People are nuts, that's all there is to it. They're worried about thinness, but meanwhile buy phones that are so tall and wide they cannot actually fit in a pocket. There's no benefit whatsoever to the thinness, except that someone else's phone is thicker. And no, water damage is not a concern. You can absolutely build phones with a battery compartment that can safely be fully submerged in water.
- stronglikedan 10mo agoI have a 6.9 inch screen, which is the biggest if not extremely close, and it fits in my pocket just fine. It fits well because it's so thin.
- thisislife2 10mo agoAnd it would still fit in your pocket even if it was few more millimetre thick. And, it is better to make the pockets bigger by a few millimetres rather than making the phones thicker.
- dspillett 10mo agoI think mine is stated as 6.7" and pretty thin. I wouldn't say it fits comfortably in all conditions. In some trousers/shorts it either sticks out a bit or digs in my side when I'm sat and bend (to tie a show, etc).

- fhdkweig 10mo agoAre real people worried about thinness? I don't think I have ever met anyone outside of a marketing department that has asked for a thinner phone vs one with more battery life.
- hamdingers 10mo agoThe iPhone Air is the most recent proof that consumers don't actually care about thinness.
