I think modern Apple, with all the faults they do have, are finally moving away from the thinnest designs possible.
The MacBook line got significant redesigns after too many compromises for being thin, iPhones have been getting thicker ever since the iPhone 6S.
I wish Samsung followed them and started getting thicker phones with better batteries too. I wouldn’t mind if my S23 was about 30% thicker than what it currently is.
