pretty much

also, if you have to think about the value proposition it's not a consumer electronic device, it's an investment, and an iphone should never be an investment

thanks to my new job we are financially better than ever. i can easily "afford" a new phone, as in, it wouldn't really make any noticable difference to our finances whatsoever.

i still dont think its a good use of my money.

also lusting after slimmer design isn't inherently the best goal, it'll just bend even under the weight of the camera bump now

I bet most people would be happier f it was as thick as the camera bump and it went to extra battery

I think it is supposed to support digital SIMs and thus simplify everything a lot.

Apparently named an e-SIM, yet to catch up to the digital age I guess :shrug:

people say they don't want thinness every year

but if you pick up an iPhone 4 or 5 it's shocking how thick and heavy they feel.

eventually we'll have devices that are as thin as paper
