Comparing the thickness of the 2007 iPhone and a hypothetical 2026 model - Technology on Aviaclip

This image highlights the evolution of smartphone design by comparing the 11.5mm thickness of the original 2007 iPhone with a conceptual 2026 'iPhone Duo' measuring 11.3mm. The visual critique focuses on how modern marketing often emphasizes a thinner device chassis while ignoring the significant protrusion of the rear camera module. By excluding the camera bump from the official thickness measurement, the comparison suggests that manufacturers are prioritizing slim profiles at the expense of flush hardware design, leading to a device that is effectively thicker than its predecessor when the camera housing is taken into account.

Apple, leading the way in bringing you features Android phones have had for years. Apple could put a turd on a stick, sell it for $2, 000 and have their Apple'tards queuing around the block for days to buy it

Yes yes, applying the same logic, this phone is 8mm thick...

i don't give a single fuck about how thin the phone is. is it durable? does it have good battery power? is it expandable? i would literally take a fucking brick phone around with me if it offered excellent battery, signal, storage options with a screen that is legible at arms len

And you know any case you put on it will be as wide as the camera anyway to protect it
