It just occurred to me that the Air is the only iPhone that’s actually benefited from not having a SIM card tray. Every US model, since they removed it, has shipped with a plastic spacer in its place, which just makes me angry. How can you be so obsessed about component density and then ship a plastic spacer larger than a Taptic Engine in one of your most space-constrained devices? I can understand why, but it still felt insulting to get a nerfed version of the product for nothing in return
@radu In previous years this has been true, but as I recall this year the iPhones that don’t have a SIM slot actually have a slightly bigger batteries than the ones that do.
@tuomas_h Oh that’s pretty cool. They probably still have the spacer though, right?
@radu They don’t have the spacer anymore, that extra room is taken by the battery now.
