The Thin Phone Fallacy: Why Apple and Samsung are ignoring the only smartphone rule that matters

Why? As sleek as these devices look, they violate the cardinal rule of smartphone success: "don't give users bad battery life!" Poor battery life is the capital sin of the mobile world. We've seen this movie just a few years ago, with the 2020 iPhone 12 mini. The world loved its compact size, but nobody could live with the constant battery anxiety. Not surprisingly, Apple killed it after just two generations. Remember the not so distant days of 'wall huggers' just scanning every room they go into for a power outlet? Or that one friend who turned their bag in more than just a bag — a mobile charging station, tangled with cables and bulky power banks. Those were NOT happy times. And Apple's idea in 2025? An iPhone 17 Air with a 2,800 mAh battery. Well, the thin phone formula in 2025 might be different than the mini one, but leads to the same dead end: a sleek-looking phone with a battery that dies by... 5pm. The light weight is a nice trick—you might forget the phone is in your pocket. But the moment you start using it, there's still no escaping the reality of the big physical size. A thin phone with a big screen is still a big phone, and it won't win over anyone who misses truly compact devices. A New Path is Possible While Apple and Samsung try super slim phones, OnePlus tries super-battery phones (Image by OnePlus) At the same time, other parts of the industry are proving there's a better way. What if a compact phone could have... incredible battery life? This isn't a fantasy, even if it may sound like one. Brands like OnePlus are showing that you don't have to choose between a manageable size and a massive battery. Take the OnePlus 13s (aka OnePlus 13T), a 6.3-inch phone, same size as the compact iPhone 16 Pro or Pixel 9 Pro. However, thanks to clever engineering and different priorities, OnePlus includes a 5,850 mAh battery inside that phone. And this is not even one of those cutting-edge silicon-carbon batteries, it's just a regular cell (the Chinese-bound 13T model uses silicon-carbon and comes with an even higher 6,200mAh capacity). This is proof that a compact phone can have amazing battery. It is proof that settings different priorities can yield much better results for the end user. So why are Apple and Samsung ignoring this? Is it a genuine design obsession, or are they simply unwilling to build a smaller phone with a great battery because... it might threaten the fat profit margins of their "Pro Max" and 'Ultra' behemoths? I'll just leave this question here for you to ponder. The other weak spot: performance iFixit teardown shows Samsung was desparate to add at least some cooling to this design (Image by iFixit) I usually wouldn't care too much about performance (most flagship phones these days are powerful enough), but a recent iFixit teardown of the Galaxy S25 Edge reveals just how desperate Samsung was in its attempt to introduce at least some cooling to the 5.8 mm thin design of the phone. A CT scan of the S25 Edge reveals how the vapor chamber directs heat to... the cell itself. This is not uncommon, but it results in higher temperatures hitting the battery not just during charging, but also even with just average use. The result is your battery getting exposed to temperatures way above the recommended 30°C, and ultimately, not only worse battery life, but faster battery degradation. Talk about a double whammy. Power users and gamers will also notice this with heavy workloads, but that is not even my first concern here as even the regular user can feel it. An inevitable encounter with reality Whatever the reason, the market is brutally practical. No amount of marketing glamor or launch-day hype can save a phone that dies before dinner. Imagine you're on a once-in-a-lifetime trip, hiking for hours to reach the perfect sunset spot. You take out your phone and… the screen is black. All of that sleek design is totally worthless at that moment. Or even worse, imagine relying on that phone to navigate back home. A super-slim flagship with an inflated price and a mediocre battery isn't just a bad product; it's a fundamental misunderstanding of what people want from a device they depend on.

