5.5mm? Vivo did 5.1mm on the 2014 X5max* yet still managed to keep the still-relevant 3.5mm audio jack.
Come to think about it, Oppo's 2014 R5** has a 4.9mm thickness. I'd love to see Oppo resurrect that classic with a modern silicon carbide battery.

Comments on this are funny.
Obviously the target market of such a device is not a tech enthusiast or someone who comes on a website like this one to read smartphone news lmao. Of course you don't see the point of it, because of course it's not for you.

Not an Apple user or fan, but I want this to win. Phones are too big, too heavy, and thick nowadays. It would have to sacrifice on components like battery size though. Hoping it gets supercharging speeds and silicon-carbon batt.
...so everyone else would follow after. But Apple's definitely not the first with the silicon-carbon batteries. I think it's Honor again just like the dynamic island. Honor did that first.

Here it comes, a super thin phone with an equally super thin battery - it's amazingly thin and the battery lasts half a day, but we think you're going to love it!

Who cares about the thickness of the phone - it's just a gimmick. Either 5 mm phone or 7 mm device fits in my pocket, and most people would just prefer a bigger battery.

so basically this is the new excuse Apple has come up with to sell cheap stuff at high prices. hey it's so THIN! dont mind missing an ultrawide and the telephoto, a decently sized battery, a cooling solution that doesn't burn your phone in summers for anyone somewhat close to the equator, look how THIN it is!
if only they went back to a rounded frame like on the 11 pro this whole slim gimmick would have been completely unnecessary.the older models feel 10 times better when held. the current kind that digs into your hand is awful

DaFink, 12 Jan 2025‘Apple 6 were first folding phones they nicely fold one way... moreWell not wrong. Apple was first folding phone the Iphne 6 came in september 2014 while nexus 6p came year later in september 2015.
Who was second does not matter only first device counts. That was Iphone 6 and 6plus.
The first which bends to half and back and does not die were Royale Flexpay before Samsung made first Fold.
Or Kyocera Echo but this was like to say weird folding phone.
But when we come to history absolute history Nintendo were first with duakl screen but that was almost 30 years ago.
