Excited for this rumored thinner iPhone. If the iPad Pro can be 5 mm thick, then the iPhone can be 5 mm. Next year will be a good year to retire my iPhone 12, and a 6.6" display at 0.2" thin? Sounds pretty nice to hold, pocket, and look at. Hopefully, the Süti PhoneBack MagSafe covers will still be around and they make one for this model.
Hmm, would be interesting if Apple has to use a single layer or single stack logic board for this device. iPhones have been using 2 stack logic boards for a long while now, where they consist of two PCBs stacked on top of each other. All 4 sides have chips and connectors on them.
A cool thing they can do is go the Apple Watch SiP route, and even evolve it some more. Take the single layer PCB logic board, encase it in ceramic and bond it to the substrate on the back of the display? Use the electro-chemical bonding they are using for the battery for the iPhone 16 models. So, if the logic board and the battery is electro-chemically bonded, this will increase the phone's stiffness.
Apple also have to have thought about the front cameras stick out too, on all of their devices from phones to laptops. Just have the front cam stick out. Having better front camera performance is one of those features that could stand improvement across the whole product line as the usage of video communication is only increasing.
