    Good, nobody wants a paper thin phone. You have to put an extra thick case on it just to make in comfortable to hold.

      I mean, people might want it…if it were a decent product. But, good in terms of engineering though it may be, both the base model ($200) cheaper snd the pro model ($100) more expensive have much better specs.

      Sk you have to make a trade-off in terms of specs just for the thinness. And I’d have thought that even most people who’d want a thin phone would prefer better value for money in terms of features.

      Maybe people would want an ultra thin phone, but not when it has a giant tumour that makes it actually almost twice as thick as an iPhone 6.

      Someone should manufacture a 1mm thin phone by disassembling one and mounting the screen at a 90 degree angle to the rest of the components, as that’s apparently how we measure “thickness” these days.

        If being thin was the penultimate then we’d all use pens/pencils thinner than toothpicks. At a certain point you’re no longer ergonomic for human hands.
