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.

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?

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.

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)

We’ll treat it as a case of heartbreaking

Truly the worst crime of all: a trans woman having a mental breakdown and keeping some nerds from having their treats (a physical copy of a webcomic they've already read) (which they did actually later receive)

(Not everyone received their books that they paid for) (She said she faked the mental break)

Why are you this way? Faking a mental health episode for trolling purposes isn't a thing we just expect trans people to do, it's a messed up thing to do. Beyond the people who got mad, a bunch of people were worried she would hurt herself and she did it for a fucking joke.

[–] peppersky@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because it's incredibly obvious that she wasn't faking a mental health break and everyone with a modicum of empathy should be able to tell?

If you think a Blogpost titled "I faked having depression for profit on the internet" and a second Blogpost titled "I faked having faked depression for profit on the internet" should be taken at face value you are an idiot (not to mention the actual content of the Blogposts themselves make that even more clear)

OK except I'm not talking about her "I'm faking depression", "I'm faking faking depression" posts, but the whole kickstarter being a troll, the whole thing including burning the books deleting her website and pretending to have a mental health episode was pre planned.

This is frankly embarrassing on your part.

This is what happens when a company needs to continuously report record growth each and every year regardless of the market saturation of their current crop of products. Unbridled growth will bring about the heat death of our world. I'd rather a phone with better batttery capacity than "impossibly thin".

Apple is just throwing things at the wall to increase average sale price metrics (see the plus models this is replacing).
