How much thinner can Apple products get?

The iPhone 15 will probably be a brain implant.

The iPhone 15 will probably be a brain implant.

My 2 year old son will be using that (if Apple is still around)

I think in a few years it won't be about thickness anymore, there needs to be some real innovation in the smartphone design world

You guys completely ignoring all the reports of bent iPhone 5s because it's already too thin? I think it's safe to assume we won't see anything thinner.

Realistically, the absolute thinnest Apple (or any other company) could ever make their phone is the size of the 3.5mm headphone jack. Unless the standard for headphone jacks somehow changes within the next decade or so. Pretty much everyone listens to music through earbuds/headphones with 3.5mm jacks.

I was just thinking the opposite, why not eliminate the headphone jack - no one uses it anymore with Bluetooth. I'm sure a little Lightning adapter could be made for those that still want it.

Everyone uses the 3.5mm jack!

why?

why?

Could be a little awkward on the fingers if you're used to the size of the 4/4S

i had the 4 since launch day over 2 years ago without a case. bought the 5 day 1 and it feel good in your hand... not awkward at all.

I wish apple would concentrate a little less on thinner and lighter and put some time in updating iOS.

I'm pretty sure they have enough people to do both.

Now, whether they are doing it well is another story.

Nokia is working on this almost a decade now, and it's real:

I would have liked lonGer battery life and new design on the ip5. Not just thinner and longer.

 

[Lampmeister]

I don't know that they'd want to make it thinner (although they probably could), as it's comfortable to hold as is.

I really don't like it too thin. My wife just got the new iPod Touch and that is too thin for me. If I put that in my back pocket and sat, that iPod Touch will be broken.

Hopefully when the thinness fad is over, they'll go for promoting durability: "this is our most durable iPhone yet, screen never breaks and it never scuffs!" although something like that is probably still far in the future, if even a possibility

I do hope that's sarcasm
