Apple seems to be chasing thinness again after years of focusing on cameras and performance. Do we really need thinner phones, or should innovation focus elsewhere (battery, repairability, AI integration)?

Probably thin so it can make a foldable screen. That seems to be the thinking around this because nobody really cares about thinness after a point. Also, a bonus, thin/small generally means better efficiency.
