Other Samsung was the first when it comes to slim phones - what does this mean for the iPhone Air?

What do you think about the fact that Samsung released their slim phone so quickly before Apple? Personally, I don’t even remember hearing any rumors about a slim Samsung model. Did they start working on it as soon as they heard whispers about Apple’s slim design? Or is this another one of those Samsung POC favors for Apple, like with foldables?

I don’t think it really matters, since a ”true Apple user” wouldn’t buy a Samsung anyway. And honestly, it’s probably a good thing—we get to see if there are any issues with the slim design before Apple releases their own fully polished version.

I have to add - it looks stunning. If Apple’s version ends up looking just as nice, I’m genuinely excited. Finally, manufacturers are starting to make phones that are actually normal in weight and thickness again. Now if only they could get rid of that awful camera bump too. It’s nice to have options!
 
I don’t think it’ll matter. Other than being the first to make what we think of as the modern smartphone Apple has rarely been first to anything. Im excited to see the 17 Air when it comes out and the s25 Edge is pretty awesome.

Can you name a "Samsung Rumors" site where you can read/hear about Samsung leaks?
