Can’t wait for this to get into the hands of JerryRigEverything
the folding iphone is finally here!
Hahahah love it
haha it’s an old meme
Ok now make it twice as thick and half as tall.
Only twice? How about 4 times as thick?
If I could have a phone that lasts 4-6 days without a recharge, take my money!
Only twice? How about 4 times as thick?
I just measured my iPhone 16 Pro’s thickness with a caliper, too lazy to read the actual specifications, got around 8-8.5mm. If we multiplied 5.6mm (iPhone 17 Air) by 4 that would be 22.4mm which is nearly 7/8” thick.
That would be an absolutely brick to lug around personally, I can barely fit my current phone with its otter box in my pocket as is and comfortably sit down.
I meant four times as thick as that new ultra thin design, but I’d even that that one you just said.
If that means I only need to charge once a week, I’m in
I meant four times as thick as that new ultra thin design,
Yes, to which I responded in my original comment with:

You’re talking almost a full inch.
Ah okay
I’d still take it
Thin = more battery swap services anyone who says otherwise is Apple shill
EU should mandate removable back phones like we used to have. Not this hot glued shit, save that for Tesla trucks.
Like the blue colour , but don’t understand appeal of ultra thin phones
Remember my 1st reaction to macbꝏk airs I think , my very 1st thought wasz “unbelievably fragile , who would use this , what if you drop it”
IMHO there’s sweet spot of phone thickness
- Just thin enough to be comfortable to hold without feeling like shattering into zillion pieces if you drop it
- Just thick enough to (feel solid in hand|lay flat on table|have all necessary ports) without being tꝏ uncomfortably heavy to hold in 1️⃣ hand
It features a 6.5-inch OLED display
Not even sub 6. 😞
They are making stupid big phones to set themselves up for when they invent the folding screen models in 2026. Folders are great, but others have been making them for years.
I have seen one and I have my doubts. Perhaps another 10 years.
Who wants this?
people who think owning apple is a status symbol. that’s who.
and it’s the majority of consumers. apple has a very high attachment rate/image for the US consumer. especially among the upper middle class where not having an apple product/iphone is considered a mark of poverty.
This, unfortunately is universally true. It’s pure superficial nonsense, but such is a large % of humanity.
Thin… is this their definition of thin? That fucking camera will be a balancing problem.
After seeing this model was getting the A19 Pro, I was half expecting the Pro to get the M5. Honestly, depending on thermals and size, that could work.
The A19 pro in the air is different from the one in the pro
Ultra-Thin
but why
They ran out of ideas when Steve Jobs died of ligma
Who’s Steve Jobs?
Who is ligmar?
So you can roll it. Probably.
Because Samsung did it.
Samsung did it because it leaked Apple was always doing this.
It’s likely a test case for their upcoming foldable. If they make it this thin they can Cana decent idea of some of the failure modes of the foldable that they may not have predicted.
You can actually feel the radiation!
Only the 1 camera? And still the full width camera bump? And it’s a full width camera bump that won’t sit flat
That camera bump contains the camera and the phones logic board. It’s basically the entire phone minus the battery and screen.
But Apple said it’s a special new hybrid camera that has two cameras in that one camera!
That « optical quality telephoto » garbage makes my blood boil
it has three cameras…two are invisible.
i can’t believe the pro iphone has 8 cameras in 3 cameras!
Wow! That’s a 2.6 cpc value! What an achievement!
how many cameras does the front camera have? because if it’s not 3 it’s bringing down their cpc ratio
Bendgate 2.0
Zach from JerryarigEverything is gonna snap this like a well tempered Hershey bar.
finally got 120hz in the base model too
I wanted a small phone, not a thin phone. 😭
They tried for a few years and it obviously didn’t sell very well. People want large screens.
Personally, as much as I like the idea of it and missing my iPhone 5, I couldn’t bring myself to buy a Mini.
The mini was quite a compromised phone. And I get it, they have to make it look good. They don’t want some thick ass small phone with an apple logo on the back. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what I want.
For every person who likes small phones, there’s a thousand people who’d rather buy a 7" behemoth. I’ll be using my 13 mini for as many years as I can, but we’ve lost the battle :(
At least the Air is probably more comfortable to use than the others
so smaller battery (meaning you will need to replace it earlier, which is bad), larger screen than the base model while having a smaller capacity (making battery life even worse…) compromised cameras (no ultrawide and no telephoto, “optical quality” crop in does not count…), compromised speakers (only the amplified earpiece speaker?), possible durability issues (which may be partially remedied with a case, but that defeats the point of a thin phone…), worse thermals (esp. with the “Pro” chip, albeit one less GPU core, also will make battery life extra worse. iOS 26 is sure to make the thermals worse too…), and more expensive.
For what, a phone that’s a few mm thinner?
For what, a phone that’s a few mm thinner?
so you drop it faster, so then you have to buy a thick rubber case. Smart phones are stupid.
To me the only purpose of this is to beta the thin design before a folding phone. Other than that, it’s kinda dumb.
Uh oh, it’s gonna be the lumia 1520 all over again.
