Why? Phones have been thin enough for a long time that you have to put them in a case just to get a good grip.

I want an iPhone with a larger battery so it doesn’t have the stupid camera bulge.

Longer life and doesn’t rock when I text on a surface.

I mean, I agree with you on the battery life being desirable, but purely in terms of addressing the rocking, does putting it in a rigid case resolve that?

It makes the phone bigger without extra battery life so what’s the point?

I’ve actually never ran a case on my phones just a screen protector.

Actually, they’ve been getting thicker every year since the 6, believe it or not.

Exactly. I’m still on my 11pro for this reason, already had to replace the battery. I got the 15 as a work phone, it feels very large in comparison, I’m not a fan.

I’d be happier if they push for lighter devices personally. Glass feels nice, but their Pro models can be obnoxiously heavy.

I don’t want thinner. I want more functionality. Don’t expect me to pay 2 grand for a laptop with no external USB or HDMI ports, for which privileges I can pay an additional $100 or so. I’m frustrated enough by the lack of Ethernet jacks on my Lenovo. The last time I had a Mac (work shipped me one), I was even more frustrated by how bad the built in trackpad and keyboard were and the fact that using an external device to replace them came at a premium price.

HDMI is a trash standard and we should move everyone to Displayport at a minimum, or Thunderbolt. But also, all the MacBook Pros have HDMI.

Weird. I think Apple’s trackpad is head and shoulders better than anyone else’s.
