The photo seems to indicate the InReach is 3-4x as thick as an iPhone. I couldn’t find specs. Would you care to share the actual size?
- ashtonkem 5y agoGiven the size of my Garmin 64st, I bet that most of that thickness is down case design. Apple sacrifices a lot of durability in the name of making the “thinnest iPhone ever”, while Garmin often goes in the exact opposite direction for fairly obvious reasons.
- mikestew 5y ago2.04” x 3.90” x 1.03” (5.17 x 9.90 x 2.61 cm) It’s chunky. Hard to say how much of that is radio and antenna. And folks in this discussion seem to forget the antenna, which is multiples of iPhone thickness. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/592606#specs https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/592606#specs
- AdamJacobMuller 5y agoIt's chunky, but, it's older and made of plastic vs glass/metal and designed to be more resistant to drops/falls/damage. It's also a 6 year old design, technology has moved on. My larger point being that I don't find it implausible that it could be done, since, 6-year-old technology was already close.
