Literally nobody is asking for thin electronics. Make them thicker and give the people what they actually need; bigger batteries. iPhone T H I C C when.
Are you a man or a woman? Mens pants tend to have functional pockets that actually fit phones, and I've never had that problem before in my life. Hell I carry two phones with me most of the time and I've never even considered that an issue.
Womens pants where the phone doesn't even fit I could kinda understand. But I'd much rather a thicker more rigid phone that isn't likely to get bent should from these ilfitting pockets.
I can see the point that foldable iPhones are coming, and Apple need practice making packages as thin as possible. If it means the non-pro models get a little thinner then great, as long as the cost of this R&D testing isn’t all loaded on the price of this year’s models, because no one cares about a 1mm difference.
Please give the thing rounded sides like the SE (and older phones with that case). I’m getting so sick of the sharp corners of all the current phones and the way they dig into my hands.
