5.6 mm? Pah! The Moto Z beat them by .4 mm almost 10 years ago: https://www.androidheadlines.com/2025/05/the-moto-z-was-so-a... And, more importantly, the Moto Z had a reason for being so thin: the ability to add "mods" that attached to the back of the phone magnetically.

What I don't like about iPhones in terms of practicality is that the corner camera makes it impossible to lay them on a table without wobbling. Google does a better job with its Pixel phones.

> The Moto Z beat them

The unfortunate part is that you can make anything better in a single parameter, but Apple has effectively no competitors. People who buy Apple will continue to buy Apple.

For people to switch, the competition has to come out with something that is visibly and unbeatably better than what Apple has.

I know many people in developing countries who'd rather have a 5 year old iPhone than a new android.

Bs. I've seen people migrate between iphones/pixels/galaxies. Some write about it in HN even.

HN is for nerds. Majority of population is not. Not really indicative.
