Apple is back with a new iPhone that is incredibly slender. It’s called the Air, and it will arrive in stores later next week. This device measures in at just 5.6mm thick, making it the thinnest iPhone Apple has ever made. Along with its sleek look, it also gets an impressive A19 Pro processor, huge 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display, and it’s covered in tough Ceramic Shield 2 glass.
Apple is also promising all-day battery life and a design that is built to last, thanks to a frame made from strong Titanium. Other extras include a smart rear camera, MagSafe charging and full access to speedy Wi-Fi 6 download speeds.
The iPhone Air starts from £999 and will be available to pre-order tomorrow, Friday, September 12. It will hit stores on Friday, September 19.
It looks impressive, but Samsung is hoping its latest price update might convince some to switch to Android instead.
The Korean company first unveiled its S25 Edge all the way back in January with it then going on sale during the summer. This call maker is also incredibly skinny with it measuring in at just 5.8mm thick.
Other features on the Edge include a dual-lens camera, fast Snapdragon 8 Elite processor from Qualcomm and a 6.7-inch screen.
At launch, the Edge was more expensive than Apple’s upcoming Air with it priced at a whopping £1,099 for the 256GB version and £1,199 for the bigger 512GB model.
Now, an update to the price has just made the Egde a whole lot more affordable. In fact, there is a whopping £200 off on Samsung’s website right now.
That drops things to just £899 – £100 less than the Air.
Another bonus of buying the Edge is that Samsung is currently offering a free laptop – worth £399 – when ordering this slimline smartphone.
