I wanted a small phone, not a thin phone. 😭

Bendgate 2.0

I really wanna see how successful this model will be. I’d never accept thinness as a trade off.

Ultra-Thin

but why

Leave it to Apple to put a small phone battery, to sell another battery for you to stick it outside the case, and kill the inside battery faster by using the most inefficient energy transfer technology. This must check all the money related boxes for their accountants. Bravo. 

Camera bump madness!

By the way, for everyone that says you're supposed to buy a case for it, well hear me out...

Being expected to buy a case in addition to the separate purchase of the phone, well that means the phone itself isn't even complete. And it was literally engineered that way, some extra parts and assembly expected on your part.

But if you do opt for a phone case, well that case also holds in heat and makes it get even hotter while charging or in use, which itself is also not good for the device.

A properly designed device shouldn't have a camera bump, but should rather have a flush uniform and sturdy enough screen and shell that you shouldn't particularly even need a separate phone case in the first place.

Only the 1 camera? And still the full width camera bump? And it's a full width camera bump that won't sit flat

Who wants this?

Believe it or not, I love this design.

Can't wait for this to get into the hands of JerryRigEverything

Ok now make it twice as thick and half as tall.

so smaller battery (meaning you will need to replace it earlier, which is bad), larger screen than the base model while having a smaller capacity (making battery life even worse…) compromised cameras (no ultrawide and no telephoto, “optical quality” crop in does not count…), compromised speakers (only the amplified earpiece speaker?), possible durability issues (which may be partially remedied with a case, but that defeats the point of a thin phone…), worse thermals (esp. with the “Pro” chip, albeit one less GPU core, also will make battery life extra worse. iOS 26 is sure to make the thermals worse too…), and more expensive.

For what, a phone that’s a few mm thinner?

finally got 120hz in the base model too

It features a 6.5-inch OLED display

Not even sub 6. 😞

After seeing this model was getting the A19 Pro, I was half expecting the Pro to get the M5. Honestly, depending on thermals and size, that could work.
