Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple is planning to release a slew of slimmed-down products, including a thinner MacBook Pro, Apple Watch and iPhone. It follows earlier reports of a slimmer iPhone coming with the iPhone 17 in 2025.

    Why? Phones have been thin enough for a long time that you have to put them in a case just to get a good grip.

      I had the bending iphone. Had it replaced twice under warranty. Never again.

      iPhones have been getting thicker year over year since the 11. The 15 is the largest jump in thickness over that period, too. It’s actually pretty reasonable that Apple would seek to return to at least the last prior model’s form factor.

    They scored big with the M-series macbook being a little thicker and having an hdmi port, and now they want to go back?

      Honestly… in my opinion hdmi needs to die. DisplayPort is superior in every way, especially when driving from thunderbolt/usb4. We are so close to one port for everything, even if we have to continue dongle hell for a while longer.

        There’s no way that the home entertainment world is gonna drop HDMI.

        It may be technically-inferior, but HDMI support means that your computer can talk to home entertainment displays like televisions and home entertainment projectors, not just computer displays.

    I’m not going to buy any of those, and I don’t use a smartwatch at all, but I’d rather have a thicker laptop and phone with the extra space expended on a larger battery.
