Nobody’s Asking for Unnecessarily Skinny iPhones or Samsung Galaxy Phones


There are so many other ways Apple and Samsung could make phones better instead of just making them thinner.

Several well-known Apple leakers, including Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, and YouTubers such as Unbox Therapy, that the iPhone 17 Air will clock in somewhere around 5.5mm to 6mm thick. Chipsets are more efficient and less power-hungry, so you don’t need massive batteries for phone basics like doomscrolling on TikTok, email, and web browsing. At the end of the day, both Samsung and Apple’s skinny phones will still have big honking screens roughly measuring 6.6 inches, and they won’t fit in any pair of reasonable pants pockets.
