Brent was kind enough to help me get set up here and Brent let's consider ourselves going and I'll keep letting people in as we go here.

But Brett also was someone that was kind enough to pop up a question on the

subreddit and it's something that I actually wanted an excuse to talk about, which is the iPhone lineup.

So Brent, go ahead and hit me with your question and let's start talking about iPhones.

So it's kind of three, pretty random trends, but one of them is iPhone thickness and this is more of an

observation I don't necessarily expect you to have any answers but we hit the point

where it was down to 6.9 millimeters with the iPhone six and that was bend gate, right?

And most of those gates are the kind of thing where you expect it to just kind of go away.'s not really that big of a deal people are

stress testing it they find these limitations to make a big deal out of it and

then and then it goes away but you saw Apple over the next four generations of iPhone increase the thickness all the way up to 8.3 with the 10-R and the 11.

And... What was the thinnest that they ever achieved?

Or which version was the thinnest?

The six was 6.9 millimeters.

And then they increased it a little bit,

every generation up to the 10-R and then the 11 were both at 8.3.

And now with the 12 we're back down to 7.4.

And I understand there's the design change from the rounded sides to straight sides and so it feels

larger than it does because of the flat sides. But I feel like at some point Apple was admitting like oh yeah we did make these things too thin and it was a bit of a problem.

I don't know.

I don't know that that's it because we know that the reason is is when they change the

screens like they need they need more battery and we know because they've told us multiple times

that you know the 5G modem is a huge power suck.
