as soon as you said "5-6mm thin" JerryRig's hands started twitching.

[wabash]

I don't want a thinner phone. I want a thicker phone with a better battery and no damn camera bump.

[jmtradbr]

Nothing more premium than a mono speaker.

Who wants to take bets that the iPhone Air will repeat Bendgate?

[GarbanzoBeansFan]

"our current phones are too thick" said no one ever

[sturdybutter]

I hate the aesthetic trend of making electronics thin. Give me an iPhone that’s like an inch thick and can go 3 days without charging. Fuck it.

[curesafaia]

The thickness of a phone includes the camera bump. You can't change my mind.
Also this may cause the phone to either bend or break easily, this is going to be interesting to watch.

Does anyone actually care about a 1mm difference in phone thickness? I have yet to meet someone say "the phone is too thick for me" I have heard "the camera hump is too big" So why not just keep the features like a sim card slot and headphone jack, give us a larger battery, and remove the camera hump? Phone manufacturers just keep backing themselves into these corners where now the next year it will have to be thinner and more powerful but all they will be able to cut is battery capacity. Its stupid and I hate that apple is the industry leader so everyone copies them on physical design while apple copies everyone else on software design.

Oh no, I hope apple doesn't remove the headphone jack!!!

[cyko]

companies : makes phone thinner

customers: * instantly adds a phone cover on purchase *

[Gurenn]

The thinner it is, the less battery it has. Simple as that.

[Danominator]

They'll remove the phone part next, probably

[iFix.]

And here I am wanting a THICKER iPhone with no camera bump, force touch and a huge ass battery

[ILoveTinfoilHats]

7 billion pounds? That's a really heavy lawsuit

Apple is all about minimalism. Minimal phone width, minimal ports, minimal battery life, minimal functionality, minimal compatibility, minimal barriers between them and your wallet.

7:45 the benefit of a cpu, gpu, etc is that the hardware and firmware are optimized for their specific tasks. So a unified solution would be able to do everything - but worse.

[RobCarter]

Small correct: the SIM-less iPhones are in the US only. Canada still gets the SIM tray version.

[RileyGee]

The idea of a thinner phone worries me about structural rigidity. Having a phone that's at least 7 to 8mm gives you some confidence it won't bend in your pocket.

[vikram]

People who buy the latest iphones are the same people who've convinced themselves that they need starbucks every morning.

[xdxangeloxbx]

I think people simply want better battery life, no notch and no camera bumps.
