I thought we did this already and came to the conclusion that thinness only matters up to a point, then it’s just removing battery life/functionality/durability chasing a benchmark that nobody actually cares about. Oh well, hopefully they learned their lessons last time and it’s better this go around.

I'm sorry but you clearly aren't listening. Apple is telling you you want thinner.

Yeah, once it easily fits in a pocket next to other stuff, I really just want as much battery life and durability as possible. Then again, I tend to not buy the newest and most expensive phone, so I'm clearly not their target audience. The SE line is a much, much better deal.

I don't care too much about the size. It's the weight that needs to be reduced on laptops.

I’m all down for weight reduction, like switching to titanium.
