New Backlight Enables iPhone 6's Thin Design, May Cause Production Challenges

[sulpfiction]

Thinner is better though, did you see the original iPad from 2004 mockups?

I get it. I like thin. But at some point maybe they could say "lets leave the thickness where it's at and concentrate on putting some better camera tech, or a bigger battery. etc in the extra space.

With all that said I am sure I will love the new "thinner & rounder" iPhone 6.

I agree... the iPhone 6 is already stupid big, so the fact they obsess over a few mm is even more evidence Apple has lost its way.

The fact they they can't even get iMessages to consistently go to devices they should (and stop them from going to devices they shouldn't) just reinforces the lack of polish these last few years.

The second paragraph is a major screwup on Apple's part, but your first paragraph makes no sense. The market has shifted towards bigger phones, especially in the 'premium' area that Apple dominates, and wanting to make the phone slim is hardly sign that they've ~lost~ their way. Apple has been saying they've made the phone thinner since the 3G came out.

OLED isn't really that special. It doesn't always give great quality in every area. Apple's LED displays are very beautiful and accurate color wise generally.

Can you provide more (factual) info regarding OLED not being that special? Or is that Your opinion?
