I can understand people wanting “smaller" screens cause they don't have huge hands/pockets
But slimmer phones when the cheapest ones (< 200€) already are like 8mm, I don't really get it, at this point it's just a structural weakness, like the geth would say
The only advantage would be to have a bulky phone case while still maintaining a 6 or 8 mm width, but still it wouldn't prevent your phone from bending
I was recently messing around with an iPod touch 5th gen, with dimensions 4.86 inches (123.4 mm) in height, 2.31 inches (58.6 mm) in width, and 0.24 inches (6.1 mm) in depth. It weighs approximately 3.10 ounces (88 grams). It felt fantastic in the hand and I want a phone that size now.
I was near an Apple store a few days ago and tried out the iPhone air, it was honestly really nice in the hand. I wouldn’t buy one, but seeing in person, I kinda get it.
Till you put on the heavy rubberized case for protection
I'd kill for a modern iPhone 4 form-factor with Android or Linux.
I'd love to see a modern specs Nexus 4. Loved that phone!
You clearly have not watched Zack’s YT on this. The big ones bend and break way sooner. It’s not even close.
My guess, what we are witnessing here with the Air is just a stepping stone to a foldable. As a standalone I’m with you, it’s the inferior phone. Just not because of the structural weaknesses - it’s not weak at all - but due to smaller battery, less cameras and less speakers.
Oh, and case less gang checking in.
