What are the expected release dates for the Galaxy S25 Edge and the iPhone 17 Air

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to be launched globally on April 16, 2025. This ultra-slim smartphone was showcased by Samsung earlier this year at the Galaxy Unpacked event and later at MWC 2025. The device is anticipated to be available in select markets starting in May, following its initial launch. The Galaxy S25 Edge is touted as the slimmest Galaxy S series phone yet, featuring a thickness of just 5.84mm and weighing around 162 grams[1][3][6].

Apple iPhone 17 Air

The Apple iPhone 17 Air is expected to be announced in September 2025, as part of Apple's annual fall iPhone event. The exact launch date is likely to be between September 11-13, 2025. The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to be an ultra-thin device, potentially replacing the iPhone Plus model in Apple's lineup. It is expected to feature a thickness between 5mm and 6.25mm, making it the thinnest iPhone to date[2][4][7].

Both devices are positioned as premium offerings with a focus on slim designs, but they are expected to hit the market at different times of the year, with the Galaxy S25 Edge arriving in spring and the iPhone 17 Air in fall.
