If you follow the phone market, then there's lots of phones that have new technologies before Apple. That's always been the case.
If you want a thin flagship example that you couldn't find yourself, then the Galaxy S25 Edge, is 5.8mm, with a smaller camera bump, better main camera, plus an ultrawide, is lighter, has more SIM support, higher resolution and brighter display, USB 3, bigger battery and faster charging.
The iPhone Air is not astonishing at all.
The vivo X5Max was 4.8 mm, the Moto Z was 5.19mm thick, also bonus, the S25 Edge is actually 0.7mm thinner than the iPhone Air if you measure at the camera. But why are you being dense? Nobody is arguing the thinness, but that it's not an astonishing engineering feat.
Ahh, so it was about the SoC and that is somehow being loosely related to the thinness of the main body of the phone?
You'd do a lot better in discussion if you made your points clear from the get go instead of being hellbent on trying to validate yourself. Good luck out there!
