I wish I could understand Apple's obsession with thinness....that's the main reason the iPhone battery sucks so much....the phone is too fricking THIN....make it a little thicker and the battery will last 10 times as long.....no more daily charging....


I wonder how many normal sized phones have developed anorexia trying to be as thin as the iPhone.....this promotes a poor body image! 🤣

I get 14 hours with my iphone4, with texting all day and using data and e-mail. Thats the longest Ive ever had with the 40 something cell phones ive had in 6 years. you must have a bad phone

That's because Apple likes everything to be proprietary, which is ****ing retarded!

Regardless of battery life, people will still buy the phone. Honestly there are more people out here who want a slim phone compare to a big block phone. Smartphones regardless will always have the same battery problem. Thats why they sell extended lif...

Their reason for trying to make a new standard is just selfishness on their part.

Micro SIMs

Are just regular SIM cards without the extra plastic. They're 100% compatible with an X-acto knife.
Provided you have the surgical precision required to cut it 'exactly right', which most people do not have.

We don't need anymore bs from apple

everyone knows that sim cards could be made smaller. Why do need apple to convince the world the need for a smaller sim card so that next year they can tell us we need another new smaller sim card.
Of course, many people already complain that standard SIM cards are ALREADY too small and that they can't grasp it to remove from their phone...so why not make that problem EVEN WORSE?
