Why? Phones have been thin enough for a long time that you have to put them in a case just to get a good grip.
I want an iPhone with a larger battery so it doesn’t have the stupid camera bulge.
Longer life and doesn’t rock when I text on a surface.
And I can repair when it breaks.
doesn’t rock when I text on a surface.
I mean, I agree with you on the battery life being desirable, but purely in terms of addressing the rocking, does putting it in a rigid case resolve that?
It makes the phone bigger without extra battery life so what’s the point?
I’ve actually never ran a case on my phones just a screen protector.
seriously
Oh I’m serious.
When Satan’s Maggoty Cum Fart says they are serious, then you better believe that Satan’s Maggoty Cum Fart is being serious and take it seriously!
Actually, they’ve been getting thicker every year since the 6, believe it or not.
Exactly. I’m still on my 11pro for this reason, already had to replace the battery. I got the 15 as a work phone, it feels very large in comparison, I’m not a fan.
Because we need to keep innovating?
Enough with the goddamn thinness soon that shit is gonna snap if you breathe on it
iPhone 6: First foldable smartphone
It already has, years ago
I want more functionality and better battery life. And guess what, thinner doesn’t help with any of those.
Make the phone half as thick, then double the battery and fill the rest with thermals.
Apple: Yes, yes, this innovation constitutes a $600 price increase.
I feel like we’re just going backwards, we stopped caring about tech getting thin enough to act like a blade like a decade ago.
Why are we doing this again?
Breaks easier, better for the company
They scored big with the M-series macbook being a little thicker and having an hdmi port, and now they want to go back?
I’m not going to buy any of those, and I don’t use a smartwatch at all, but I’d rather have a thicker laptop and phone with the extra space expended on a larger battery.
So gimmicky
I’m looking for tha THICCness
any phone thinner than an iPod Touch 4 is unnecessarily thin imo
The 13” iPad Pro M4 is thinner than the iPod Nano, making it the thinnest device Apple has ever made (except for the camera bump, but we don’t talk about that). It’s wild how thin it is, but it’s significantly lighter than its predecessor and is much nicer to hold.
But it can be that thin because it’s large enough that the battery can be spread out. I wouldn’t want a phone that thin.
Can this trend of thin tech just end already? It’s pointless.
Wh🥱 cares
I don’t want thinner. I want more functionality. Don’t expect me to pay 2 grand for a laptop with no external USB or HDMI ports, for which privileges I can pay an additional $100 or so. I’m frustrated enough by the lack of Ethernet jacks on my Lenovo. The last time I had a Mac (work shipped me one), I was even more frustrated by how bad the built in trackpad and keyboard were and the fact that using an external device to replace them came at a premium price.

HDMI is a trash standard and we should move everyone to Displayport at a minimum, or Thunderbolt. But also, all the MacBook Pros have HDMI.

Weird. I think Apple’s trackpad is head and shoulders better than anyone else’s.
You don’t say? Next they’ll say the plans also include making it faster and attempts to improve battery life.
Must be a slow news day.
I remember when all of my friends would laugh at the iPod Nano, when it released as being super thin, due to all the people accidentally sitting on them or other easy ways in which they broke.
I would prefer it if manufacturers made phones with smaller screens, so I can actually use it with one hand without some janky workaround (like right/left handed modes on Google Keyboard).
another crappy apple invented useless fashion, that will be spread everywhere, as everyone wants to follow the trends. See: curved display, micro SIM then nano SIM, no headphone jack, etc.
