Like the blue colour , but don't understand appeal of ultra thin phones

Remember my 1st reaction to macbꝏk airs I think , my very 1st thought wasz "unbelievably fragile , who would use this , what if you drop it"

IMHO there's sweet spot of phone thickness

  • Just thin enough to be comfortable to hold without feeling like shattering into zillion pieces if you drop it
  • Just thick enough to (feel solid in hand|lay flat on table|have all necessary ports) without being tꝏ uncomfortably heavy to hold in 1️⃣ hand

MacBook Airs are surprisingly robust though.

A lot of people really like the aesthetics of thin tech, be it phones, TVs, laptops, screens, watches, Coffee machines, …

It may not be for you, but it sure is for a lot of people.

Ultrathinness in (TV|stationery monitor)s can understand , not so much for stuff you carry around unless made of super durable material . Dunno how gꝏd materials being used in thin phones currently are

Also would only consider getting such thing if thinness was just purely cosmetic didn't sacrifice (performance|battery life|camera quality|.*)
