Would be huge if true
I take new battery news always with a grain of salt. How often do we see news of a new great battery advancements just so apple can make the devices thinner. Guess we will see in fall.

I wish Samsung followed them
They will
But first they’ll have ads making fun of Apple, THEN they’ll copy them a few months later.
I think modern Apple, with all the faults they do have, are finally moving away from the thinnest designs possible.
I think it’s more like they’ve just reached the limit. devices can only get so thin before they are too fragile and awkward to hold.

I’d love a thinner phone instead of my current iPhone 13 brick that lasts 3-4 days on a charge, a thinner phone charging every night would be ideal, I miss my Samsung GS6 from the perspective. I know I’m a minority though.
I regret I didn’t get the 13 Mini, but that’s my own fault.
put it in a new iphone mini and I’m interested. Since I got the 13mini I will never go back to a brick in my pocket !
13 mini is basically the same size as the 4 I had years ago. I just want new chips and better battery, not a bigger phone every year
amen
I know that the mini is something of a niche product but I don’t get why. Who is asking for these giant bricks of a cell phone? Well everyone apparently is, but why? I’d love apple to design a clamshell foldable so that I could get an even smaller pocket footprint
Your phone is a portal into a large part of the world. It’s not that odd that the average person would prefer a larger window.
My phone is a screen I use for reading, viewing media, using UI, etc. It’s a web device. Real estate matters, and larger keyboards are easier to type on.
Larger screens are harder to use one handed though. I really just want a screen sized to be used one handed by most people. I’d also argue that with Swype and similar stuff, typing on a keyboard really doesn’t need that much accuracy these days.
You want me to upgrade a phone pretty quickly? Tell me I can use it a week without having to recharge. I know we aren’t anywhere near that but I would pay a lot for that.
Do you not have a fast charger? It became pretty easy for me to stop thinking about the battery when a 20 minute charge gets me through the entire day.
I wonder if the EU is going to get their own ( IMO comprised iPhone ) or no new iPhones at all if their battery law goes in to affect making designs like this not able to be sold there.
