Can someone please explain Apple's "thinness" arms race? I never heard so much as a suggestion that the previous iPad Air was too thin, while battery life is something that could be (literally) infinitely improved.
Why did they not keep the device the same thin-ness and double the battery? Surely that would increased the product's value and utility?
- Steko 12y agoI don't know what needs to be explained. Apple believes the value of increasing the battery life beyond the typical work/school day + commute is less than the the value of having a device that is much easier to hold and carry + costs saved by not putting in twice as much batteries and paying for a thicker enclosure.
