one has to wonder what the ideal thickness is, are we supposed to think it’s just never thin enough? will we have phones that literally cut into the skin of your hand as you hold it and they still brag about how the new model is 4 atoms thinner?
it’s not like they’re getting easier to hold, modern phones are so huge that you need a popsocket for it to be reliably and comfortably held.

Idk, I think this is just a small hands problem tbh, my hands are pretty average for a guy I think and I have had 0 issues comfortably holding big phones. Even right now I have a P9 Fold and the accompanying case makes it even bigger
As soon as they figure out long distance wireless charging, I wouldn’t be surprised if all phones become collapsible or wearable, negating the need to hold it awkwardly.
I have no idea but they keep making them thinner for…reasons?
My personal “sweet spot” is the OnePlus 3. Not too tall, thin but not unbearably so, and doesn’t sacrifice anything for headphone jack and a decent size battery. Though if I had a choice between “thin” and “removable battery”, I’d take the extra thickness required for the battery cover in a heartbeat. I’d also accept several more mm of thickness if they want to include a slide-out keyboard.

The iPhone 4/SE1 was the perfect design.
No real camera bump, single hand hold, light, durable with a metal back.
If we just added a modern OLED screen, and a modern chip and battery, that design would be perfect.
The 13 mini was close but the stupid camera bump ruined it, bring back the sleek slab

Well, thing is women have smaller hands than men on average, and they do make up 50% of the population.
