Oh, what a surprise, even iPhone users look at specification. Nobody asked for thin phones. Even Samsung ditched next generation of Edge. Instead they should release smaller phones. Not flagships, just average specs. Because who want flagship wants big phone too.
it would be interesting to see how 5.5in or 6.0in flagship line phones do today. apple could sell a really basic small phone easily. it would balance their generic looking lineup at the opposite end of the upcoming iPh Fold.
I would imagine that iPh17 Air sales will pickup as we get closer to black friday/Xmas. I don't think everyone will do well, but the most highly coveted products will.
