given the prices of the phones, and the problems that are already showing themselves with some of the thinner and larger models, such as the 6plus for example, with them being able to get bent so easily, I would say yes, it is starting to become a problem! when you fork out that much for something, I think it is reasonable to expect it to last, with out having to treat it so delicately as you seem to have to with the flimsy stuff that seems to be the in thing these days. I can certainly think of a good few benefits to having the phones made a bit thicker. 1, since we are talking about speakers, I will kick off with that a thicker phone could very possibly be fitted with a speaker/speakers with a better/wider frequency response. 2, a thicker phone could use a considerably higher capacity battery, giving greatly extended battery life in demanding situations. and/or 3, a thicker phone would have more room for possibly more storage memory, and/or a more powerful CPU.

There are benefits to be had, stereo speakers for one thing could be made a great deal of use of, not just for music but for games, mobility Apps and the phone generally being a little louder than it is now. To illustrate the point a little if I may, I have an iPad Mini. No, not quite the same as an iPhone given the Mini is a little harder but it does have stereo speakers whereas my previous iPads didn’t. The sound given that extra speaker was noticed the minute I enabled Voiceover. > On 11 Mar 2016, at 12:47 AM, Kulvinder Singh Bhogal > <kbhog...@btinternet.com> wrote: > > Aren’t the I-Phones thin enough already? > > Just don’t put your phone in your trouser pocket, you might snap it. > > > Kulvinder Bhogal > E-mail: kbhog...@btinternet.com > Facetime: kulvinder.bho...@techie.com <mailto:kulvinder.bho...@techie.com> > Skypename: bobba2006 > >> On 10 Mar 2016, at 13:42, Hamit Campos <hamitcam...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Ah they will have to have a blue tooh Ear pod.
