Thinnest isn’t necessarily speaking about the widest part, or we’d consider breast circumference rather than belly circumference when saying if women are thin or not.

IE the idealized hourglass 36-24-36 is considered thinner than a woman at 34-30-34.

The Air is more like 24-37-48 (body-plateau-lens), so I’m not sure how well the analogy translates. ;)

		The plateau seems more like the rib cage in that analogy. Also, the numbers are top to bottom so IMO the phone would be 48-24-24, a rather absurd proportion for a person and possibly why phones seem so ugly these days.

I don't put an entire woman into my pocket.

		Fair, average thickness is somewhat meaningful when you have other stuff in your pocket. However, all phones are thin enough these days it’s kind of a silly comparison. Linguistically it’s a more interesting question IMO than in terms of marketing nonsense. I think for people thin is mostly in reference to volume for a given height. But there’s a bunch of related factors involved like weight and clothing sizes which keeps it relatively ambiguous.
