After a few years of embracing thickness, Apple reportedly plans thinner devices

@arstechnica To those asking if anyone actually wants this: Yes, I do. My iPhone 6 was an amazing wonder of thinness and power. Current iPhones are thick, heavy monstrosities. While I grant that people seem not to mind, given how popular the Pro Max boat anchor is, there must be *something* in Apple's market research that is pointing the way back to lighter and smaller devices. Rumors suggest they'll be extremely expensive, so maybe that was all it took for Apple to get interested again.