Apple's Liquid Glass looks bad, but everyone will still copy it

You know it, I know it, we all know it. Whenever Apple unveils any new product, it usually gets copied and emulated to oblivion. We've seen it time and time again with the company's phones, tablets, laptops, and watches, but we are most commonly witnessing this in software, where the bar of entry is a bit easier to hop over. Now that Apple has unveiled iOS 26 and macOS 26 with its newest universal design language, called Liquid Glass, I am dreading that we are going to see it copied and emulated in just about any digital interface over the coming years. Why? Well, because it's developed by Apple, and if there's one thing that we can be certain about Apple's rivals is that they all tend to eventually copy anything the company does. Let me preface this by saying that currently we can't really judge Liquid Glass objectively, since it's still in beta and being actively changed with every new developer beta release. Until it is released officially this September, we can't objectively speculate about Apple's new design direction. That said, my personal experience with the betas and the implementation of Liquid Glass on both the iPhone and the Mac has been mostly negative. The heaps of bugs aside, the Liquid Glass aesthetics feel off and out of place on either device I've used it so far. Liquid Glass is an accessibility nightmare At this point, I don't feel that Apple will be able to pull off this visual restyle and convince the wider public that it looks better than what the ecosystem has right now. It's a combination between my dislike for Apple's own implementation of the glass-like design and my shaken confidence that Cupertino is capable of shipping a coherent and complete product. Because that's what Liquid Glass is, you know. Apple's fancy bucket of paint aiming to distract you from the Apple Intelligence fiasco and the Siri assistant in particular. It makes sure we'll be talking about buttons and see-through window handles, and not about how Siri is still just a fancy way to set a timer that only works 6 or 7 out of 10 tries at best. Read more: iOS 26 vs Android 16 vs One UI 7-visual comparison If you've been on this planet long enough, you definitely remember the early aughts, which were absolutely dominated by the Frutiger Aero and Windows Vista Aero Glass style language. Windows 7, which is arguably the best Windows version Microsoft has ever released (fine, Windows 10 is at least on par), also heavily leaned into the glass-like style, and it really clicked. Don't know about you, but this Windows 7 screenshot fills me with a warm nostalgia True, many of you remember that Windows Vista was received rather poorly back when it was released. The problem wasn't the aesthetics, but the outrageous at the time hardware requirements to run the beautiful Microsoft OS, which gave it a bad name and tarnished its public image. But wait, we can go deeper. In January 2000, at the turn of the millennium, Apple introduced the bold new and modern look for Mac OS X 10.0, called Aqua. This design language evolved over the years and was used until Mac OS X Tiger, but fell from grace with 2007's Leopard release. Yep, a rather glass-like interface if you ask me, and it came nearly 25 years ago It's a closed cycle of ideas, really, and this generation's Aqua is called Liquid Glass. See that? Get used to this look because it's going to be everywhere Not eager to point fingers here, but you can probably guess which manufacturers could be among the first to get inspired by the Liquid Glass aesthetics. I have a bunch I can name on the top of my head, and I have the feeling we're thinking about the same ones. Initially, I bet we'd see the design language creep through the lock screen notifications shade, or the quick settings menu. Then, someone would emulate the glass-like, see-through menu navigation elements and buttons. I hope I am not right and would be happy to be proven wrong in the years to come, but I think we'd quickly start seeing complete 1:1 homages to Liquid Glass on a smartphone or a tablet near us, further bringing brand identity into the gutter. That could be a terrible move for Android, which recently also scored a fancy new redesign. Material 3 Expressive is different, though, as it's merely a continuation and evolution of the Material Design of old and not such a major rethinking of the overall aesthetics. Another problem with Material 3 Expressive is that it will only be experienced to the fullest on Google's own Pixel phones and devices from some manufacturers that don't really deviate too much from stock Android (think Motorola, Sony, and some others). All other phone makers can decide just how much of Material 3 Expressive to adopt and to use in their interfaces, which definitely wouldn't help about Android's visual consistency across the board. Could be for the better, though: "Be together, not the same," anyone? I've recently bemoaned how one of my favorite phone brands has been slowly losing its identity in an ever-ending quest to copy Apple, and I hope I wouldn't have to do that for another favorite.

Prototype foldable iPhone screen specs leaked, falls behind Galaxy Z Fold 7

*Image credit — AppleInsider The foldable iPhone might finally become a reality next year, and a prototype is already under testing. Screen specs for this version of the phone have leaked, and it seems that Apple will not be surpassing the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 coming out next month, let alone a potential Fold according to a very reliable industry insider ), will have a main display that is 7.58 inches across. This display's resolution is around 2713 x 1920. For comparison, the upcomingis all but confirmed to have an 8.2 inch main display. Its resolution is expected to be around 2224 x 2488, though that is still to reports, Apple will not market the foldable iPhone as a separate niche. Instead, the company apparently plans to sell the phone as the next top-end variant, taking the place of the Pro Max models. foldable iPhone Fold 7 Receive the latest Samsung news By subscribing you agree to our terms and conditions and privacy policy Apple can innovate in other ways foldable iPhone Galaxy Z Fold 7 As Apple's largest rival in the smartphone space, Samsung isn't making things easier for the. While the Galaxy Z Fold 6 was often considered outdated next to today's competition, thelooks much better. Samsung has genuinely put effort into catching up with its rivals, and in making the dwindling foldable industry appear more enticing to the average company is also launching a budget foldable model this year: the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE . That means we'll likely see a Flip 8 FE next year, which will further give Apple's entry into the industry a run for its isn't to say that thecan't compete with Samsung at all. According to numerous reports, the reason Apple waited so long to make a foldable smartphone is because it wanted it to have an invisible crease. If the company has been able to manage that, then its phone definitely has a much stronger chance against its thewill unfortunately continue Samsung's trend of small batteries and disappointing charging speeds: 4,400 mAh at 25W wired. If Apple uses a denser battery, and the Fold 8 doesn't, that'll be another point for the course, the device is still being finalized, so these specs are subject to change. However, with production expected to start in a couple of months, this is likely what the final product will look like.
