All 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
It still has 6.5 inch display and the camera sticks out like a sore thumb. Where's a 5 inch display normal thickness phone?
> Where's a 5 inch display When companies try smaller phones, like the iPhone 13 mini, they don't seem to sell very well. So the companies stop making them.
I don’t care about how thin the phone is. Let me replace the battery without risking shattering all the glass on the thing.
This has a couple of up sides. 1. Biggest is that Apple can finally tell if people really want a thinner phone (I don’t). Maybe once they find out the answer, they can finally start using the space more productively. 2. They mentioned local LLM in passing, but this is the biggest possible selling point of the executives actually back real work on making them consumer-level easy. Have a LLM marketplace. Let users sub-…
Sigh. I can't stand the camera bump. I would run not walk to the nearest Apple store with all my savings if they made a phone where the camera bump is made flush by adding thickness elsewhere to match, filled with extra battery. Thing would last for weeks. Ah well back to reality.
It has A19 Pro. A19 Pro has matmul acceleration in its GPU, the equivalent of Nvidia's Tensor cores. This would make future Macs extremely viable for local LLMs. Currently, Macs have high memory bandwidth and high VRAM capacity but low prompt processing speeds. Give it a large context and it'll take forever before the first token is generated. If the M5 generation gets this GPU upgrade, which I don't see why not, the…
So.. 6 hour batteries like the Apple Watch?
The Apple foldable is coming. There's no way they invested so much R&D for a thinner phone if they aren't looking to get into that market.
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.
It's more the other two dimensions that I want shrunk. Did anyone think their phone was too thick to fit in their pocket?
