Thinness

[Balotelli45]

How is it that the new Samsung s6 is able to put in a significantly larger battery inside of it (2500 mAh) while also being just slightly thinner than the iPhone 6? I think Apple is holding back when it comes to battery size/capacity.

So why do you think Apple is "holding back"?

Does a higher capacity battery translate to height and width or thickness? I don't know I'm asking.

Might be thinner but is it smaller? Bigger phone, bigger battery. Don't really have to be thicker to get a bigger battery in it.

I don't know, and personally, it's not a concern. As for Apple holding back when it comes to battery size/capacity, maybe, maybe not. I won't lose any sleep over it, either way. Know what I mean?...

I have the S6 at 6.8mm iPhone 6 at 6.9mm

The S6 is thicker than the iPhone, which is how it is able to hold the bigger battery. Apple is trying to appease their customers and go for a thinner phone with a bigger screen.

5.44 x 2.64 x 0.27 inches (138.1 x 67 x 6.9 mm) - Iphone 6
5.65 x 2.78 x 0.27 inches (143.4 x 70.5 x 6.8 mm) - Galaxy S6

The S6 is probably "Thinner" because it was slightly bigger. The S6 also has a higher display which is probably gonna eat away that battery life, not by much, but it'll still use more power compared to a lower display.
That picture says differently on the size though

Oh look, another hit and run thread about Apple doing something wrong...

It looks like the s6 is thicker than the iPhone.

Which is which?? ����

it's ridiculous, isn't it. anyway, going by the photos the S6 is evidently thicker, I did know that Samsung fancies a bit of benchmark test shenanigans, however I am surprised they now carry that over to something as mundane as their device dimensions.
