Ultra-thin iPhone coming in 2025 with form factor redesign
Ultra-thin iPhone coming in 2025 with form factor redesign
A new report from The Information indicates Apple is planning a major upgrade to the iPhone in 2025 with a new ultra-thin, high-end model.
This new iPhone model is said to be “significantly thinner” than current iPhone models, and may align with a discontinuation of the iPhone Plus line. Though according to The Information, it is expected to be more expensive than the Pro Max model.
Is anyone actually asking for thinner phones or is this just engineers jacking themselves off
Pretty sure the last few iphones were already so thin you could accidentally snap them in half. Not sure what the thinking is here.
The latter. Gotta do something to pretend the wheels of technical progress are still spinning
They will probably have to start introducing unpopular features just to remove them in the next model. Innovation!
Apple is taking advantage of our monkey brains. We see someone else using a phone that’s sleeker, thinner, lighter, brighter, has a “cooler” color/design, has more cameras, etc etc and start to think we’re missing out despite having almost the same thing. They’ve made phone upgrades and payment plans so accessible that people don’t see it as unaffordable.
gotta make the phone less resilient to snapping for some fucking reason
Ultra thin everywhere except for the camera bump which will be even easier to damage now. Just make the thickness uniform and fill it in with more battery capacity wtf...
Unless it can't be held without bleeding, it isn't thin enough.
I literally was about to quote that comic. Fuck nerds of all sorts
iPhone users long to get papercuts from holding our phones “wrong”, it’s true.
but seriously wtf is this design choice, iPhone 15 is already so thin that gripping it without a popsocket or similar is painful.
What's the chance it bends in half like one of the older models?
laughing at this because shit like the small pill camera box in the front is pretty much what huawei does
they just stealing chinese technology and shit now
give me a bigger battery so I can stay up all night posting, assholes
Ngl that’d be kinda nice they went way too big with the last few, my current phone is massive
Everyone else is going to post relevant things to that story, so I'm just going to comment on the webcomic. Screw Simone Veil. The argument that nerds suck is hurt by her making it.
What did she do?
She did a kickstarter for a book, had a mental break and supposedly burned the book copies, demanded everyone delete her content off the internet and never mention it again, called everyone who continued to share her webcomic awful and IIRC even said it was harassment to keep sharing her stuff, then a couple years later said it was all just a bit and she just did everything as a troll (A lot of people still did not get the book they paid her for)
Apple is just throwing things at the wall to increase average sale price metrics (see the plus models this is replacing).
