Well, for me a handheld device suffers if it's too thin to hold comfortably, safely. Like the iPod touch for example. Thats just way too thin for my liking. not to mention Apple keeps using very slippery materials with very little grip.

I am afraid that the iPhone 5 will probably won't be available in May.
I just want to see the damn thing so I can drool
How is it that the iPad got thicker (I know it's barely noticeable) yet the iPhone is going to be thinner? Especially when there's a 99% likelihood the new iPhone will be an LTE phone?
Every time someone asks for a thinner iPhone I direct them to use an iPod touch. I swear that thing was designed to slip from your hands.
I just tried holding my first gen iPod touch as a phone and it felt fine except for an overly sharp edge. The thickness was not a problem. Much more comfortable than my iPhone 4 without a bumper.
The iPod touch could perhaps do with a slightly textured finish for more grip, but that applies to most Apple products, especially their USB connectors.

If it weren't for the case on my iPod Touch, it would be unusable. It's too thin and too slippery. I also dislike the sharp edge of the iPod Touch and the iPad. Jonathan Ive is way more interested in how they look as opposed to how user friendly they are. It will be interesting to see if usability continues to take a back seat to design.
What he said. They made the "new iPad" imperceptibly thicker and preserved the consumer apparent battery life despite LTE. Duplicate.I just hope they dont keep making them thinner for the sake of thinness. If the LCD is thinner, i just hope they put a larger battery.
iPhones are no less slippery
I want to be able to slip my iPhone into the pocket of my shirt and not even feel its there.
One day!
I'm guessing the main benefit of this will be a further improved color gamut, contrast, and brightness since there's now one less layer for everything to pass through -- or at least that the layer is ultimately thinner.
Thickness reduction would be in fractions of a millimeter, and have no tangible effect on weight or creating volume for a larger battery.

Thinner = More Cracked Screens?
Thinner in general seems good, but isn't this moving the opposite direction as other phones move to Gorilla Glass?
