Please give the thing rounded sides like the SE (and older phones with that case). I’m getting so sick of the sharp corners of all the current phones and the way they dig into my hands.

Literally nobody is asking for thin electronics. Make them thicker and give the people what they actually need; bigger batteries. iPhone T H I C C when.

My 16 Pro Max has pretty amazing battery life. I don’t feel constrained by it at all. It’s still got 48% left at the end of a busy day today.

bigger batteries, no AI, no spyware, user control over the device they bought....

To be fair, they have been making them thicker and adding bigger batteries. The iPhone 12 Pro was 7.4mm thick while the 16 pro is 8.25mm

I completely agree. I always have my 15 in a case, but sometimes I take it out to clean it or wipe out water when it gets splashed.

The phone feels twice as thin, and it’s nice, but not my priority at all.

With the size of an iPhone Mini? Please?

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Unfortunately it’s going to be even bigger than the pro according to rumors. -posted from my iphone13 mini

@TORFdot0 @meldrik why is it that so little people realize that the iPhone 13 mini was the best iPhone in the past 10 years?

Bigger = better? Forget it! I can do anything I want in my iPhone 13 mini and see people struggling with their phablets all the time.

Anyway, if the iPhone Air is bigger than the Pro versions, I’m seriously considering the Samsung flip.

With even MORE AI in it!!! Just all the AI you can squeeze into the thinnest phone with the most mediocre battery life!!! Can't wait.

I can see the point that foldable iPhones are coming, and Apple need practice making packages as thin as possible. If it means the non-pro models get a little thinner then great, as long as the cost of this R&D testing isn’t all loaded on the price of this year’s models, because no one cares about a 1mm difference.
