Wh🥱 cares
This thin obsession really needs to stop.
I had the bending iphone. Had it replaced twice under warranty. Never again.
I had the bending iPhone. Used it for five years, never bent. At the time, I really wished it was slightly thinner lmao
Had the bending iPhone. It got stuck on iOS 12. Safari didn’t work. Never again.
Enough with the goddamn thinness soon that shit is gonna snap if you breathe on it
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.
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.
Because we need to keep innovating?
Actually, they’ve been getting thicker every year since the 6, believe it or not.
I’d be happier if they push for lighter devices personally. Glass feels nice, but their Pro models can be obnoxiously heavy.
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.
any phone thinner than an iPod Touch 4 is unnecessarily thin imo
they will never be as thin as Wiko Highway Pure
I’m looking for tha THICCness
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?
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.
I was even more frustrated by how bad the built in trackpad
Weird. I think Apple’s trackpad is head and shoulders better than anyone else’s.
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.
Can this trend of thin tech just end already? It’s pointless.
Yeah, I’d rather have my back panel fingerprint reader back than an even thinner phone, and then there’s the pointlessness of making the phone so thin that to have a remotely decent camera they have to add a huge bulge. Just… Make the whole damned thing that thick and use the extra space for, I dunno, more battery maybe?
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).
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.
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.
