It was a flop because no one really wants thinner phones, they are harder to use. The iPhone Air was also extremely overpriced and missing basic features a phone a quarter of the price has.

    Yes, those are all great points that make up a good portion of why they should probably revisit the design.

    Or maybe stop trying to make expensive electronics as thin as possible.

    Thin is fine. But you should use that newly free space for a bigger battery. It fits better in people's hands that way too.

    Exactly, and it's easier to make them user serviceable that way too.

    I've never understood the desire to make $1k+ electronics super thin, but then again I step on things a lot. I guess the fragility could be a form of planned obsolescence.
