I think modern Apple, with all the faults they do have, are finally moving away from the thinnest designs possible.
The MacBook line got significant redesigns after too many compromises for being thin, iPhones have been getting thicker ever since the iPhone 6S.
I wish Samsung followed them and started getting thicker phones with better batteries too. I wouldn’t mind if my S23 was about 30% thicker than what it currently is.
But they’re not maintaining the limit, they’re actively making them thicker. I think they are trending in the opposite direction now.
And mind you, the iPhone 6 was the thinnest and it had the bending issue and all that… But the iPod Touch 4 was even thinner but had a much stronger body, was cheaper, and had the same A4 processor as the flagship iPhone at the time it was released.
It’s not impossible to make a super thin device that also feels good and is durable.
I’d love a thinner phone instead of my current iPhone 13 brick that lasts 3-4 days on a charge, a thinner phone charging every night would be ideal, I miss my Samsung GS6 from the perspective. I know I’m a minority though.
I regret I didn’t get the 13 Mini, but that’s my own fault.

They will
But first they’ll have ads making fun of Apple, THEN they’ll copy them a few months later.
I think it’s more like they’ve just reached the limit. devices can only get so thin before they are too fragile and awkward to hold.
