Yeah the ones who designed the IPad Pro M4Is anyone asking for thinner phones?
I mean, the whole phone is Pixel-ized.Is the source Japanese? I see all the fun bits pixelized
Not the first phone to do that. That design element reminds me of the Droid Razr all the way back from 2011.I hate how much that makes sense:
They'll promote it as "thinnest iPhone ever" because that's what the middle and lower parts of the chassis/body will actually be.
But then to get all the front-facing cameras and Face ID components and rear-facing cameras to fit this "thinnest ever iPhone", the measurements on the top part be just as thick or thicker than on any previous iPhone.
"Thinnest iPhone ever. Thickest iPhone camera bump ever. iPhone 17 Air."
Oh, I hate this idea. Hate it, hate it, hate it. 🥲
Yeah. I don't get it.Is anyone asking for thinner phones?
If anything the camera bump will be much bigger… obviouslyI was really hoping the iPhone 17 Air/Slim/Thin would be the thinnest they could make it..... without a camera bump.

Brain drain is real- and all the remaining folks do is remix what came before. IF this is true, and that's a big IF, it would further solidify that notion. Surely Apple isnt so down on their luck that they cribbed from Pixel. I'll swap one of my two remaining 16 Pro Max out for a OnePlus instead if this is their brilliant ideaMight as well just stick a Google logo on the back. Any kind of design imagination left Apple years ago.
Thinness will be followed by foldability ?

Nothing will be uglier than the antenna lines on the 6 and 6SIn case it’s not obvious, these are two different sizes. So it’s not just the iPhone Air. I’m not generally against the bar design, but these look quite ugly.
The iPhone 16 Pro (non-Max) is 60% larger than the iPhone 4 in terms of area. Much more in terms of screen* area. Also, I remember how great the iPhone 5 felt compared to the iPhone 4. Thinness and lightness make a difference.Yeah. I don't get it.
My first iPhone was the iPhone 4. I was a happy PocketPC/Windows Mobile user prior to that and though I owned a lot of Apple products, I didn't see what the iPhone/3G/3GS did that my phones didn't already do.
But by the iPhone 4, the OS had been refined, the App store was a real phenomenon, and of course; the retina display and the incredible design that made my plastic HP iPaq feel more like a toy instead of a business tool.
I never felt that iPhone was too thick. I still own it, and once in a while it comes out of the drawer and I mess with it. And it still doesn't feel too thick. It just feels like all the compromises that come with crazy thin phones (smaller batteries, etc.) just don't seem worth it at all.
