                  An upgrade in number and no one is expecting groundbreaking tech from apple by the way😂😂

                    My current phone is 7.6mm thick and it's already difficult to pick up from a desk so any thinner than that would increase the risk of dropping the phone! It's best if they focus on making the phone lighter; the weights of Pro and, especially, the Pro Max could pull your pants down when you put them in the pocket if you're not paying attention!

                      For what reason??? So that the hideous camera hump sticks out even further? To make the thing even more unwieldy and even harder to hold? So that the thing becomes even more fragile and you have to put a thicker protective cover over it so that it doesn't get damaged at the slightest strain?
                      No, of course not. it's about selling new stuff to stupid consumers every year and over and over again and destroying the biosphere in order to make even more profit, no matter what it costs and what is destroyed in the process.

                          This def needs those silicon carbide batteries for that tbh

                            Instead of Slim, they should have done it as "THICC".

                            Bigger battery
                            No Camera bump
                            With Camera and Chipset setup of base 16 series

                            Although current battery life seems already pretty good, longer is still always better especially if it can hit 2 days or more.

                            This might sell more than 16 Plus for people want longer battery life, travellers, gamers, vloggers etc.

                              Thinner the glass, more fragile

                                Current phones (all phones) are already thin. I am more concerned with the weight than the thickness.

                                    Dave Granger, 05 Oct 2024Phones don't need to be thinner, they need to be smaller.Great point !!

                                      A non pro iphone placed above pro max in price wont be selling much ….unless they name it iphone “pro max SLIM”

                                        Whoever wrote this article fell for clickbait and should not be allowed to write articles about hardware anymore. The oled displays in smartphones are already less than 1 millimeter thick.. you can’t make something a few millimeters thinner that isn’t even 1mm thick to begin with. They likely read mm as millimeters instead of micrometers (oled panels are measured in micrometers and nanometers not millimeters)

                                        The only way you can make a modern iPhone thinner than it currently is would be to go back to a single layer motherboard vs the double layer motherboard on iPhone X and newer and use thinner batteries
