Except whenever a manufacturer, including Apple, tries to market a phone that's smaller than the average size, nobody buys them.
The only people who actually want smaller phones are some very loud people on the internet.

No this will likely limit the max antenna range and give you worse radio reception, but will make no difference to the CPU that runs the UI and apps
For example, my conservative neighbor the other day was complaining about the weight of EVs compared to ICE cars
If they're so concerned about vehicle weight, I'm sure they're driving a compact car instead of a truck or SUV, right?
Well to begin with, it only has one control panel instead of like 3
This one is using their new braided cable instead of the old plastic one
I don't have the article itself but they used https://subredditstats.com as a source, if you check some of the biggest subs on there you can see clearly in the charts the drop in posts and comments
Even the USB 2.0 phones support DisplayPort 4K 60Hz/HDR https://www.macrumors.com/2023/09/13/all-iphone-15-models-support-displayport/
Yes? Most use cases for Thunderbolt are external NVMe drives or laptop docks, those are fine with short cables.
The alternative of getting rid of USB-C plug compatibility and requiring an expensive optical assembly and fragile optical connectors would kill Thunderbolt. It means it's gone from laptops where the space and cost is too high, it means it's gone from iPads where it won't even fit, external NVMe drives will settle for USB due to cost .
Active optical cables ARE part of the standard for those who need it.
Definitely follow up on if you get it working or not! Since I saw that blog post many years ago I always meant to try it but never did...
Good point!
Thunderbolt optical cables exist if you need them, and for anyone who doesn't the extra cost of the optical interface is a waste.
Yeah but then Apple dropped their longstanding practice of naming MacOS releases 10.x and went to MacOS 11 and if there's one thing that Microsoft can never resist it's copying Apple.
