. Here's what the lineup could look like come the fall: iPhone 17 iPhone 17 Air iPhone 17 Pro iPhone 17 Ultra This is the first time we've come across mention of an Ultra model this cycle with most rumors sticking with the Pro Max branding. Even renderings and dummy models that gave us our first look at the lineup are still the iPhone 17 Pro Max. We're taking this bit with a spoonful of salt. That said, if the Ultra is coming, yeux1122 also claims the high-end model will have several exclusive features that won't be on the other iPhone 17 handsets. Recently it was rumored that the iPhone 17 Pro Max would be thicker than the iPhone 16 Pro Max in order to hold a larger battery. Yeux1122 seems to believe that this larger battery will actually go in the Ultra variant. How much larger was not specified. According to supply chain analysts and parts suppliers, says Yeux1122, the Ultra will get a smaller dynamic island. Apparently, there were not enough parts ordered to supply other models. "Component supply orders suggest that there aren't enough parts to extend this feature to the Pro model," they wrote (machine translated). Apparently, the Ultra model will get a cooling system that the other phones won't feature. The Pro models were just tipped to receive this system by leaker Instant Digital. It could make the phone last longer as it's able to keep cool longer. If you're unfamiliar with vapor chamber cooling, my colleague, Josh Render, who used to be a phone engineer has an explainer here. According to the report, Apple wants the entire lineup to be differentiated from the existing iPhone 16 series as well as the new e-series, which seems like it will be annual. "Apple is attempting a new change in marketing and sales by making a major design change to the existing iPhone and changing iOS 19," they wrote. They also said the foldable iPhone is expected in 2026 and that Apple is looking ahead to organize branding before that phone becomes part of the lineup. Assuming Apple keeps it usual schedule, we should see the Ultra arrive in September with the rest of the iPhone 17 models.

Apple is rumored to have taken another key step towards making a foldable iPhone
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The folding iPhone is apparently another step closer Apple may be about to choose a display supplier Previously Apple had struggled to find a satisfactory display Apple hasn't officially said there's a folding iPhone on the way, but the number of leaks we've come across about such a device make it very likely that it's in development – and there's another rumor to report on today. Well-known tipster Yeux1122 (via MacRumors) says that Apple is now close to deciding on a manufacturing partner to produce the folding displays for the folding iPhone. That's based on information from sources in Apple's supply chain. There's not too much more information here, but there is a suggestion that some parts suppliers are now getting close to the standard required by Apple in terms of the folding display and the mechanisms that underpin it. Previously, we have heard that the foldable iPhone project was on the verge of being cancelled, because Apple couldn't get a bending screen it was happy with. It would seem those obstacles may now have been overcome. There have been plenty of earlier rumors around a folding iPhone. Back in November, we got news that the device had gone past the concept stage and was actively being worked on as a physical product that would ship to consumers. More recently, we've heard talk that the folding iPhone would have a 7.6-7.9-inch main display and a smaller 5.3-5.5 inch cover screen. The same source predicted a launch window sometime in 2026 for this long-awaited smartphone. Other predictions had suggested 2025 could be the year of the foldable phone from Apple, but as we're now into February that seems less likely. Exactly what style of foldable we'll get – book-style or flip-style – remains to be seen. While Apple hasn't yet launched a folding iPhone, the foldable market has seen plenty of new and high-end devices appear over the last 12 months – including the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6.
