Right now, I’m grateful for anything that offers even a small reprieve from the ever-dominant conversation about AI on smartphones, but I hate to burst Apple and Samsung’s bubble: this slim phone fad will never take off.
Just in case you’re wondering what the heck I’m talking about, both Apple and Samsung are going big on new phone models this year that prioritize slimness above all else. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is no longer just a rumor, and while the iPhone 17 Air is still being kept behind closed doors, its announcement is a shoo-in for this year's iteration of Apple’s September product showcase.
