Did Jony design it? He was obsessed with thinner and thinner iPhones. I appreciate the thinner iPad Pro but not sure about this for a phone. I fear the return of Bendgate.

He very well could have

How does "thinner" make the iPhone any better? They're pretty thin already. They've come a long way.

The iPhone has always favoured "thinness" at the expense of battery run time. So every tiny advance in the electrical frugality of the iPhone goes to drive a wider,taller but thinner phone. To what useful end ?
I would prefer to be able to go away on Friday and come back and plug the thing in on Monday, without having to carry a mini rucksack full of gubbins to service my comms needs, I'd happily accept a phone an eighth of an inch thicker to get that.

I suppose there are people who would like to see an iPhone as thin as a credit card. Those of us who are old enough to remember the Motorola Dynatech phone and the bag phone are astounded by the thinness of smartphones today. On top of that, the old phones could only make and receive phone calls, and if you wanted to make a call while driving/riding in vehicle, you needed an external antenna.
