Do you realize just how thick modern camera bumps are? Even not including the bump phones nowadays are thicker than phones 5 years ago. The iPhone X was 7.7mm thick. The iPhone 17 pro excluding the bump is 8.7. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago Damn, I keep forgetting that the iphone X was already 5 years ago. 10 years ago then. There has been so little improvements in phones in the ladt 5 years, it all just blurs together. I think the point is, we used to have phones that were 9mm+ thick. Iphone 4s and iphone 5c from Apple and Samsung Galaxy S3 and motorola G phones were all that thickness. They even had replacable batteries and expandable storage. Some of those were even waterproof despite all of that. I think the main driver of impractical thinness has been marketing, planned obselecence and cost savings. permalink fedilink source parent
