Its not the thinness that causes it to be slippy, its the sheer size, its ridiculous and has a poor chose of back material. I can't believe you're blaming the slippyness of a monstrously sized portable device on its thinness.

'iPhone 7' Thickness Likely to Approach iPod Touch

Finally! I really hope Apple will do this while also not improving battery life! Can't wait to stay on the same battery life since several years back despite miniaturization advances. I'm sure you can count on Apple.
I don't think that matters to Apple anymore . they're just looking at the iPhone to power the Watch and stream Apple Music . everything else will become secondary.
Thinner, thinner....
Could they counterweight the bottom of the iPhone? Seriously. I have the 6+. Half the time, it feels like it's going to fall out of my hand because it feels top heavy in distribution. It could be the exact same weight from top to bottom, but if there were a little more substantial weight at the bottom, it would help in holding it.

Crappy design philosophy - especially for tech.
It all makes sense now!
They had to make the 6S thicker, so that they could announce that 7 is ___% thinner than iPhone 6S.
Smart move.

Wait, so according to these clowns this years phone is slightly thicker to accommodate force touch but next years phone will be thinner and still accommodate force touch? Do they have any clue what they're talking about?
I'm glad to hear that because the iPhone 6 is way too thick. It's a brick.
"iPhone to continue trend of becoming thinner on every tick cycle while retaining newly introduced technology".
I could have made that prediction a year ago!

Hey Schiller? This is called sarcasm. For the love of God make battery life on iPhone a bigger priority.
[ Screen thickness ]
[ Electronics thickness]
[ Battery Thickness ] <----
[ Case thickness ]
(not to scale)
So, if the battery is 1/4 the thickness of the entire phone thickness, and that 10% is total phone thickness increase, plus the battery has its own extraneous components (say, 2% of the entire phone thickness is the battery casing), so 10% of the thickness added to the battery internals (which constitute, in this example, 23% of the phone's thickness) would be an almost doubling of the battery capacity, if the thickness of the battery was correlated to the charge capacity.
Ahh, but would you use it without a case if you could?
Many don't. I do. Safety be gone, it looks and feels a thousand times better
And still 99c per month iCloud penny pinching.
'But, but, Apple's profit. But but...' But nothing, if people give Apple €899 for a phone they shouldn't be asking for an additional €12 per year indefinitely for photo storage. At the very least give 25GB of free iCloud storage. Flickr give 1TB and don't make more money than the U.S. Government selling hardware.
You can do better, Apple.
How much is this person paid to "predict" these things? Average users could have predicted this much.
Can we please wait 6 months until we start talking about the iPhone 7? Let's see how the markets react to the iPhone 6s.
Probably can't double it, but you can do much better than 10% -- the battery isn't 100% of the volume of the phone.
Especially for something that is still in the design phase, and not in firm configuration. I'm making a huge assumption here that the firm config happens in the springtime the year of the release, and then coders are working on the next iOS for their deadline at the developers conference in June.
They are going to remove the headphone jack and make it slightly thicker than the lighting port. It will ship with new lightning beats earbuds.
I hoping we start on the iPhone X (that's pronounced "10") soon.
Then, the iPhone XS (that's pronounced "10 S", not "excess") after that.
