It's basically 6% longer, wider, and thicker.
I like small phones. 6% doesn't seem all that different from the current SE.
The fact that all that space seems to be going to battery life does seem nice...
- kylec 2y agoThose 6% increases compound together though to create something with 20% more volume, that is pretty substantial
- crazygringo 2y agoI've never heard anybody complain about volume. Just width/height. I mean, isn't everyone here on HN always making fun of Apple's supposedly unnecessary obsession with thinness? Now it's a teensy bit thicker.
- kylec 2y agoYou've never heard of people complaining about how "big" phones are, and wishing for a "smaller" phone? How would you measure "big" and "smaller" other than volume?
- crazygringo 2y agoVolume would be a terrible metric for phones. You don't make a phone half as tall and twice as thick and claim it's the same size...
- lapcat 2y agoThe 2D surface area, which affects holding and pocketing, is 13% larger. Weight also matters. I honestly still prefer the form factor of the iPhone 3GS. (I have an old one in a drawer for comparison.) 4.8 ounces, 4.5 x 2.4 x 0.48 with a rounded back. The thickness wasn't a problem.
- BugsJustFindMe 2y agoWell it's 11% longer, wider, and thicker than the 13 mini, which has better everything than the SE.
