Can someone that is actually interested in this explain the appeal? Thin on its own I get but thin with a giant bump 100% defeats the whole point for me. Seems clear at this point there is little hope of them engineering their way into thin cameras.
This phone has the highest screen area to weight ratio except for the Galaxy S25 Edge.

#302The bumper is back! I was one of the weirdos who liked it unironically for the iPhone 4 back in the day, antennagate prevention aside. https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MH004ZM/A/iphone-air-bump... It's $39, but if it's indeed rigid as the description implies, then it may be a legit option for drop protection without compromising the thinness.

iPhone status symbol without having to haul around a huge bulky phone. Most users probably use/need 10% of what a max pro iPhone offers, but they want 100% of the max pro status. Now they can keep the status without needing to carry a chonker.

#306At the end of the day, I want future phones to be a A4 piece of paper that I can fold up like ... a piece of paper. If it means dumping stupid billions to shave sub millimeters of generations... then I guess that's the price to pay.

#307Clearly there is a disconnect between what commenters want and what actually sells.

#308All I want is a 4-5 inch phone :( bring back the mini!
People get old. Old people cannot see small text. Big text requires bigger screen to fit. One could argue that a lot of 50-ish people have pro max with iphone 5-ish screen estate. Small screens ain’t gonna happen
The only thing I see a possible issue is dealing with camera features. But, you know, tech companies should actually innovate stuff... I know radical.

#310Imagine putting the phone on the table and seeing it rocking side to side when you press it, the nightmare. Somebody needs to change this stupid trend urgently, we don't need thinner phones.
