    It was a flop because no one really wants thinner phones, they are harder to use. The iPhone Air was also extremely overpriced and missing basic features a phone a quarter of the price has.

      Yes, those are all great points that make up a good portion of why they should probably revisit the design.

          Thin is fine. But you should use that newly free space for a bigger battery. It fits better in people’s hands that way too.

            Exactly, and it’s easier to make them user serviceable that way too.

            I’ve never understood the desire to make $1k+ electronics super thin, but then again I step on things a lot. I guess the fragility could be a form of planned obsolescence.
