Apple’s iPhone Air is easily its most exciting and polarizing phone in years. Compared to the iPhone 17 (8mm) and iPhone 17 Pro Max (8.75mm), the 5.6mm iPhone Air feels wafer-thin, and its light and balanced design is comfortable and pleasant to hold for hours on end. It’s not hard to see that this is a stepping stone to the upcoming folding iPhone, and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman confirmed as much in his latest Power On newsletter: “As for how the foldable iPhone will look, I am increasingly told that users should imagine two titanium iPhone Airs side-by-side. Additionally, the folding iPhone is expected to eliminate Face ID, which could also result in some saved space. Apple is expected to launch its folding phone next September at the 2026 iPhone event.
