They scored big with the M-series macbook being a little thicker and having an hdmi port, and now they want to go back?

Honestly… in my opinion hdmi needs to die. DisplayPort is superior in every way, especially when driving from thunderbolt/usb4. We are so close to one port for everything, even if we have to continue dongle hell for a while longer.

There's no way that the home entertainment world is gonna drop HDMI.

It may be technically-inferior, but HDMI support means that your computer can talk to home entertainment displays like televisions and home entertainment projectors, not just computer displays.

Most computer displays also support hdmi too though. In the last though there were usually tradeoffs in using the hdmi input. Now hdmi has caught up enough that usually there’s no difference, assuming the manufacturer is using the latest standard.

anything thinner than an iPod Touch 4 is unnecessarily thin imo

TheRealKuni ,

The 13” iPad Pro M4 is thinner than the iPod Nano, making it the thinnest device Apple has ever made (except for the camera bump, but we don’t talk about that). It’s wild how thin it is, but it’s significantly lighter than its predecessor and is much nicer to hold.

But it can be that thin because it’s large enough that the battery can be spread out. I wouldn’t want a phone that thin.

I'm not going to buy any of those, and I don't use a smartwatch at all, but I'd rather have a thicker laptop and phone with the extra space expended on a larger battery.

Enough with the goddamn thinness soon that shit is gonna snap if you breathe on it

iPhone 6: First foldable smartphone

cmnybo ,

Why? Phones have been thin enough for a long time that you have to put them in a case just to get a good grip.

I want an iPhone with a larger battery so it doesn’t have the stupid camera bulge.

Longer life and doesn’t rock when I text on a surface.

seriously

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

Oh I’m serious.

When Satan's Maggoty Cum Fart says they are serious, then you better believe that Satan's Maggoty Cum Fart is being serious and take it seriously!

And I can repair when it breaks.

I mean, I agree with you on the battery life being desirable, but purely in terms of addressing the rocking, does putting it in a rigid case resolve that?

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

It makes the phone bigger without extra battery life so what’s the point?

I’ve actually never ran a case on my phones just a screen protector.

bdonvr ,

Actually, they've been getting thicker every year since the 6, believe it or not.

slaacaa ,

Exactly. I’m still on my 11pro for this reason, already had to replace the battery. I got the 15 as a work phone, it feels very large in comparison, I’m not a fan.

DolphinMath ,

I’d be happier if they push for lighter devices personally. Glass feels nice, but their Pro models can be obnoxiously heavy.

Because we need to keep innovating?
