Por the love of god. I'm already scared of dropping my current phone because its so small in my hand unless I put a beefy case on it. Just leave it thick and use the innovations to put a bigger battery in there. I don't give a shit about saving 2mm but and extra 10 hours of battery life would def perk my ears.

They're just flexing their engineering skills. Mass producing such a thin phone, where most of the non battery internals are housed in the camera bump can translate to meaningful products

Like wearables, glasses, etc. The fact that they're mass producing this is key
