    With the trend to make ever larger but thinner phones, we’ll eventually end up with an A3 sheet of paper. I just want the 5/5S/SE1 or Mini form factor back. I don’t care about thin phones, only about being able to use the whole screen with one hand.

      Did they even go as thin again after getting burned by the bending one?

    Apple love to come in MANY years late, with older technology (see OLED for example). Once it’s cheap.

    And claim REVOLUTIONARY!

    And here we go again.

      Many features seem to come like 5-7 years late. Somewhere around 2016 Apple had finally added so many of the basic features to the iPhone that I could actually start considering it a realistic alternative to Android phones. Before that, there were always several serious deal breakers. Nowadays, things are actually surprisingly tolerable. It took like forever to get there, but now the phone actually does all the basic things.
