Would you buy a thicker iPhone?

[ron7624]

Ive not had to charge my iPhone 6 during the afternoon since I got it. I use it all day and still have 40%+ at night when i go to bed. Although I voted that i would not mind it being thicker, I think Apple has worked it out simply by having the larger phone.

 

[maflynn]

I voted yes, because I believe the 6+ is just too thin, while the reports of bending have largely died down. I think people (including me) are treating the iPhone 6+ like a 3rd century Ming Vase

Seriously, I'm much more cognizant of how I carry/use this phone, a little thicker would mean more structural integrity.

 

[rpetunderclass]

I really don't care, as long as I get at least 8+ SOT like I did with my 6 Plus I'd be happy.

 

[Sherifftruman]

I would most definitely buy something a little thicker, say iphone 5 thickness for sure, if it meant no camera bump and better battery life.

I wouldn't mind if it was thicker.

 

[LucasEVille]

I would accept a thicker phone if they got rid of the bezels and home button, edge to edge screen ftw.

If Apple could they would as they love thin but I suggest that the occasional bending has made them change. I think it is for the good. I do not care about the antenna lines as my Sedio Surface case covers them nor the protrucpding camera. My battery is fine and I have never bent my phone. I will take a little thicker just to make it more structurally sound.

I can't stand cases. I've had no issues with any bending.

Thin is in.

Honestly, thickness of my iPhone 5S does not bother me at all even after holding numerous iPhones 6's and 6+'s.

Then keep you 6/6+ as the S version will be a little bit thicker for structural integrity.

Not bent mine either but many can not stand not sitting on theirs!

A few mm thicker wouldn't really be a problem for me. I do like my iPhone's thin, but if the 6s does turn out to be thicker than the 6, it won't be a dealbreaker (if I ultimately decide to purchase the 6s).

My ideal iPhone is the size of the 5s with the thinness and rounded design style of the six. A thinner 5s with less bezel would be great too.

But I understand bigger is here to stay.

In a heartbeat....slightly thicker iPhone 6 that last 10+ hours....sign me up!!

I would love to decrease the size of the bezel. My 6+ is my daily user with a 6 on standby in case of emergency.

 

[skiltrip]

For better battery life, absolutely. I have no love affair with thin phone. Anything about the thickness of a 5S or 5C is fine with me. My 6 is a little too thin naked, but ends up a good size with a case on it (Candyshell Grip).

I would like to see the phone thick enough where the camera doesn't stick out.

call me odd but now i think it would look odd if it didnt stick out.

that said i absolutely would take a little thicker phone for a bigger battery or more powerful internals, absolutely

 

[Cutiekitty92]

Camera bump really isnt a huge issue for me, battery is generally alright too so I'm not too bothered by either, possibly heading more towards having the same thickness though

 

[maflynn]

Camera bump really isnt a huge issue for m

Not to split hairs but the camera bump is so unapple like. I mean they used to pay attention to exact pixel placement and then they go and design a phone with a protruding lens?

 

[Gryfter]

if the next iPhone's thickness increased so that the camera lens is again flush with the whole back, it be PERFECT!!!

 

[Technarchy]

iPhone 5/5S is thin enough. I wouldn't mind a little thicker for more battery.

Agreed. I would happily embrace iPhone 5 thickness if it translated to better battery life.

The whole quest for iPhone thinness is about as ignorant as Android phone makers getting into the screen size war that lead to abominations like the Nexus 6.

The slimming down from 3GS to 4 was amazing. The change from 4 - 5 really wasn't needed. But the 5 - 6 was just stupid. But with all this being said, a 6+ with the iPhone 4 thickness would be hard to handle.

Keeping the 6+ slim makes sense because there is plenty of room for a big battery.

iPhone 6 could use a touch more thickness.

 

[Yaboze]

Only if it added more battery. Phones are thin enough now. I find it actually too thin and slippery to use without some kind of gripping case. I thought the iPhone 4S was perfect. I'd love to see a 4.7" iPhone with the 4's design. I also agree that a 6+ with the 4's thickness would be too heavy and uncomfortable.

 

[recoil80]

I wouldn't mind buying a ticker phone if that meant more battery life. iPhone 5's thickness was ok and I really loved the design.
I'd like to use my phone without cover to take advantage of the curved bezel since I use the swipe back gesture a lot, but I'll get rid of the cover as soon as they'll remove the protruding camera and I don't think it is going to happen this year.

There was an interview with Jony Ive once and they asked him why the phone kept sacrificing battery life for thinness. He told them that if they made the phone thicker the love you would feel for your iPhone would diminish and therefore making it thinner whilst maintaining battery life is better. He also said something about charging it being an important part of the day, otherwise you just start to forget about it
