i fucking hate tech companies
the phone will just generate shit all the time - texts, voices, images, music - all to post on AI-gen only social media. And it doesn't even need human interaction to do that but you are legally obligated to buy 12 of these per year or you will be deported to Moldova.
As somebody who extensively travelled to Moldova for the wine, food, and the parties I say, not too bad. I'll be in the first train
hey, don't spoil the party for everyone! Repeat after me "they are going to deport me to Moldova! oh shit! damn!"
Don't give them ideas!
Apple got rid of the headphone jack but not the camera bump..
Not just Apple...
The next iteration will be a cheese wedge, 1mm thin on one side and 1cm thick on the other.
I'd rather have that. it'll actually stay stable when you put it down, plus the screen would be slightly tilted upwards so you can see it better when it's just there on the table.
Actually razor blade sharp. One atom thick iPhone
People slicing their hand are just holding them wrong
Yeah, but if it's an iPhone.. you probably have to pay Apple a proprietary fee; due to becoming injured by their patented technology.
you need mechanical stability a bit too, so if it's too thin, it just breaks too easily.
IMO the perfect size for a smartphone should be the weight of an apple (fruit) or some other snack like croissant, something that you can comfortably hold in one hand.
Check it,
Fresh fruit & a hand written letter!
This is why you spend much money for name brand phone protector!
Not to make phone tough..
...but so..
.. it can sit level on flat surface!
Why do phones have to be as slimmed down as a coke addicted supermodel from the 90s anyway?
I'd much prefer they shrink the fucking things enough that they fit in your pocket.
I for one would love a cheaper option without a ridiculous camera. Or even no camera!
This perfectly illustrates my gripes with whatever is driving the trend of these super thin phones.
First, is anyone even asking for phones to be thinner? Then there's the camera bump sticking out like a wart. And beyond that, it gets put into a bulky case anyway which negates the super thin thing entirely.

Kill the bump! Give me better cooling and battery life with replaceable battery.
and battery life with replaceable battery.
You mean a $99 magsafe powerbank that only fits on this specific phone doesn't satisfy you as a replaceable battery?
/s
Wait... the magsafe battery is tied to a specific phone serial? I can't get the magsafe battery and lend it to my buddy who is low on battery at the moment?
No, I meant it only fits on the iPhone 17 Air, not other iPhones. If your buddy also has an iPhone 17 Air he can borrow yours
Oh. At least that, I guess. But if it's just a magsafe battery pack, shouldn't it be compatible with any other models that accept wireless charging with a magsafe?
On other Magsafe iPhones, or Qi2 Android phones, the distance between the camera bump and the charging coil is a lot smaller. If you tried to use it on one of those the camera bump would prevent it from sitting flush against the rear or the phone and it won't charge.
Oh. What sneaky little shites. Wow.

No, but hell no
Give me a chunky phone with a week long battery
Apple: here is your phone with a weak, long battery.
Regular sex will make your day.
But anal sex will make your hole weak.
Better yet, week long replaceable battery
It will weight more than kilogramme
Uhm IIRC typical battery is 2000 mAh/day, so one week battery is 14 Ah/day, which is 50 Wh assuming 3.7 V.
A typical sodium ion battery (which i very much like btw) typically holds 0.2 kWh/kg, so 200 Wh/kg, so to store 50 Wh, you'd need around 250g of battery.
For reference, i think smartphones should be about as heavy as an apple (fruit) which is 100g average. And the battery makes most of that weight (like, 80%). So the battery could be about 80g, which would store 16 Wh of energy. That would make about 4000 mAh. Which is what many phones today already have. Which lasts for 1-2 days.
Okay but the iPhone air is 165 grams with a 3036 mah battery, so what are you gonna remove to make it 100g?
I have a motog5 if I load a non google OS like lineageOS, or use Googles Android with a TrackerControl app that let's you turn off app tracking, then I would get 3 days between charge, with regular use. A few weeks if it was just standby for phonecalls
You're describing rugged phones
