When it comes to slimness, the iPhone 17 Air outshines the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. The physical comparison clearly shows that Apple's phone is much slimmer than its competitor. However, the iPhone 17 Air's battery capacity of 2,900 mAh falls short compared to the Galaxy S25 Edge's 3,900 mAh.
While the Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to get a battery upgrade to 4,300 mAh next year, the iPhone 17 Air relies on iOS 26 to optimize its battery life. For those who prioritize form over function, the iPhone 17 Air may be the preferred choice due to its slim design.
Is the iPhone 17 Air worth getting this year? Unless you are a die-hard iPhone user, it may not be the best choice. The upcoming Galaxy S26 Edge is rumored to be just as slim as the iPhone 17 Air but with a larger battery capacity. If you can wait, opting for Samsung's phone might be more beneficial in the long run.
