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.
Guess I'm just built different. I used my last phone until it offed itself and my current phone is 4.5 years old. I'm more or less content with it.
Same. Rocking the same galaxy s9 I got used off backmarket for a couple of years now
Why?
Lighter
The newer phones are dense AF. They may get thinner but they are noticeably heavier.
they couldn't become much denser, my working assumption is the processor and screen will become slightly more efficient, so battery can get smaller
I’m with you, like I don’t think we need to go thinner than we have before but could we return to like, iPhone 6 thickness?
My current phone is an enormous brick
gotta make the phone less resilient to snapping for some fucking reason
