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.

This means less battery life (or security margins) and or less powerful cpu.

So next time you drop it it's not only the display breaking?

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).

Can this trend of thin tech just end already? It’s pointless.

billwashere ,

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.

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.

iPhones have been getting thicker year over year since the 11. The 15 is the largest jump in thickness over that period, too. It’s actually pretty reasonable that Apple would seek to return to at least the last prior model’s form factor.

cmnybo ,

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.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

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.

bdonvr ,

Actually, they've been getting thicker every year since the 6, believe it or not.

DolphinMath ,

I’d be happier if they push for lighter devices personally. Glass feels nice, but their Pro models can be obnoxiously heavy.
